About Us

Our Company

At Manion and Associates, our goal from day one has been to take the mystique out of the financial services industry, and to create a level of comfort that allows our clients to be active in the management of their personal finances.

Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that financial planning is only for the wealthy. However, the reality is everyone can benefit from a sound financial plan, which means everyone should invest some time planning out his or her future. And whether you earn a little or a lot – or have a little or a lot – the principles of sound financial planning apply to each and every one of us.

For the untrained individual, financial planning can be intimidating because it is not a subject most people are ever taught in depth, and for that reason they are often embarrassed by how little they know. As a consequence many never seek competent assistance.

When you visit the offices of Manion and Associates, you’ll see the words “Service, Integrity and Knowledge emblazoned on the wall in the lobby. These are not hollow marketing buzzwords, but rather the principles by which each member of our staff conducts business in order to assist clients to create a brighter future.

We firmly believe that everyone needs someone they can speak with comfortably about their finances. We make it our business to be that someone, and we do that by putting your financial situation in plain English. It’s a no-nonsense approach that has worked well for our clients for the past 15 years, and we see no reason to change in the years to come.

At Manion & Associates, we believe true wealth is not only about the return on your investments. It's about creating the lifestyle you want. When you have a proper strategy and your money works well for you, you have time for things in your life that matter most - like family, friends and charity. Helping others achieve this is how we are rewarded.

 

Our Commitment to You:

We're committed to our clients first and foremost! Our motto is "Service, Integrity, Knowledge" which means:

  • All calls returned within 24 hours
  • You drop in without an appointment, if we're not already with a client, you're the appointment
  • We assist you with ALL financial matters
  • If we don't know the answer we'll say, "We don't know", then we'll find the answer
  • Community-based family business and it shows with our family-friendly, casual and welcoming atmosphere
