About

Mayfield Advisors, Inc. provides discretionary investment management, written financial planning, retirement-plan advisory and consulting services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, and small businesses. The firm also works with participant‑directed employee retirement plans, offering plan analysis, investment option selection, and participant education.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and a belief in market efficiency, favoring diversified, buy‑and‑hold allocations implemented primarily through passively managed mutual funds and ETFs (with frequent use of Dimensional Fund Advisors funds). Mayfield documents client objectives in written investment policy statements, uses tools such as Monte Carlo simulation for planning, conducts periodic account reviews, and may retain third‑party managers for fixed‑income mandates.

A distinctive feature is Mayfield’s affiliation with the accounting firm Irvin, Abrahamson & Co., CPAs: the president of Mayfield is the sole shareholder of that accounting firm and related persons of Mayfield are employed as accountants there, leading to cross‑referral activity and a substantial portion of staff time devoted to accounting and tax work. The firm manages roughly $143 million across a relatively small roster of about 38 client relationships and relies on Focus Partners Advisor Solutions for retirement‑plan and operational support, producing a concentrated client base and integrated advisory/accounting service model.
