Tara Nolan Advisory Services, Ltd

Tara Nolan Advisory Services, Ltd works with high‑net‑worth individuals, entrepreneurs and business clients — the brochure highlights a focus on women and business owners — providing ongoing financial consulting, financial planning, money management and business retirement plan services. The firm frames engagements around a goal‑setting interview and risk‑tolerance analysis to establish investment objectives over a multi‑year horizon.

The firm does not itself custody or directly manage client assets; instead it selects and recommends third‑party money managers (brochure examples include Capital Group and Flexible Plan Investment) after reviewing their strategies, experience, performance and regulatory history, and conducts periodic and annual reviews of those managers’ performance. Financial planning is offered as a separate service and may be delivered on either a fixed‑fee or hourly basis, with advisory relationships structured so the third‑party managers generally hold discretionary authority.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that firm principals are licensed insurance agents and may recommend or sell life insurance products as separate transactions, the occasional presentation of compensated educational seminars, and an explicit practice of pension and business retirement plan consulting — activities that are less common among peers in its regulatory category. The filing also discloses regulatory actions in 2020: a stipulation and consent order regarding ADV filing deficiencies and a cease‑and‑desist related to unlicensed advisory activity by an associate, with the associate subsequently obtaining licensure.
