Thoughtful Decisions for Your Financial Future

Independent investment management, financial planning, and insurance solutions informed by research, guided by discipline, and centered on what matters most to you.

A Thoughtful and Independent Approach

  • Personalized to You

    Investment and planning decisions begin with your goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and broader financial circumstances.

  • Personally Managed

    Client portfolios are personally constructed and reviewed by Mendel Harlig rather than outsourced to a generic portfolio model. Existing holdings are reevaluated over time, and new investment ideas may be considered when they offer a potentially more appropriate balance of risk and expected return.

  • Independent by Design

    Harlig Financials is not built around a proprietary product lineup or a single provider. Investment strategies and insurance options can be considered from a broader range of available choices, with the focus remaining on what fits your goals and circumstances.

  • Independent Custody

    Client assets are held with Charles Schwab, an established independent third-party custodian. Clients receive account statements and have direct access to their accounts through Schwab.

Why I Built Harlig Financials

About Mendel Harlig

I founded Harlig Financials out of a genuine interest in investing, financial decision making, and working directly with people.

I hold a Juris Doctor, a Master of Science in Finance, and a bachelor’s degree in economics. Before founding Harlig Financials, I spent more than five years in finance, including strategic finance and capital planning at large publicly traded companies where I supported leadership on complex financial and business decisions.

Through Harlig Financials, I have managed portfolios for clients across a range of ages, goals, time horizons, risk preferences, and levels of wealth. This experience has reinforced the importance of understanding each client’s circumstances rather than applying the same strategy to everyone.

I enjoy helping clients make thoughtful financial decisions and become better positioned to pursue their goals.
