Fee-Only financial planner located in Baltimore, MD, serving clients across the country

Mike Delaney is a Baltimore, MD fee-only financial planner. Northbrook Financial provides comprehensive and objective financial planning, investment management, and tax services to help individuals and families organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Mike Delaney is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
Mike Delaney focuses his energy into helping clients navigate all of their financial needs. His experience includes a stint on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, a career focused on investments at Brown Advisory and insurance at Securian Financial. During these experiences, he learned that a balanced approach and strategic financial planning is what can help clients achieve their goals.
When not talking to clients or researching the next great opportunity for them, Mike & his wife enjoy quiet city living and relaxing whenever their new daughter allows. He loves playing soccer, lacrosse, golf, basketball… and really any sport. When he’s not meeting friends or family at the movies or the local watering hole, you can normally find him reading something very nerdy, like science fiction or financial science.
