About Us
MP Hughes Financial was built on the fundamental belief that successful financial relationships are grounded in collaboration, integrity, and dedication. In an industry where many advisors focus on transactions, we prioritize building deep, lasting relationships with our clients that often extend across multiple generations.
A Foundation Built on Confidence
Confidence must be earned through consistent actions and unwavering integrity. Every recommendation is guided by what's in your best interest, not what generates the highest fees. This approach allows us to build relationships that go beyond typical advisor-client dynamics, creating partnerships where clients feel comfortable discussing their deepest financial concerns.

Michael P. Hughes, CFP®
Owner/President
As a Financial Advisor, Owner, and President of MP Hughes Financial, my focus is on helping clients pursue financial independence through tax planning, retirement planning, investment planning, and estate planning. What drew me to this profession was the combination of running my own business and building meaningful relationships with clients. I've always had a natural ability with both numbers and people, and this industry allows me to use those strengths to help people pursue their financial endeavors.
I graduated from Drake University in 1989 and earned my CFP® certification in 1994. Specializing in retirement and tax planning. My dedication and consistent service enables clients to know what to expect, which builds the confidence that's central to our relationships.
Each client brings unique circumstances and goals that deserve personalized attention rather than generic strategies. My approach is grounded in integrity, honesty, and accountability. This helps ensure I provide consistent, principled guidance during what is often the most important financial transition of their lives.
Growing up in St. Louis, a great sports town, I learned valuable lessons about goal setting and achievement through competitive athletics. Playing hockey for over 40 years taught me discipline and teamwork, qualities that translate directly to financial planning. Today I play pickleball and golf regularly, enjoying both the physical activity and social connections these sports provide.
The relationships I've built over my career often span multiple generations, with families returning year after year because they value the familiarity and continuity of working with an established practice. I take pride in providing both Financial expertise and genuine partnership to clients during the pivotal transition from working years into retirement.
