About

Equity Services, Inc., doing business as ESI Financial Advisors, provides financial planning, consulting and asset management to individuals, corporations, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and employer retirement plans. The firm is dually registered as a broker‑dealer and an SEC‑registered investment adviser and makes advisory programs available through a network of investment adviser representatives.

EFA offers multiple advisory platforms and frequently uses third‑party asset managers and model portfolios (including Fidelity FIWA-based Illuminations, American Funds retirement solutions, AssetMark, Saratoga, Schwab Retirement Advisor Services, and SEI), combining predominantly long‑term strategies with the option for shorter‑term trading and specialized instruments. Many client programs require client authorization for trading or are managed on a non‑discretionary basis — as of 12/31/2025 the firm reported roughly $1.6 billion in non‑discretionary assets versus $1.1 billion in discretionary assets — while other programs grant discretionary authority to third‑party managers.

Compared with many large advisers, EFA’s broker‑dealer activities and affiliated insurance relationships create a meaningful commission and revenue‑sharing component to its business: the firm sells affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, annuities and other products, receives commissions and 12b‑1 fees, and receives payments from Strategic Partners and product sponsors. The firm also disclosed and settled an SEC matter in 2019 related to mutual fund share class selection, reflecting the operational overlap between its advisory and brokerage activities.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
