About

Financial Independence, LLC serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as retirement plans, offering modular financial planning and a wealth management program called the Financial Independence BEST Life Planning Program. The firm provides advisory services through the AssetMark Platform and also offers pension consulting and participant education and asset‑allocation models for plan sponsors.

The firm does not directly manage client portfolios; instead it selects and recommends portfolio strategists on the AssetMark Platform and monitors those strategists’ performance and styles. Its stated investment philosophy emphasizes behavioral coaching, manager diversification, and a mix of tactical and strategic approaches, with recommendations typically focused on mutual funds and ETFs.

What is distinctive is that, according to the brochure, all reported assets—$288,104,032 as of December 2025—are managed on a non‑discretionary basis, and the firm does not take independent discretionary authority over client accounts. The firm also discloses activities that can create conflicts of interest—licensed advisors who may earn insurance commissions and participation in AssetMark’s advisor benefits and marketing support programs—while noting its ERISA fiduciary role when providing non‑discretionary pension advice.

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
