About
IFG Advisory, LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to a broad client base that includes individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, estates, corporations and retirement plans. The firm offers portfolio management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), standalone financial planning and consulting, retirement plan consulting (including limited 3(21) and full 3(38) services), and a wrap‑fee program.
IFG tailors investment strategies to client objectives and uses sub‑advisors, third‑party model portfolios, and third‑party managers to implement portfolios; it also manages held‑away assets such as 401(k)s, 529 plans and HSAs to align those accounts with overall financial goals. The firm employs a mix of analytical approaches (fundamental, technical, cyclical) and a wide range of instruments—from mutual funds and ETFs to fixed income, options and certain alternative or leveraged products—and performs periodic reviews at least annually.
Compared with many peers, IFG discloses that a number of its investment adviser representatives are dually registered as registered representatives of LPL, enabling the offering of commissionable brokerage products and creating potential conflicts that the brochure describes and mitigates. The firm also highlights real‑estate‑related planning services — including real estate analysis, cost‑segregation studies and business valuation — alongside customary insurance and referral arrangements and the use of third‑party models (including an Invesco compensation arrangement), features that are less common among large enterprise advisers.

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.
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
