About
Independence Financial Advisors primarily serves individual clients, including high‑net‑worth households, and offers separately managed account portfolio management and financial planning services; it also advises a small number of pension and profit‑sharing plans and charitable organizations. The firm manages assets on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and places most client assets into pro‑active asset allocation portfolios.
The firm implements a set of defined model allocations (Aggressive Growth, Growth, Balanced, Income with Growth, Income Plus, and Income) and selects securities from an internal “approved list,” with client objectives and risk tolerance determined through financial planning and risk‑assessment software. Independence conducts regular account reviews and generally manages portfolios on a discretionary basis while permitting client‑imposed restrictions, such as “do not sell” instructions.
Distinctive aspects include its ownership by Franklin Savings Bank and a formal referral relationship with the bank, a directed‑brokerage practice that typically requires clients to open accounts at Fidelity (with some clients using Schwab), and an uncommon multi‑office team serving a relatively large client base—2,734 clients supported by seven advisors, producing a high client‑per‑advisor ratio. Several of the firm’s investment adviser representatives are also licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance sales (with disclosed conflicts and varying time commitments), a practice the firm discloses and addresses in its policies.

Advisors at this firm
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
