About

Independent Advisor Alliance (IAA) works with a broad mix of clients — individuals (including high‑net‑worth), small businesses, pooled vehicles, charitable organizations, and retirement plans — offering asset management on both wrap and non‑wrap bases, financial planning, wealth coaching, and retirement plan consulting (including ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) services). The firm also acts as a solicitor and refers clients to third‑party managers and turnkey platforms when appropriate.

IAA’s advisory representatives provide both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and may implement strategies using model portfolios, sub‑advisors, and a range of analytical techniques (fundamental, quantitative, technical, and modern portfolio theory). The firm leverages technology platforms (for example, a third‑party held‑away account platform and an estate‑planning platform) to aggregate assets, rebalance held‑away accounts, and deliver digital estate‑planning workflows alongside traditional planning and coaching.

Compared with many large peers, IAA combines a network model of several hundred advisory representatives operating under independent DBA names with uncommon industry ties: many IAA representatives are dually registered to perform brokerage services through LPL Financial (IAA is partly owned by LPL), and the firm offers access to a third‑party estate‑planning platform that can connect clients to local T&E attorneys. IAA is not structured as an affiliation of multiple independent registered investment advisers, instead relying on supervised IARs, sub‑advisors, and third‑party managers to deliver client services — a governance and referral model that investors should note.

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
