Independent Financial Partners provides investment advisory, financial planning, trust and retirement-plan services through a nationwide network of independent Investment Adviser Representatives. As disclosed in its Form ADV, the firm reported $12,538,891,425 in assets under management as of December 31, 2024 and supports a multi-advisor platform of roughly 261 advisors serving tens of thousands of individual, charitable, corporate and high-net-worth clients.

IFP’s advisory model is decentralized: investment strategies and philosophies are set by individual IARs but clients can also elect to use centralized IFP Asset Management (IFPAM), third‑party asset managers, or wrap programs. Accounts may be managed on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, clients can impose written restrictions, and the firm maintains ongoing supervisory and transaction‑review processes overseen by a home‑office compliance and supervision team.

What is most notable versus many peers is the firm’s formal retirement‑plan advisory and pension consulting capability — including both ERISA 3(21) (non‑discretionary) and 3(38) (discretionary) services, IPS development, QDIA and vendor due diligence — and its written processes to comply with DOL rollover guidance (PTE 2020‑02). IFP also partners with National Advisors Trust to provide directed trustee services for trusts and non‑registered assets, and operates affiliated broker‑dealer and insurance entities that the firm discloses and supervises to address related conflicts of interest.
