About

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.

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
