A complete list of active advisors currently associated with Independent Wealth Solutions

Warmer can help you find a great advisor at Independent Wealth Solutions or one who fits your needs even better.

Independent Wealth Solutions is a state-registered advisory firm that serves individual investors and retirement plans, offering portfolio management through third-party sub‑advisers and 401(k) plan consulting and administration on the Betterment at Work platform. The firm operates with a very small client base and two advisors, and provides tailored advisory and solicitation services rather than managing most assets directly in-house. Rather than directly executing investment strategies, Independent Wealth Solutions evaluates client goals and selects sub‑advisers to implement portfolios, furnishes each recommended adviser’s Form ADV Part 2, and documents solicitor disclosures when referring clients. For plan clients the firm coordinates with Betterment’s recordkeeping, discretionary advisory, and participant-management tools, and reviews sub‑advisers periodically for ongoing suitability. Distinctive features noted in the brochure include an affiliation with an insurance entity and the sale of fixed annuities by firm personnel, with commissions possible for those insurance sales, which the firm discloses as a potential conflict of interest. The firm also discloses receipt of referral compensation and business-development benefits from third parties (including Betterment), and a succession arrangement and organizational restructuring that underscore its small, closely held operating model.

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
