About
Innovation Partners LLC serves primarily individual retail clients while also working with pension and profit‑sharing plans, corporations, charitable organizations, and municipal entities. The firm offers discretionary portfolio management, access to third‑party investment advisors and managed account programs, plus financial planning and consulting across areas such as estate, retirement, benefits and actuarial analysis.
IPLLC builds individualized strategies and typically provides ongoing monitoring and rebalancing, using a mix of analyses (including fundamental, technical, asset allocation, options and short‑/long‑term trading). Its advisory work is frequently integrated with actuarial, risk management, benefits consulting and plan‑level services, and representatives may assist clients in selecting TPIAs or model portfolios that match stated goals and risk tolerances.
Distinctive for a firm of its size, IPLLC is affiliated with a broker‑dealer and operates as a licensed insurance agency, and its representatives may be registered representatives and insurance agents—arrangements that give rise to commission and referral compensation and potential due‑diligence fees disclosed in the brochure. The firm also offers actuarial, reinsurance and investment banking consulting alongside investment advisory services while managing a relatively modest asset base and limited client roster, a combination that is uncommon among similarly sized peers.

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
