About

Innovative Advisory Group provides investment management and financial planning to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations and employer‑sponsored plan participants. The firm offers discretionary asset management alongside comprehensive financial planning and business retirement plan services, and reports roughly 298 clients served by an eight‑advisor team with about $194 million in discretionary assets.

The firm integrates portfolio management with financial planning, drawing on charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and employing long‑, intermediate‑ and short‑term strategies; it generally avoids uncovered option writing and the routine use of margin. IAG also delivers standalone planning work and specialist services such as plan platform review, third‑party manager identification and family‑office style engagements.

Several features distinguish the firm from many team peers: it maintains a multi‑office platform (five offices), an ownership structure split equally between two principals through holding companies, and disclosed affiliated businesses that include an insurance agency and a media/holding entity, which the firm identifies as potential conflicts when insurance products or website referrals are involved. The firm also segments custody by asset type—typically recommending a major retail custodian for publicly traded assets and a separate banking custody solution for non‑public investments—and engages in solicitor and referral arrangements with unaffiliated advisers.

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
