About

LPL Financial is a national broker‑dealer and SEC‑registered investment adviser that delivers advisory and brokerage services through a network of investment adviser representatives to individuals, retirement plan participants, banks, trust companies and other institutions. Its offerings include financial planning, wrap and model portfolio programs, third‑party asset management (TAMP) access, participant‑level retirement advice (IPA and OPA), and institutional platforms such as the Bank Wealth Program.

Advice and account management are provided primarily by IARs who may implement LPL Research model portfolios, third‑party subadvisors, or customized strategies on either a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, with options spanning strategic and tactical allocations, direct indexing and alternative exposures. The brochure notes LPL’s use of machine‑learning and other advisor‑facing tools for operational and research support while stating those systems are not used to make investment decisions for clients.

What distinguishes LPL from many peers is the scale and breadth of its non‑advisory financial activities alongside its advisory platform—an affiliated insurance agency, a firm‑offered Secured Credit Account and credit‑card arrangements, and various recordkeeping and bank partnerships—combined with oversight of over $819 billion in discretionary assets and more than 22,800 advisors. The firm’s brochure also discloses multiple regulatory enforcement matters and indicates it does not advertise hypothetical performance in its materials.

I’m Tim Lyons, a fourth generation Floridian and independent financial advisor in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. I’ve spent nearly 19 years helping families and small business owners plan with clarity. I started in real estate, moved into risk management, and ran my own insurance agency, where I worked with more than 200 small businesses and 400 families. From 2019 to 2024 I led a full service advisory practice at Edward Jones, then went independent and founded Lyons Resources. I listen first and build the plan before I recommend anything. I give every family the advice I’d give my own. I’m a husband, a father of four, and I mentor young adults.

Lucas F

Series 66, ChFC®, Series 7, CRPC®, CFP®

Overland Park, KS

Proper Planning

I founded my firm to help families and business owners make confident financial decisions, without the confusion, pressure, or one-size-fits-all advice that too often dominates this industry. Before entering wealth management over a decade ago, I founded and operated a successful software company in Overland Park. Running a business taught me how systems really work: cash flow, risk, tradeoffs, and the consequences of decisions made today that don’t show up until years later. That perspective still shapes how I approach financial planning: structured, consultative, and focused on solving real problems for my clients. We work with clients on comprehensive wealth management, retirement planning, and employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k) and other qualified plans for small and mid-sized businesses. Early in my career I recognized the importance of constant improvement and learning. I hold the ChFC® (Chartered Financial Consultant®), CRPC® (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor®) and CRPS® (Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist®) designations through the College for Financial Planning. More importantly, I believe good advice starts with listening. Every client’s situation is different, and effective planning requires understanding your goals, values, and preferences, not just numbers on a page. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family, supporting my kids’ activities, traveling, enjoying winter sports, or continuing to deepen my knowledge of finance, technology, and business. I consider it a privilege to do this work. My goal as a founder and advisor is simple: build long-term relationships and provide clear, thoughtful guidance that helps clients move forward with confidence.

Mt. Pleasant, MI

LPL Financial

I believe financial planning should be practical, understandable, and tailored to each client's unique situation. Whether someone is preparing for retirement, growing a business, managing a company retirement plan, or navigating a major life transition, my goal is to simplify complex decisions and provide guidance they can feel confident acting on. As the founder of DeMull Financial, I take a comprehensive approach to planning that goes beyond investments alone. Financial decisions rarely happen in a vacuum, so I work with clients to coordinate the many moving pieces of their financial lives, including retirement, taxes, cash flow, risk management, and legacy planning. I am committed to building long-term relationships based on trust, transparency, and accountability. The most rewarding part of my work is helping clients gain clarity, reduce financial stress, and feel confident about their future. Outside of the office, I enjoy golfing, coaching youth athletics, and spending time with my family.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor.
