About

Raymond James Financial Services Advisors, Inc. (RJFSA) provides financial planning, investment consulting, and advisory services to a broad client base that includes individual and high-net-worth clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, corporations, charitable organizations, and institutional clients. It also sponsors wrap-fee advisory programs and supports institutional consulting and portfolio management across a large advisor network and affiliated advisory firms.

RJFSA delivers non‑discretionary planning and investment consulting that is tailored to client goals, using fact‑finding, risk profiling, and analytical tools that include deterministic and probability modeling to illustrate potential outcomes. The firm encourages clients to implement recommendations through its advisory programs or other providers and has updated its disclosures to address technology, cybersecurity, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine‑learning tools in its operations.

Compared with many peers, RJFSA is affiliated with a municipal advisor, an arrangement that supports its municipal and public‑finance work and is uncommon among large institutional advisors. It also recently added a SIMPLE IRA Employer Advisory & Consulting Services program — a plan‑level, non‑discretionary offering that combines SIMPLE IRA simplicity with 401(k)-style oversight and customizable menus (including access to American Funds target date series) — and maintains targeted marketing arrangements such as a disclosed partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management.

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
