The IFG difference

Built around the advisor — not the home office.

We don't sell shelf space. We sell a team that picks up the phone, technology that doesn't slow you down, and a transition that doesn't blow up your practice.

Real support, real people

A named transition team, in-house compliance, and a virtual assistant program. No tickets, no run-around — actual humans who know your book.

Technology that compounds

An integrated stack across CRM, planning, performance reporting, and client portal — so your team spends time on advice, not on duct tape.

Marketing that ships

Done-for-you content, compliant ad templates, and an in-house creative team. We help you grow — not just stay compliant.

Models that fit your business

W-2, 1099, OSJ, RIA, hybrid — we structure around how you actually work, not the other way around.

Compare business models →

A transition that doesn't break you

90-day playbook with assigned ops, client-communication scripts, paperwork concierge, and post-move check-ins. Advisors land standing up.

Community, not a roster

Two national conferences, regional huddles, and an active advisor network. Independence without working alone.

Real stories from advisors who made the move.

Most advisors don't leave their broker-dealer because of payout. They leave because their team can't keep up. Watch how IFG advisors transitioned, grew their book, and got their nights back.

Growth — "Rep recruiting: growth."

Advisor voices

What advisors actually say after they move.

"I'd shopped four broker-dealers. IFG was the only one where the senior team called me back personally. That alone told me what kind of place this was."

Bryce J., IFG advisor
Bryce J.IFG Advisor · West Coast

"The transition team mapped every client account, drafted the letters, and handled the paperwork. I moved 94% of my book in 60 days."

Chris D., IFG advisor

"I run my practice, my way. But when I have a complex case, I have actual people to call — not a portal."

Larry S., IFG advisor

"The level of independence IFG gives you is real — not marketing copy. I set my own fees, build my own model, and still have a full compliance team behind me."

"I was nervous about compliance after leaving my wirehouse. IFG's in-house team had my marketing approved in days, not weeks. It's a completely different experience."

"First year at IFG I grew revenue 31%. Better payout, better tech, and a BD that actually wants you to succeed — it compounds fast."
