Helping Financial Advisors to grow, protect and maximize the value of their businesses while serving clients more efficiently.

Our History

At IFG, we are able to offer advisors top payouts with access to resources they wouldn't be able to access on their own, such as payroll and benefits services for their staff, acquisition opportunities to grow, and an immediate firm backed continuity plan to protect the value of their business
