Your Independence. Multiplied.
Putting Financial Planners First Since 2003.
You deserve a strategic partner that supports your growth, offers the culture and community you need, and puts you in a position to thrive—not just survive.
Independence was the mechanism. Ownership is the outcome.
You left the wirehouse to build something that’s actually yours. But somewhere between the P&L, the payroll, the compliance filings, and the marketing calendar, “independent” started looking less like ownership and more like a second full-time job. You’re not just a financial advisor anymore — you’re a compliance officer, an HR department, and a marketing team, often all before lunch. Every hour spent fighting those fires is an hour stolen from the clients who actually grow your business, and the equity you’re supposedly building.
Independence gave you the freedom to leave. It’s what you build on top of that freedom that actually makes you a business owner. That’s the part IFG exists for.
Meet IFG: Built Different. Built to Last.
Integrated Financial Group exists for one reason: to help successful financial planners become true business owners, without the instability that comes with corporate roll-ups. Guided by our 100-Year Philosophy, IFG is not for sale. Not now, not ever.
We provide the operational engine and back-office support that make ownership actually work, backed by a collaborative peer network known as The Brain Trust. Free from outside investors and private equity pressure, we’re built to defend your autonomy and help you serve your clients for the long haul.

Experience the Culture: The Annual IFG Retreat
Where Independent Business Owners Collaborate Instead of Compete
Once a year, we step away from the daily grind of running our practices to gather as a collective. The IFG Annual Retreat is an intentional, high-end environment built around peer-led workshops, world-class keynote speakers, and deep tactical sharing. It’s living proof of what “independence, multiplied” looks like in the real world.
Are we a good fit?
Why we turn down 9 out of 10 advisors we talk to.
Because we’re a privately held consortium owned by our members, we protect the culture of the Brain Trust fiercely. IFG works best for advisors who are already successful but still asking, “Is there a better way to do this?” and who are secure enough to share what’s working, not just take from those who do. It’s not the right fit for advisors looking for a hands-off vendor relationship, or those content to coast rather than grow.
MEET THE CEO
Laying the Groundwork for Where You Belong
Hi, I’m Land Bridgers, CEO of Integrated Financial Group. Before leading IFG, I spent years as an industry wholesaler sitting across the table from hundreds of advisors. I’ve seen the loneliness of going solo, and I’ve seen the frustration of corporate wirehouses. Watching brilliant planners hit those artificial walls is exactly what shaped the foundation of IFG.
Let's See If We're a Good Fit
If you’re ready to see what your business looks like when your potential is multiplied by an elite peer network, let’s have a confidential, peer-to-peer conversation.
What we’re discussing
Our Top 3 FAQs
Can a financial advisor maintain 100% business ownership while joining an advisor consortium like IFG?
Yes. Joining IFG allows you to retain complete equity ownership, brand autonomy, and client ownership of your practice. Unlike private-equity-backed aggregators that purchase a stake in your firm, IFG operates as a supportive membership network. Read the full answer →
What is the difference between joining a private-equity-backed financial aggregator vs. a privately-held advisor consortium?
Most aggregators rely on short-term private equity funding, built to scale quickly and eventually sell to the highest bidder. IFG is privately held and built by our members, not outside investors, creating a permanent sanctuary where your practice is never at risk of being sold. Read the full answer →
What is the average timeline and process for a financial advisor transitioning to independence?
The industry average runs 6 to 9 months. With IFG, advisors complete a streamlined, methodical transition in under 6 months, guided by a dedicated support team through every stage. Read the full answer →
