You’ll have the option to create an account and compare the top advisor profiles that complement your needs.

Most people turn to online reviews for help with choosing products and services. Indyfin shows reviews from people like you who received financial advice from each professional. At-a-glance ratings indicate if the advisor is a good listener, readily provides information and acts in the client’s best interest as a fiduciary.

Indyfin Costs

Indyfin is free to consumers. Some advisor profiles post fees. There’s always a link to the SEC registration (Form ADV), where you can learn about fee structures and account minimums. You’ll set up an initial consultation (typically free) with the financial advisor you choose to learn about specific costs.

Indyfin: What’s in it for Financial Advisors?

Financial advisors save time by using Indyfin to find prospective clients looking for their skills, financial products and services. Indyfin won’t match you to a long-term retirement planning specialist if you need help budgeting for college expenses or a house. Neither party wastes time on the phone with a potential client or professional that’s not a good fit.

If you choose one of Indyfin’s recommendations, your personal financial advisor will immediately understand your priorities.
