The 90-day playbook

You won't be figuring out your own move.

Every IFG transition runs on the same proven track. Here's exactly what happens, week by week.

Days 0–14

Plan & protect

Confidential book review, custodial mapping, legal review of your current contract, transition timeline.

Days 15–30

Set up & stage

IFG tech provisioning, compliance onboarding, paperwork prepared, client letters drafted and pre-approved.

Days 31–60

Move & reassure

You resign on a Friday. We're live Monday. Your transition pod calls your top-50 clients with you.

Days 61–90

Stabilize & grow

Paperwork concierge clears the long tail. Weekly check-ins. Your growth coach starts the next-12-month plan.

Pick your path

One firm. Three very different starting points.

Wirehouse breakaway

"I'm ready to go independent — but I can't blow up my practice doing it."

You've earned your book. You shouldn't lose it on the way out. We've moved hundreds of advisors out of wirehouses cleanly — including Protocol and non-Protocol firms.

  • Pre-resignation strategy session with our transition counsel
  • Client-communication scripts written for your specific clients
  • White-glove paperwork — we drive, you sign
Map my transition
Already independent · switching BD

"My current BD has stopped keeping up."

Slow approvals. Old tech. A service desk that can't find your file. We hear it constantly. Switching to IFG protects what you've built — and finally gives your team a platform that matches it.

  • Side-by-side tech & payout comparison vs. your current BD
  • Repaper roadmap with custodial coordination
  • Compliance "fast-lane" for marketing already in market

RIA / OSJ / hybrid

"I already run a team. I need a partner, not a parent."

OSJ structures, hybrid RIA support, multi-custodian flexibility, and an ops bench that scales with you. We don't squeeze your business into a box.

  • OSJ & supervisory structures designed with you
  • Custodial flexibility (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, more)
  • Branch-level marketing & compliance support

Business models

Independence isn't one shape.

1099 Independent

You own the practice. We're the platform. Top-decile payout, full back-office, branded under your name.

OSJ / Branch

Build a team under your supervision. We provide the structure, the ops, and the compliance bench.

Hybrid RIA

Run your own RIA for advisory while we handle brokerage. Multi-custodian — we don't force a custodian choice.

Economics

What the math actually looks like.

We'll model your actual book against your current setup. No mystery spreadsheets. No "we'll get back to you."

Common questions

What advisors ask on the first call.

How long will my transition actually take?

Most IFG transitions land in 60–90 days from resignation to substantial book completion. Your timeline is mapped on day one — no surprises.

What happens to my team?

Your team comes with you. We help with their licensing transfers and provision their tech access on the same day yours goes live.

Do I keep my book?

Yes — it's your book, in writing. If you ever leave IFG, your clients are yours to take.

How fast does marketing get approved?

Median < 36 hours for standard formats. Pre-approved templates ship same-day.

Can I use my own custodian?

For hybrid RIA structures, yes — multi-custodian across Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing, and more.

Is IFG owned by private equity?

No. We're privately held by people who run the firm. No PE pressure. No quarterly cuts.

Next step

Confidential 15-minute call. No deck. No follow-up if you're not ready.

You ask the questions. We bring the head of transitions and an honest answer to every one.
