Irving Advisory Group, LLC

Irving Advisory Group, LLC provides advice to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, and business entities, offering financial planning at no additional fee and directing clients to third‑party investment managers. The firm generally limits its investment recommendations to mutual funds, bonds and other fixed‑income vehicles, ETFs, and insurance products including annuities.

Rather than directly managing individual client portfolios, Irving Advisory Group primarily recommends and places clients with third‑party advisers and maintains co‑advisory arrangements with BAM Retirement Solutions/Loring Ward and Matson Money; advisory fees for those arrangements are handled by the third parties and Irving receives a negotiated fee share. The brochure states the firm does not take custody of client accounts or exercise investment discretion, and it describes the use of fundamental and technical analysis and a long‑term trading orientation when advising or selecting managers.

Noteworthy distinctions include disclosed affiliated business activities: the firm’s principal also operates an insurance agency and a tax preparation/tax planning practice and is licensed as an insurance agent and enrolled agent, which the brochure identifies as potential conflicts when commissionable products are recommended. The firm’s client mix includes pension and profit‑sharing plans (a less common client type for similar solo independents), it requires use of its recommended custodian (Schwab Institutional), and it does not aggregate trades for multiple client accounts.
