About

LaFleur & Godfrey LLC is a team-based wealth management firm that manages about $1.016 billion for roughly 479 clients and serves primarily individuals and high-net-worth families, along with trusts and estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and small businesses. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, model ETF portfolios, third‑party manager selection, and implements advice for held-away accounts and tri‑party 401(k) arrangements.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes active, fundamental analysis-driven investing, concentrated company ownership, and focused portfolios that rely largely on individual stocks and bonds while using ETFs, mutual funds, and private funds as appropriate. LaFleur & Godfrey operates several firm-managed equity strategies (e.g., Focused Core 30, Focused Dividend 10, Focused Emerging Trends, and Focused Blue Chip) and serves as an ERISA/IRC fiduciary for retirement-plan and IRA clients.

What distinguishes LaFleur & Godfrey from many peers is its integration within the Focus Financial Partners platform and the related affiliated services it can access; the brochure discloses relationships with other Focus affiliates such as pension consultants, broker-dealers, and insurance firms. The firm also facilitates treasury, cash and credit solutions through intermediaries (UPTIQ and Flourish) with disclosed revenue-sharing arrangements and introduces clients to insurance solutions via Focus Risk Solutions, all of which are documented potential conflicts of interest and are less common among similar team firms.
