About

Legacy Financial Independent Advisors serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, families, trusts, estates, businesses and retirement plans, providing discretionary wealth management, financial planning, and retirement‑plan advisory services. The firm manages portfolios using individual stocks, mutual funds, ETFs and bonds and offers ERISA fiduciary oversight and participant education for retirement plans.

LFIA’s investment process is primarily long‑term and grounded in fundamental and technical analysis combined with an internal due‑diligence review; the firm typically holds positions for more than a year but may buy or sell shorter‑term to rebalance or meet client cash needs. The advisor may deploy unaffiliated independent managers for portions of client portfolios and conducts initial and ongoing oversight of those managers while acting in a fiduciary capacity.

Distinctive features disclosed in the brochure include that the firm, though recently established, manages roughly $484 million of discretionary assets with a six‑adviser team and leadership that includes multiple partners from the same family. The firm maintains an institutional relationship with its recommended custodian that provided launch support, software and reimbursements, and several advisory personnel are licensed insurance professionals who may earn separate commissions; the brochure also notes occasional selection of non‑institutional mutual fund share classes due to custodial or tax constraints.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
