About Us

IFC works with family owned or closely held businesses as well as families and individuals in the following areas:

Financial Planning

We offer complete financial planning using our three step process where we become your personal CFO and put together then implement a turn key plan for you tailored to your goals. This is a top notch white glove service VERY specific to you, so expect to invest some time with us. You can find out all about the three steps by viewing the 'Our Process' page.

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management involves investment advice and management of your portfolio. We are a fiduciary and always put our clients best interest first. We offer analysis on what you are doing now, investment advice, and both passive as well as active management styles with a choice of flat fee for service, hourly compensation, or an assets under management fee arrangement depending on the scope of service and what makes you most comfortable.

Succession Planning

We work with businesses in the areas of both succession and continuation planning. This involves cash flow planning and strategy around triggering events and funding buy sell agreements among other key points.

Tax Deferred Retirement Plans

We provide robust planning, installation, administration, and management of tax deferred retirement plans. These aren't your parents' dusty 401k that max out with a few thousand bucks a year. Through the use of various types of stacked retirement plans, we can shelter in excess of $350k a year in tax deferred plans for business owners.

We offer holistic financial services to every client.

IFC is a firm that believes in offering holistic financial services to every client while guaranteeing a very high standard of excellence, ethics, transparency, and creativity in our planning. We emphasis tax efficiency and minimizing fees. One of IFC's unique approaches to finances is our three step process. This process is split between two appointments starting with getting to know you all the way through to implementing the plan. This process has been refined with Peter's and Garrett's combined experience of over five decades. You can learn more on the 'Our Process' page.
