Your Story

Your Story

Our clients come from all walks of life: individuals, families, business owners, professionals, pre-retirees, and retirees.

We work with business owners, executives, and professionals from across several industries. Our clients range from young families just starting out on their financial journey to individuals enjoying their retirement years—and multigenerational families that have entrusted their financial goals to us for decades. We believe our clients work with us because we make the process easy for them, and they stay with us because we care about their dreams.

Our History

Walking the Walk

Throughout many market challenges, including 1987’s Flash Crash, the technology bubble collapse, the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the Great Recession, and more, IFS not only survived but continued to thrive.

New Horizons

Neil H. Pettes, CFP®, joined the team in 1994 and spearheaded technical and operational improvements to help the firm grow. Today, we continue to provide the services, support, and guidance clients need to reach their goals.

We believe it comes down to your trust and our commitment. Since our firm’s inception, trust, integrity, and commitment have remained the key tenets that guide our purpose and our actions.
