“FIFS
was a Godsend for us. We now have a broker dealer
who truly takes care of us with honesty, personal
attention and respect. You will be hard pressed to
find a better back office. We are extremely thankful
for finding them. Check them out!”
“FIFS is the absolute best broker-dealer I've worked
with in my 37-year investment career. I've known Phil
Palmer, FIFS's principal, for something like 20 years.
With FIFS, he's done everything the best possible
way. FIFS' compliance brings practices that can hurt
registered representatives and invest advisors into
sharp focus. We even get into the workings of NASD
and SEC enforcement. All of this is done with a minimum
of fuss (and time!). Frankly, I've never had as much
compliance comfort as is built-in here, and it probably
takes me less than 30 minutes monthly to make sure
that my practice is in apple pie order. ”
“You'll like the folks at FIFS – it's basically a
family of professionals gathered around a concept
that seems perfectly designed to keep your practice
and my practice humming.”
“My former broker dealer lost all the personalization
a profitable firm needs. Phil and his staff addressed
all my concerns and assisted greatly in a smooth transition.
They are hands on and available. With most broker
dealers you're talking to an empty suit. Not with
these people.”
“Over 15+ years, I have been with broker dealers
as small as 150 registered representatives and as
large as 15,000+. The economies of scale I envisioned
with large firms disappeared with their bureaucracy
and their attention to the “paperwork process” over
“customer service”. FIFS treats me as an individual,
is responsive to my requests and keeps me compliant.”
“My relationship with First Independent Financial
Services has been very successful. The emphasis on
proper compliance, sound advice, consultation and
independence has been something I have enjoyed here.
This business to say the least takes a great deal
of skill and knowledge in a lot of different areas.
I have felt comfortable putting my trust in FIFS.
“
“I plan to retire with FIFS. They have been honest and straight forward since I joined. Everyone has helped me as I move to fee-based compensation. I especially appreciate the fact that we are free to recommend the products and services which best meet the investor's needs.”
“I have been associated with some larger broker dealers in the past and find that they lose sight of their representatives as individuals. At FIFS they actually know who I am when I call. It's very refreshing!”
“I have been associated with numerous broker dealers over the years and FIFS is by far the most personal, and easiest to do business with. Their professionalism and common sense approach to financial planning is greatly appreciated and underrated.”
“FIFS has provided me with everything I need and want to operate my business as a registered representative. Fast and friendly service, good pay-out, plenty of help and independence to run my business as my own.”
“Say goodbye to ‘do it our way or else'. At FIFS you can design your practice the way you want, and you'll receive the help you need. They are committed to helping you be as successful as you want to be.”
“During much of my twenty three years as a financial professional I have been associated with Phil Palmer, President and CEO of FIFS. The personal characteristics he has displayed over the years as an individual, like organizational skills, competency, and fairness, have been incorporated into this firm.”
