Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Phillips Financial is an independent, LLC-structured registered investment adviser that has been SEC-registered since 2004. It operates as a capital allocator serving individuals, families and institutional accounts. The firm provides a mix of advisory services — financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and for businesses/institutions, pension-related consulting, manager selection, and client education through periodicals and seminars. Its pricing model is flexible and includes AUM-based fees, hourly and fixed-fee arrangements, and commission-based work. The firm does not profile itself as an ESG-focused investor and is not designated as a multi-state adviser. Industry links include relationships with an insurance company and pension consulting activity; however, the snapshot indicates they are not formally listed as a pension consultant. Phillips Financial has been recognized in CNBC’s Top 100 Financial Advisory Firms list in 2021, 2022 and 2025.
