Our latest content
My wife and I have been working with IFG for around 5 years…Adam Bergman and team have been with us every step of the way. They have been super responsive and helpful answering very specific questions about managing our accounts and strategy.
John Templin
We switched to IRA Financial because we wanted our SDIRAs to have check writing abilities. My husband still asks our original Customer Service Representative questions regarding the “fine print” and she is very responsive.
Lynn Gabrielli
The team is very responsive, professional, and quick to help you through the complex process of setting up a checkbook LLC…For really complex questions, Adam (the CEO) is also super responsive and offers great advice. Highly recommended.
Stephen Ellis
A client explains why he chose IRA Financial!
“I first tried working with [another provider]…When I proceeded to my due diligence, I was so disappointed by multiple aspects of the trust company documents that I backed out of the entire transaction…I then turned to IRA Financial.
Having been burned once, I snooped around to identify the trust company (IRA Financial Trust), found their “forms” webpage, and reviewed all the relevant forms before proceeding. Overall, the application process with IRA Financial was not too painful. Even better, they did signatures via DocuSign and in the process presented all the relevant documentation including information about fees and minimum account balance requirements.” Read Article →

Did You Know?
A self-directed retirement plan can be checkbook controlled (LLC) or custodian controlled. The LLC option will give you the most control over your funds, but both offer freedom and allow traditional and alternative investments.
