Welcome to Model FA

The Premiere Influencer Marketing and Coaching Platform for Independent Financial Advisors

Model FA was founded on a simple premise:

Financial Advisors have the power to improve client loves only if they can overcome the challenges in their own.

After growing tired of the status quo, our founder, Patrick Brewer, set out to transform the financial service industry. From the beginning we have believed that advisor-client relationships are at the core of financial advising. We carry that same mentality into the partnerships we build with our advisors.

Today we are the premiere source for financial advisor-centric influencer marketing, practice management tools, and performance coaching. You won’t find cookie cutter solutions here, but instead a refreshing take on an industry that desperately needs revolution.

We pride ourselves on unique, targeted approaches and techniques that actually work. Whether you are ready to launch a podcast or video marketing, need help establishing or reimagining your brand and website, or are looking for some strategic guidance to better yourself and your business, we can help.

Model FA empowers advisors to deliver advice on their own terms — and to spend more time doing what matters most.

Get clients. Grow your profits. Transform your business.
