About BFS
Briskey Financial Services, LLC is a fee-based investment advisory firm. The fee-based route was chosen over the commission based path. This simply means that BFS works for you the client, opposed to the investment company who would have provided a commission. This way, no-load investment vehicles are utilized so as to remove any bias or conflicts of interest that might have existed. This more disclosed and objective approach keeps BFS in line with what is in the client’s best interest and puts the client and the Advisor on the same side of the table. The commitment to the fee-based investment approach has successfully graduated BFS to the elite among area investment advisory firms.
