Client Focused Advisors

What Client Focused Advisors does

Client Focused Advisors is a privately held, independent wealth management firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with regional offices in Long Beach, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut. The firm provides financial planning, retirement planning, investment management, and insurance solutions to small business owners, retirees, families, and a specialized niche of FDNY firefighters. The company is led by founding partners Jason R. Hill (CEO/President), Brett Sigler (Vice President, CFP), and William B. Phillips (Vice President), with the team operating under a fiduciary standard and aligned with Osaic Wealth, Inc. (member FINRA/SIPC) for brokerage and advisory infrastructure.

The firm offers a comprehensive product set including 401(k), SEP IRA, IRA/Roth IRA, pension plans, 529 college savings plans, stocks/bonds/ETFs/mutual funds, professionally managed portfolios, annuities, term and whole life insurance, disability and long-term care insurance, health insurance, and estate planning services. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the firm uses industry-standard financial planning tools and a team-based advisory model delivered through in-person, Zoom, and phone consultations via a six-step process. A self-service instant life insurance quotes portal aggregates products from six major insurance carriers (Protective, AIG, Lincoln, Prudential, John Hancock, Principal) and targets SMB owners and retirees.

Client Focused Advisors generates revenue through fee-based advisory services (AUM-linked or service-linked fees, annual billing cadence) and insurance product commissions, with securities and investment advisory services offered through Osaic Wealth, Inc. The go-to-market is relationship-driven, combining educational content marketing, a nationally syndicated podcast (The Boca Raton Shrimp Tank), earned media placements, and referral networks particularly within the FDNY community. The firm holds FINRA registrations covering select states (AZ, CA, CT, FL, GA, MA, MO, NJ, NY, PA, VA) and has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or parent company.
