Financial Independence Advisors

Financial Independence Advisors

Brohinsky, a CPA with a Master of Accountancy, built Financial Independence Advisors as an extension of an existing accounting practice after clients repeatedly asked for unified tax and investment counsel. The firm operates from Jacksonville and Deland, Florida, and is structured as a boutique where every advisor carries a CPA or CFP designation; over 80% of its professionals are Certified Public Accountants in the State of Florida. It does not sell commission-based products, which the firm states is designed to remove compensation bias from portfolio construction. The investment approach is anchored in tax-aware financial planning, spanning retirement plans, individual portfolio management, and ongoing tax optimization. The firm’s own materials position tax planning as the lens through which all asset-allocation and withdrawal decisions are made, rather than a secondary service. While the firm does not publicly disclose specific portfolio holdings, its wealth advisors manage portfolios for individuals, business owners, and families with an emphasis on after-tax outcomes. The practice is geographically concentrated in northeast and central Florida. Financial Independence Advisors runs a lean operation with named partners including Joel Chamberlain, Kenneth Krey, and Ronald Cantlay alongside President Isaac Brohinsky. Additional wealth advisors and a dedicated client-services team support the firm's deliberately capped client base. The Deland office extends the firm's footprint into central Florida. No information is publicly available on AUM or total client assets. Tax-centric advisory is the firm's structural anchor: it was founded by CPAs, is majority-staffed by CPAs, and integrates ongoing tax preparation and planning directly into the investment-management relationship. This alignment means the same professionals who prepare a client's tax return are responsible for designing the investment strategy that feeds into it, creating a closed feedback loop that generalist RIAs typically cannot replicate.
