Firm History
In 1994, IIS Financial Services started as an independent insurance agency called Innovative Insurance Solutions by servicing the retirement plan needs of Public Sector employees of municipalities, school districts, and the state. During the 2008 financial crisis and the three years following, the office recognized an emerging trend toward multi-dimensional planning. Thus began the journey toward developing the experience and credentials to advise clients in all areas of financial planning to include investments, insurance (disability, life, and long-term care), and retirement planning.
In 2006 and 2009 respectively, brothers David Hanson and Carl Hanson joined the office and began leading the transition away from representing manufacturers of financial products by creating an independently managed investment and financial planning firm representing the client. The firm changed its name to IIS Financial Services in 2011 to reflect the broadened comprehensive financial planning approach they offer to clients.
Starting in 2013 and years after, David and Carl recognized that the financial planning profession was rapidly becoming more complicated and their growing clientele was becoming more sophisticated. New financial planning technology was implemented with a new fee structure that includes a fee-for-service option, offered to clients who don't want their assets managed but still would like advice. During this time, IIS Financial planned for the future by devoting our team members to areas of specialties within the firm, such as financial and retirement planning for individuals and families, insurance, and employer retirement plans.
