Independent Financial Partners (IFP), an independent broker-dealer and multi-custodial RIA headquartered in Tampa, Fla., has hired Melissa Loner as the firm’s new chief compliance officer.
Founded in 2000, IFP operated as a hybrid RIA and OSJ until earlier this year, when the company relaunched as its own broker-dealer.
Loner previously served as CCO and vice president of fiduciary services at Cambridge Investment Research, one of the largest broker-dealers in the country. In her new role with IFP, she will be responsible for driving compliance and supervision strategy.
Loner succeeds IFP interim CCO Tim Moyer, who will now be overseeing the firm’s supervision unit. He will work closely with Loner as she builds out the IFP compliance team.
