AdvisorFinder

Search Advisors

Search SEC-registered investment adviser representatives (IARs) by name, firm, city, and/or state. No CRD number needed. At least one of name/firm/city/state is required — e.g. browse by city+state alone, or search by name. Returns, per match: CRD, name, the firm(s) they're linked to (with branch city/state), a four-state disclosure status (none_reported / disclosed_no_detail / disclosed_with_detail / unknown — never "clean"), and a link to the advisor's full SEC IAPD record. Data is derived fr

Get Advisor

Get the full profile for an investment adviser representative (IAR) by CRD number — no need to search first if you already have it. Returns employment history (current firm first, then previous), exams passed, the states where they hold an investment-adviser registration (`advisory_states`; broker-dealer state registrations are reported separately as a labeled count in `also_registered_as_broker`, because selling securities is not the same as giving investment advice), professional designations

Check Advisor

Quick yes/no-style verification of an advisor: is their registration active, which states they hold an investment-adviser registration in (`advisory_states`, with any broker-dealer state registrations reported separately as a labeled count in `also_registered_as_broker`), how long they have been in the industry, and their four-state disclosure status. Accepts EITHER a CRD number (all digits) OR a name — optionally narrowed by firm/state to disambiguate common names. If a name matches more than o

Find Bookable Advisors

Search advisors listed on AdvisorFinder's marketplace — professionals with public profiles you can view and contact directly. This searches only AdvisorFinder members (a few hundred advisors), not the full SEC roster; use search_advisors for the full roster. All filters are optional — browsing with none of them is fine, since this tool's scope is already narrow. `specialty` matches against the advisor's bio, client description, quick facts, and credentials (case-insensitive substring). Returns,

Search Firms

Search SEC- and state-registered investment adviser FIRMS by name and/or state. Matches on the firm's primary name, legal name, or any "also known as" prior name on file. Returns, per match: CRD, name, city/ state, AUM band, advisor headcount, and a link to the firm's SEC IAPD record. State-registered-only firms (not SEC-registered) are included but flagged — purely state-registered firms have no advisor rosters at all; state-listed firms showing rosters are dual-registered.

Get Firm

Get the full profile for an investment adviser FIRM by CRD number: identity, address, website, AUM band, headcount, who they serve and how they charge (rendered as lists), any disclosure flag, state registrations, office locations (private-residence addresses are withheld per SEC privacy rules), prior/other names, fee details from their ADV Part 2A brochure (marked as estimated when it is), and how many individual advisor records we have on file for them (an empty roster does not necessarily mea

Get Database Stats

Overall stats about our data: how many firms and advisors we cover, when each data source was last refreshed (vintages), and a full four-state disclosure tally — INCLUDING the 'unknown' bucket (advisors where we simply don't have disclosure detail on file; that is not the same as a clean record). Also states coverage scope explicitly: we do not claim to cover the whole US advisor population, only SEC-registered firms and their active reps.
