Why We Exist:
The Frustrated Investor

Traditional Retirement Accounts Don’t Work for Everyone

Most retirement accounts are designed to benefit big institutions — not investors. They’re packed with limitations, red tape, and hidden fees. We knew there had to be a better way. So we created one.

At IRA Financial, we believe your retirement account should work for you. That’s why we give you the tools to invest in what you know: real estate, private equity, cryptocurrency, and more.

About Our Founder

As a tax attorney, Adam Bergman helped thousands of clients navigate complex IRS rules. But he kept hearing the same frustrations: “Why can’t I invest my retirement money the way I want to?”

He realized that traditional custodians were part of the problem. So in 2010, Adam launched IRA Financial – a self-directed retirement company aimed at offering transparent pricing, a simplified process, and expert support.

“We didn’t start this company to follow the old rules. We started it to rewrite them.”

—Adam Bergman, Founder

I've looked at all of the participants in this space and IRA Financial was the clear choice. They were the easiest to work with, answered all my questions and concerns prior to me taking the steps to open the account. The process is straight forward and there are no surprises. My investments in Real Estate have been largely successful. IRA Financial is professional, has great support, and put the customer in the driver's seat.

Online application process was very simple. Any questions I had was quickly responded to by humans and not simply an unintelligent bot. Establishment of my LLC and bank account was very smooth.
