Helfrich, CDFA® of Vintage Financial Group have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. They reported having served approximately $605 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and join LPL from Principal Securities, Inc.
Based in Omaha, Neb., the seasoned advisors have worked together since 2012 and share a client-centric philosophy and entrepreneurial spirit. With more than four decades of combined experience, Ricketts and Helfrich have built a reputation as a team focused on developing long-term relationships with clients by providing a focused and individualized approach to wealth management.

Looking for more freedom and the ability to offer an elevated client experience, Ricketts and Helfrich interviewed several wealth management firms before selecting LPL as the best fit for their business goals.
