Liberty Wealth Services is a diverse and forward-thinking financial advisory practice with offices across three states. While we are located within Liberty Federal Credit Union, our team operates as an independent and sophisticated practice -- delivering personalized, high-level financial strategies that exceed the traditional credit union advisory experience. Liberty Federal Credit Union offers a unique opportunity as one of the region's largest and fastest growing credit union - currently employing more than 800 staff members across nine states, and assets over $4.3 billion. We take pride in serving a broad range of clients with dynamic and tailored financial solutions. While we are committed to making expert guidance accessible to all, our typical client tends to have more complex financial needs and greater resources than the general demographic of the communities we serve. This unique positioning allows us to bridge the gap between community-based service and affluent-level advising, offering our clients the best of both worlds: trusted, relationship-driven support with the depth and precision of a premier wealth management firm.
