Our story.
Charles “Chuck” Failla, CFP® founded Sovereign Financial Group with a clear conviction: advisors who operate as true fiduciaries should have the infrastructure to do it well, at a cost that doesn’t eat into the value they deliver to clients.
What started as an RIA serving individual clients grew into something broader. Chuck recognized that the same support structure he was building for himself could work for other advisors too. Sovereign Advisor Solutions is the result of years of building, refining, and expanding that platform.
Chuck’s influence in the RIA space extends well beyond Sovereign. In 2021, he founded goRIA, an educational media platform built for advisors weighing the move to independence. A year later, he partnered with InvestmentNews to make goRIA the go-to resource for advisors going RIA, with podcasts, articles, and videos covering exactly what you need to know to make the move.
We’ve been doing this longer than some of the better-funded names in the space. The difference is we built it on the economics of running an advisory practice, not on venture capital expectations.
Making independence sustainable.
Our mission is to help advisors nationwide build practices they truly own.
You’ll serve clients as fiduciaries, operate efficiently, and grow without unnecessary overhead.
