About Dave Liegakos

Hi, I’m Dave Liegakos, founder of Intrepid Financial Services in Ronan, Montana. I help individuals, families, and small business owners connect their financial decisions with the life they want to build.

My entrepreneurial journey began in 2017. As a business owner, I experienced the challenges of managing cash flow, weighing opportunities, and making decisions that affect both your livelihood and your family’s future. That experience shapes my approach to financial guidance: practical, personal, and grounded in your priorities.

For individuals and families, I offer financial planning, retirement planning, and investment management. For business owners, I help connect personal wealth planning with business growth, retirement plans, and exit or succession strategies.

As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS), I bring a particular focus to the financial decisions business owners face as they build their companies and prepare for what comes next.

I believe you deserve clear explanations, transparent fees, and a plan you understand. We’ll talk through your goals, identify what needs attention, and work together on manageable next steps.

Outside of work, I enjoy life in Montana with my family and exploring the outdoors. I welcome clients locally in the Mission Valley and throughout Montana, with virtual meetings available for clients nationwide.

What to expect in the first meeting

Our first meeting is a complimentary introductory conversation focused on you. We’ll discuss what prompted you to reach out, your financial priorities, and the questions or decisions you’re facing. Whether you’re planning for retirement, looking for investment guidance, or thinking about your business’s future, you don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. This is a chance to share your goals and learn how I can help. I’ll explain our services, how fees work, and what working together could look like. You’ll have time to ask questions and decide whether we’re a good fit, without pressure to commit. Choose an in-person meeting in Ronan, Montana, or connect by video or phone.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Dave Liegakos at Intrepid Financial. After selling my home, I was faced with an important decision about how to invest the modest profit I had made — and to be honest, I felt overwhelmed. I didn’t have a retirement plan in place, was launching a new business, and with the economy being so uncertain, I was hesitant to take on any high-risk investments. Dave took the time to really listen and understand my unique situation. He walked me through every option in a clear, thoughtful way that made me feel informed and confident in the choices I was making. What really stood out was how personalized his approach was — I never felt rushed or like I was just another client. He made me feel like I was his only client, offering steady guidance, patience, and reassurance every step of the way. On top of the investment support, Dave helped me think through critical aspects of my business plan, including future tax planning and how to stay financially flexible as I grow. His advice has already made a meaningful difference in how I manage my finances and look ahead to the future. If you're looking for a financial advisor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic but also genuinely cares about your individual goals, I highly recommend Dave. Working with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
