#### **Description of the services from which the reportable segments derive their revenues**

During the current year, Integrated Financial Planning Services changed the manner in which management reviews its operations. **As a** result, the Company now has two reportable segments: Broker/Dealer Mutual Fund Sales and Registered Investment Advisor Asset Management. Prior-period segment information has not been recast, as we were not engaged in he new segment at all at that time.

Integrated Financial Planning Services operates In **two reportable segments,** which are based on the nature of the services provided and how the Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates performance.

#### **Broker/Dealer Mutual Fund Sales**

The Broker/Dealer segment derives revenue from the sale of mutual fund shares to clients. The Company has dealer agreements with most of the largest mutual fund companies In the United States. Clients are primarily U.S. citizens living and working overseas. The Company's Investment strategy focuses on long-term retirement planning, and therefore client relationships are expected to be long term.

#### **Registered Investment Advisor Asset Management**

{14}------------------------------------------------

The Registered Investment Advisor ("RIA") segment derives revenue from managing client assets for investment advisory fees. Client assets are held with an independent custodian, Charles Schwab, a platform dedicated to the RIA business and separate from broker/dealer activities. The RIA segment also focuses on long-term investment management and retirement planning services.

#### **Measure of segment profit or loss and assets**

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the notes to the financial statements.

The Company's chief operating decision maker assesses the performance of each reportable segment and allocates resources based on net income.

The measure of segment assets ls reported on the balance sheet as **Total for Assets,** as asset information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker on a segment basis.

#### **How the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss**

The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate the Income generated from each reportable segment In deciding how to manage the expenses of the firm and In setting financial goals for each segment for the future.

#### **lntersegment transactions**

Integrated Financial Planning Services does not have intra-entity sales or transfers between reportable segments.

#### **Factors that management used to identify the reportable segments**

The Company's reportable segments are based on the different services provided by the Broker/ Dealer Mutual Fund Sales segment and the Registered Investment Advisor Asset Management segment, which are managed and evaluated separately by the chief operating decision maker.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from clients located in Europe, primarily U.S. citizens living and working overseas.

#### **The title and position of the individual or group identified as the chief operating decision maker**

The chief operating decision maker of Integrated Financial Planning Services Is the Company's **Board of Directors,**  which includes the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

#### Independent Auditor's Report

To the President fntegrated Financial Planning Services

l have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Integrated Financial Planning Services as of December 31, 2025 and the related statements of income, changes in ownership equity and cash flows for the year then ended that you are filing pursuant to rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on theses financial statements based on my audit.

r conducted this audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. An audit includes performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit further includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that this audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Financial Planning Services as of December 3 I, 2025, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The information contained in the Audited Net Capital Requirements as of December 31, 2025 ("supplemental information") has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit oflntegrated Financial Planning Services financial statements. The information contained in the Audited Net Capital Requirements is the responsibility of the company's management. The audit procedures included determining that the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements and the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming my opinion of the supplemental information, l evaluated whether it, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. 240.para. l 7a-5. In my opinion, the information contained in the Audited Net Capital Requirements as of December 31, 2025 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

{17}------------------------------------------------

The auditor is a public accounting firm which is registered in the PCAOB and is required to be independent with respect to the company in accordance with the U.S. federal security laws and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and PCAOB.

#### **Report on Non-Covered Firm Activities exemption**

I have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying **Integrated Financial Planning Service-s' Exemption Report,** in which Integrated Financial Planning Service ("the Company") identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which (1) the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3: (K)(2){i) and (2) the Company stated that the Company met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

My review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, 1 do not express such an opinion.

Based on my review, I am not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated in all material respects, based on the conditions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule l 5c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

# Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Accounting Control

Integrated Financial Planning Services Karlstrasse 20 69117 Heidelberg Germany

I have audited the accompanying financial statements of Integrated Financial Planning Services (IFPS) as of December 31 , 2025 and the related statements of income, changes in ownership equity and cash flows for the year then ended that you are filing pursuant to rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and have issued my report thereon. I conducted my audit in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

In planning and perfonning my audit, I considered IFPS's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine my auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing my opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. My consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessariy disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies. Under standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, significant deficiencies are deficiencies in internal control, of a combination of defiencies, that adversely affect IFPS 's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report financial data reliably and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements being audited that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. Material weaknesses are significant deficiencies, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that result in a more than remote likelihood that material misstatements in relation to the financial statements being audited will not be prevented or detected. I noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that I considered to be material weaknesses.

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether IFPS's financial statements are free of material misstatement, I performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, I do not express such an opinion.

This report is inteded solely for the information and use of the management of IFPS and the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specific parties .

IFPS has an Overpayment Carry Forward of\$ 157 as of December 31, 2025. The Form SIPC-7 was filed on February 2, 2026.

independent Auditor's Report on the SIPC Annual Assessment Required by the SEC Rule I 7a-5

integrated Financial Planning Services Karlstrasse 20 69117 Heidelberg Germany

ln accordance with rule l 7a-5(e)(4) of the Security and Exchange Commission, l have performed the following procedures with respect to the accompanying schedule (Fonn SIPC-7) of Securities Investor Protection Corporation assessments and payments oflntegrated Financial Planning Services (IFPS) for the year ended December 31, 2025. My procedures were perfomed solely to assist you in complying with rule 17a-5(e)(4), and my report is not to be used for any other purposes. The procedures I perfom1ed are as follows:

1. Compared listed assessment payments with respective cash disbursements records entries;

2. Compared amounts reported on the audited Fom1 X-17-A-5 for the period January I, 2025 to December 31, 2025, with the amounts reported in the General Assessment Reconciliation (Form SIPC-7);

3. Compared any adjustments reported in Fonn SIPC-7 with supporting schedules and working papers;

4. Proved the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations reflected in Form SIPC-7 and in the related schedules and working papers supporting adjustments; and

5. Compared the amount of any overpayment applied with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was computed.

Because the above procedures do not constitute an audit made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, I do not express an opinion on the schedule referred to above. ln connection with the procedures referred to above, nothing came to my attention that caused me to believe that the amounts shown on Form SIPC-7 were not determined in accordance with applicable instructions and forms. This report relates only to the schedule referred to above and does not extend to any financial statements of !FPS taken as a whole.

We confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation in the financial statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement.

We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, [ as of February l 0, 2026] the following representations made to you during your audit.

1. The financial statements referred to above are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. We have made available to you all financial records and related data.

3. There have been no communications from regulatory agencies concerning noncompliance with or deficiencies in financial reporting practices.

4. There are no material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the financial statements.

5. We believe that the effects of the uncorrected financial statement misstatements summarized in the accompanying schedule are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.

6. We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud.

7. We have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving-

a. Management,

Significant estimates and material concentrations known to management that are required to be disclosed in accordance with the AICPA's Statement of Position (SOP) 94- 6, Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Unce1tainties. [Significant estimates are estimates at the balance sheet date that could change materially within the next year.

11. There are no--

a. Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the financial statements or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.

15. Provision has been made for any material loss to be sustained in the fulfillment of or from the inability to fulfill any purchase or sales commitments.

c. No material unrecorded assets or contingent assets, such as claims relating to buyins, unfulfilled contracts, and so forth, whose value depends on the fulfillment of conditions regarded as uncertain.

17. There are no material weaknesses or inadequacies at December 31, 2025, or during the period January l, 2026, to February 10, 2026, in internal control and control activities for safeguarding securities, and the practices and procedures followed in-

Net capital computations, prepared by the Company during the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, indicated that the Company was in compliance with the requirements of rule l 5c3-1 (and applicable exchange requirements) at all times during the period. Reserve calculations under rule 15c3-3 during the period did not reveal any deposit requirements that were not made on a timely basis.

19. There was no computation of segregation requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act that indicated an insufficiency in segregation.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, no events have occurred subsequent to the balance-sheet date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the aforementioned financial statements.
