About Dave Liegakos

Hi, I’m Dave Liegakos. My entrepreneurial journey started in 2017, facing the same challenges as many Montana small business owners—operations, cash flow, and tough decisions without a clear plan. I found traditional advice didn’t address real business struggles, so I built Intrepid to deliver practical, real-world solutions.

Through hands-on experience and problem-solving, I learned what it takes to succeed as a business owner. Outdated, one-size-fits-all strategies don’t work—so Intrepid offers tailored guidance, business growth strategies, and actionable support for every stage of your journey.

At Intrepid, we use innovative, proven strategies—not generic templates—to help you overcome obstacles and grow with confidence. Whether you’re launching, scaling, or refining your business, I’m here to guide you through every challenge and opportunity.

I love living in Montana with my family and exploring the outdoors. Let’s work together to turn your business goals into reality—starting today.

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™
Jul 16, 2025
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.
