Introduction and Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership” or "JFC"). The financial position of the Partnership’s subsidiaries in Canada as of February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the results for the three month periods ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partnership Capital Subject to Mandatory Redemption, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because of the timing of the Partnership’s financial reporting process. The Partnership’s principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”), is a registered broker-dealer and investment adviser in the United States (“U.S.”), and one of Edward Jones’ subsidiaries is a registered broker-dealer in Canada. Through these entities, the Partnership primarily serves individual investors in the U.S. and Canada. Edward Jones is a retail brokerage business and primarily derives revenues from fees for providing investment advisory and other account services to its clients, fees for assets held by clients, the distribution of mutual fund shares, and commissions for the purchase or sale of securities and the purchase of insurance products. The Partnership conducts business throughout the U.S. and Canada with its clients, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations, depositories and banks. For financial information related to the Partnership’s two operating segments for the periods ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Trust services are offered to Edward Jones’ U.S. clients through Edward Jones Trust Company (“Trust Co.”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, provides investment advisory services to the eight sub-advised mutual funds comprising the Bridge Builder® Trust ("BB Trust"). Passport Research, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, provides investment advisory services to the sub-advised Edward Jones Money Market Fund (the "Money Market Fund"). The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Given the ongoing uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic and related events ("COVID-19") and its duration, the Partnership cannot reliably predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on financial markets or its financial results The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim operations. There have been no material changes to the Partnership’s significant accounting policies or disclosures of recently issued accounting standards as described in Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 1 of the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Annual Report"). The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 26, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | NOTE 2 – LEASES For the three-month periods ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $78 and $75, respectively, and lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were $75 and $86, respectively. The weighted-average remaining lease term was four years as of both March 26, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the weighted-average discount rate was 2.4% and 2.6%, respectively. For the three-month periods ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, operating lease costs were $78 and $74, respectively, and variable lease costs not included in the lease liability were $14 and $15, respectively. Total lease cost for the three-month periods ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020 was $92 and $89, respectively.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Receivables and Revenue | NOTE 3 – RECEIVABLES AND REVENUE As of March 26, 2021 and December 31, 2020, collateral held for receivables from clients was $4,058 and $4,035, respectively, and collateral held for securities purchased under agreements to resell was $1,789 and $1,743, respectively. As the fair value of the collateral either exceeded or was at least 100% of the amortized cost, the expected credit loss was zero for each period. Additionally, partnership loan values remained below the value of capital allocated to partners, resulting in an expected credit loss of zero as of March 26, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of March 26, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $615, $563 and $470, respectively, of the receivable from clients balance and $302, $285 and $291, respectively, of the receivable from mutual funds, insurance companies and other balance related to revenue contracts with customers. The related fees are paid out of client accounts or third-party products consisting of cash and securities, and the collateral value of those accounts continues to exceed the amortized cost basis of these receivables, resulting in a remote risk of loss. The expected credit loss for receivables from contracts with customers was zero as of March 26, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The Partnership derived 13% and 14% of its total revenue for the three-month periods ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, respectively, from one mutual fund company. The revenue generated from this company relates to business conducted with the Partnership's U.S. segment. The following table shows the Partnership's disaggregated revenue information.

On March 19, 2019, the court entered an order granting the defendants' motion to dismiss all claims, but permitting the plaintiffs to amend and re-file certain of their claims. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 3, 2019. On March 30, 2020, the court partially granted the defendants' renewed motion to dismiss the amended complaint and dismissed seven of the ten causes of action it purported to state. The court's order eliminated from the case any claims that rely upon the firm's contractual right to recoup training costs as well as related claims for declaratory relief. It also dismissed various state law claims. JFC and Edward Jones deny the allegations in the remaining counts and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations in this lawsuit. Securities Class Action. On March 30, 2018, Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals were named as defendants in a putative class action ( filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The lawsuit was brought under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Exchange Act, as well as Missouri and California law and alleges that the defendants inappropriately transitioned client assets from commission-based accounts to fee-based programs. The plaintiffs requested declaratory, equitable, and exemplary relief, and compensatory damages. On July 9, 2019, the district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit in its entirety without prejudice. On July 29, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which eliminated certain affiliated entities and individuals as defendants, withdrew the claims under the Securities Act, added claims under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"), and certain additional state law claims, and reasserted the remaining claims with modified allegations. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss, the plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their Investment Advisers Act claims, and on November 12, 2019, the district court granted defendants' motion to dismiss. The plaintiffs appealed the district court's dismissal of certain of their state law claims but did not appeal the dismissal of the remaining claims. On March 4, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's decision, holding the district court has jurisdiction over the state law claims that were the subject of the plaintiffs' appeal, and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on those claims. On April 19, 2021, defendants filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc, seeking a review of the Ninth Circuit panel's decision. Edward Jones and its affiliated entities and individuals deny the plaintiffs' allegations and intend to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit. Discrimination Class Action . On May 24, 2018, Edward Jones and JFC were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit ( ) filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by a former financial advisor under 42 U.S.C. § 1981, alleging that the defendants discriminated against the former financial advisor and other financial advisors and financial advisor trainees on the basis of race. On July 27, 2018, two named plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding allegations of discrimination and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 1981. Three named plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on November 26, 2018 and a third amended complaint on December 30, 2020. The plaintiffs sought equitable and injunctive relief, as well as compensatory and punitive damages. On May 4, 2021, the district court granted a motion plaintiffs filed on March 19, 2021 seeking preliminary approval of a settlement agreement reached by the parties. The court’s order authorizes administration of the settlement to begin. Reimbursement Class Action. On April 25, 2019, Edward Jones and JFC were named as defendants in a putative class action ( ) filed by two former financial advisors in the Superior Court of the State of California, Sacramento County. Plaintiffs allege that defendants did not reimburse financial advisors and financial advisor trainees in California for certain categories of business expenses, which plaintiffs allege violates the California Labor Code and California Unfair Competition Law. The lawsuit seeks damages and restitution as well as attorneys' fees and costs and equitable and injunctive relief. On February 19, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking the court's approval of a proposed class action settlement reached by the parties. On November 16, 2020, the court granted final approval of the settlement. Administration of the settlement is substantially complete. In addition to these matters, the Partnership provides for potential losses that may arise related to other contingencies. The Partnership assesses its liabilities and contingencies utilizing available information. The Partnership accrues for potential losses for those matters where it is probable that the Partnership will incur a potential loss to the extent that the amount of such potential loss can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 450, Contingencies For such matters where an accrued liability has not been established and the Partnership believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, as well as for matters where an accrued liability has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is both reasonably possible and estimable, the current estimated aggregated range of additional possible loss is up to $12 as of March 26, 2021. This range of reasonably possible loss does not necessarily represent the Partnership's maximum loss exposure as the Partnership was not able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for all matters. Further, the matters underlying any disclosed estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly. While the outcome of these matters is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, the Partnership believes that its established liabilities at March 26, 2021 are adequate, and the liabilities arising from such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership. However, based on future developments and the potential unfavorable resolution of these matters, the outcome could be material to the Partnership’s future consolidated operating results for a particular period or periods. |

The Partnership's Business and Basis of Accounting | The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership” or "JFC"). The financial position of the Partnership’s subsidiaries in Canada as of February 28, 2021 and November 30, 2020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the results for the three month periods ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 are included in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partnership Capital Subject to Mandatory Redemption, and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because of the timing of the Partnership’s financial reporting process. The Partnership’s principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”), is a registered broker-dealer and investment adviser in the United States (“U.S.”), and one of Edward Jones’ subsidiaries is a registered broker-dealer in Canada. Through these entities, the Partnership primarily serves individual investors in the U.S. and Canada.

The Partnership conducts business throughout the U.S. and Canada with its clients, various brokers, dealers, clearing organizations, depositories and banks.

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require the use of certain estimates by management in determining the Partnership’s assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of interim operations.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 26, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. |
