Our Story
FFEC was founded in 1985 in Scottsdale, Arizona. In 2006, we expanded by opening offices in Denver, Colorado and Dallas, Texas. Two years later, we expanded further north and opened our Billings, Montana location. In 2016, the founder of FFEC retired and two team members stepped into Senior Management as new owners. By 2021, our team had expanded to over 100 financial advisors in 15 states across the US.
We’re grateful to have expanded over the years, serving even more clients with the independent perspective they deserve.
