We Built This Firm for the People the Financial Industry Often Overlooks

Our founder, Paul Bufty, grew up in Northeast Philadelphia — the son of Depression-era parents who worked hard, saved what they could, and just wanted a little financial security. His dad was a home repairman. His mom was a bookkeeper. They were good people, but nobody in the financial industry ever called on them — because of how they were perceived financially.

When Paul entered the financial services business, he saw the same thing happening to families across Philadelphia. People who built this city — police officers, truck drivers, nurses, electricians — were being ignored or talked down to. That’s when he decided to build something different.
