Financial Advisory

Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM) opened its first office in Philadelphia in 1975 with a staff of five. But even from this modest beginning, PFM had a distinct advantage over the competition: we understood the need to create a financial services firm exclusively for the benefit of government clients. PFM quickly developed a vision that still guides us today – a vision for generating client success that involves three key elements:

• Independence - Build a financial advisory firm beholden only to its government clients
  
  
• Expertise - Attract, train and retain a public finance team equal to that of any Wall Street investment bank
  
  
• Service - Offer comprehensive, cost-effective programs and provide consistent, high-caliber service.

Today, we are the nation's leading financial advisor to state and local municipalities.
