About Parallel Financial
Parallel Financial was co-founded by Anthony Mahfood and Brian Boughner in 2013. After experiencing the financial collapse of 2008 and seeing firsthand how the financial industry put their interests above their clients, Brian and Anthony decided to create an independent firm to ensure that their client's best interest would always be first and foremost.
A few years after experiencing success with this strategy, they realized they were not alone and that other advisors longed for a place where they could take serve their clients with the freedom and flexibility to offer true unbiased advice. They created Fiduciary Alliance to meet that need and help these advisors transition out of the difficult situation they are in and provide them a platform that will give them flexibility, allow them to scale, and most importantly grow their practice.
In 2024, Fiduciary Alliance (FA) has grown to a regional firm with $1.5 billion in assets, 1,921 clients, and 25 advisors. FA only works with clients who are growth minded and advisors who keep their client's best interest paramount.
