Headquartered in Pasadena, California, First Financial Consulting has been an independent, fee-only fiduciary serving high-net-worth individuals, families and business owners since 1975. The firm has built its reputation on long-term client relationships and a commitment to 100% objective financial advice. That relationship-driven approach helped drive 54% three-year revenue growth, placing First Financial Consulting among a small group of independent advisory firms nationwide to earn a spot on this year’s list.
“Our clients have placed their trust in us for decades, and that trust is what drives everything we do,” said Greg Welborn, Principal at First Financial Consulting. “We’ve built this firm one relationship at a time, and our continued growth has allowed us to increase our local team by 27% and stay active in our community through our support of Door of Hope, Maranatha High School, the Los Angeles Chapter of the Boy Scouts of America, the Pasadena Salvation Army, and Vintage Church, where one or more of our team members have served on boards and volunteered. Being named to the Inc. 5000 is a testament to our dedicated team and an opportunity to have them be recognized on a national stage.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
