Tom Charbonneau, with four other associates, started Premium Financing Specialists (PFS) in Kansas City in 1977. Tom firmly believed that people do business with people. This was the guiding premise on which he launched the business all those years ago, and it is the guiding principle under which we operate today. Under Tom’s guidance, PFS grew to become the fourth largest premium financing company in the country. Tom’s dedication and pragmatic attitude not only shaped our company’s success, but made a lasting impression on everyone he met. In later years, PFS and Imperial Credit Corporation (ICC), two of the strongest premium finance brands in the market, merged to create IPFS.
