BCA
Financial Services Celebrates 75th Anniversary
BCA Financial Services Inc. (BCA),
reached an exciting milestone as the company celebrates 75 years in business in
2019.
Bureau of
Credit Administration (later renamed BCA Financial Services Inc.) was founded
in 1944 and purchased by William Hearne Sr. in October 1950. In the 1960s,
Hearne’s son, William (Bill) Hearne Jr. put his mark, and name, on the business
by becoming the next owner. In 1997, ownership was transferred to the current
leadership team: Pam Kirchner, CEO, and third-generation owners Kathy Kinggard, chief operating officer, and Cindy Darley, chief
financial officer.
BCA is a
company rich in history and family values. BCA’s founding fathers, respected
industry leaders, laid a foundation for a sustainable business based on a firm
set of principles and values. They believed in fair, honest and ethical
business practices and as a result, what started out as a small firm with four
or five staff members grew into a company that provides valuable services and
employs nearly 200 people.
“There are
a variety of factors that contribute to our success, including long-term
dedicated staff members with a solid work ethic, always doing what is right
especially when no one is watching, and our dedication to delivering an
exceptional customer experience,” Kirchner said.
Today, BCA
has a growing client roster, two office locations and a bright future ahead.
“We have
learned from our errors and celebrated our successes,” Kirchner said.
“Embracing change, having the courage to meet challenges, and trusting our
instincts have been essential to our longevity.”
