Over thirty years ago, Allworth was founded by two guys who shared one desk—and a big idea. Scott T. Hanson and Pat McClain, two brash, young financial advisors on the rise, worked at the same big-name firm, bonded over a shared passion for the work, and recognized a shared disregard for the status quo.
They believed investors deserved a clear alternative to the self-motivated, sales-focused advisory model offered by most other firms. So, in 1993, they set out on their own to found Hanson McClain Advisors—a fee-based fiduciary firm focused on doing right by their clients.
Today, Allworth continues to hold fast to the belief that when financial guidance is both comprehensive and personalized—and the firm’s success is aligned with clients’—they get more than just advice. They get a financial ally for life.
