Our history

FMA Alliance, Ltd. (FMA), then Financial Management Associates, began as an idea between two guys having coffee, while scribbling a business idea on a napkin. They had no clients and no investors, just a barrel of grit, belief in their drive, and a desire to help people.

 

The best leaders lead by example. Jeff Spiegelhauer and Doyle Burkett started FMA in 1983, handling accounts for small, local doctors’ offices. Jeff and Doyle created a call center environment, talking to patients who were experiencing difficulties with their medical bills, developing a true understanding of their needs. They rapidly brought on more small clients and handled their own accounting, holding every position in the company, as they built FMA from its foundation. From the beginning, it was their primary goal to help the consumer.

Within a year, they signed on a major hospital for secondary bad debt collections, just to get their foot in the door. Next, they signed a Financial Services client and started helping bankcard holders with their credit-card debt. This started a ripple effect and other large banks, catalog order firms, and retail businesses soon came on board with FMA.

 

Today, FMA is a well-respected company with hundreds of clients across the United States. Though FMA has grown exponentially over the years, we have never lost our small company culture. From the call center floor to the board room table, FMA respects and cares for all its employees. Most of all, FMA cares about its clients, their customers, and the communities they serve. Since the beginning, FMA has focused on helping people, clients and consumers alike. And we continue to do that every day. Helping people is what we do. It is who we are. It is what makes FMA the company that cares.
