As NBC Securities enters its fourth decade, it carries on with the same purpose that shaped its earliest days: supporting financial advisors on their journey while serving clients with focus, discipline, and exceptional stewardship.
A Foundation That Still Guides Us
NBC Securities began in Birmingham, AL under the leadership of Frank Falkenburg, who believed advisors should have the independence to serve clients their way—with a firm they could trust standing behind them. This principle shaped our culture from the start. It influenced how we hire, how we make decisions, and how we support those who represent this firm. Over the years, leaders across the organization have carried that vision forward with consistent intention, helping build a foundation fit to navigate market cycles and industry change.
From independent financial advisors and in-house advisory teams who grow with our platform, to partner institutions and community banks seeking a trusted investment authority, NBC Securities is committed to protecting advisor autonomy while elevating the client experience through steady, high-conviction guidance.
Where We Stand Today
Three decades in, NBC Securities operates as a full-service broker-dealer and RIA with a national network of independent advisors and employee financial advisors and a comprehensive platform built entirely around the needs of both advisors and clients:
Core Capabilities
These capabilities form a cohesive structure designed to help advisors operate confidently and deliver meaningful solutions for those they serve.
How We Partner With Advisors
- An operating model built for autonomy and flexibility
- Direct access to experienced teams and firmwide resources
- Practice-specific guidance aligned to each advisor’s business
- A service framework that strengthens the advisor–client relationship
- A platform built to serve advisors across independent, in-house, and bank-affiliated models
Together, these elements help advisors build durable practices and give investors a consistent, well-coordinated experience across their financial lives.
A Commitment to Client Experience
Our financial professionals average more than 25 years of industry experience, and that depth of knowledge directly shapes how we serve high-net-worth and multi-generational families. We understand the importance of stability, clear communication, and practical guidance—qualities that matter as much as the investment strategy itself.
The trust clients place in our advisors has been earned over years of steady, relationship-driven work, and that trust remains one of the firm’s most important responsibilities.
Looking Ahead
As we look toward the next chapter, our priorities reflect the evolution of the firm and the opportunities ahead:
Our Focus for the Future
- Establish NBCS as the destination of choice for independently minded advisors by enhancing the operations platform, strengthening transition and succession support, and expanding resources that reinforce true practice independence.
- Broaden capabilities that elevate advisor autonomy and practice momentum through targeted investments in wealth solutions, streamlined technology build-out, and increasingly specialized expertise across client segments.
- Deepen our role in helping families and institutions shape lasting legacies with the implementation of advanced planning tools, refined portfolio capabilities, and authoritative insights that support multi-generational decision-making.
- Continue building a culture defined by accountability, shared expertise, and disciplined client stewardship through talent development, cross-firm collaboration, and consistent execution.
Thirty years into our journey, NBC Securities continues to grow because of a clear mission and the dedication of the advisors who carry it forward. The road ahead offers new opportunities, new relationships to build, new clients to serve, and new ways to help families and institutions plan for the future.
The next chapter will be guided by the same principles that have anchored us from the start: independence, partnership, and a long-view approach to serving clients with purpose.
