As of this month, ECS Financial Services has been a member of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association for 25 years.

Founded in 1962, ECS Financial Services started as a traditional accounting firm. Today, the firm has expanded into a full-service accounting firm, providing services from portfolio management to accounting and tax services.

As a member of the ELFA, ECS Financial Services joins forces with other companies in the equipment finance sector to drive growth in the commercial equipment finance market and contribute to capital formation across the United States.

The ELFA’s 575 company members include independent and captive equipment leasing and finance companies, banks, financial services corporations, broker/packagers and investment banks, as well as manufacturers and service providers. The ELFA exists to provide member companies a platform to promote and advocate for the equipment finance industry, including through the development of new and diverse talent, a forum for professional development and training, and a resource that develops information about and for the industry.

“Since its founding in 1961, ELFA has united the equipment finance industry under one umbrella to learn, do business and advocate for equipment finance and its important role in the U.S. economy,” Ralph Petta, president and CEO of the ELFA, said. “Over the years, member companies have evolved and innovated to meet changing customer needs. This speaks to the strength and resilience of our industry, as it equips American businesses to succeed and prosper. We congratulate all the companies celebrating milestone membership anniversaries in 2022.”

“It’s hard to believe 25 years have passed since we joined ELFA,” Shari Lipski, principal of ECS Financial Services, said. “Being a member of the association has proven to be one of the best investments we’ve made to develop client relationships, access unparalleled resources, provide great networking and educational opportunities for our employees, and create lifeline friendships along the way. Everyone here at ECS looks forward to the next 25 years.”
