About Us

Peter Tallarico Jr.
Founder & President

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by the idea of transforming smart decisions into long-term financial growth. That passion led me into the financial industry in 2006 and ultimately to founding Blue Ridge Financial Services.

From day one, my mission has been clear: deliver exceptional service, operate with integrity, and provide clients with the highest level of guidance possible. Our approach sets us apart rooted in a fiercely independent mindset and supported by an extensive team of seasoned professionals allowing us to tailor strategies to each client’s unique goals.

I take pride in the work we do and in the impact it has on the lives of the families we serve. My wife, Kristen, and I were both born and raised in CNY, and together we’re raising our two children, Aiden and Gracelyn. I’m deeply committed to my family, my community, and this business and I look forward to bringing that same commitment to your financial future.

Bill Farrance
Chief Executive Officer

Having been in the financial services industry for over 25 years, I have seen some amazing bull markets but also some nerve-wracking bear markets.

The constant over that time has been my unwavering connection to my clients. Having grown up in a family run small business, I strive to bring the integrity, expertise, and service I've watched my parents deliver.

I help clients maneuver through the ups and downs of life with an unwavering promise to provide the highest level of service, advice and strategy during it all.

 My wife, Kristina, and I have enjoyed building our life in CNY and I take great pride in helping others do the same.
