Happy 30th anniversary, Juli!!!

30 years ago today, Juli began her career that goes on to impact so many livesโ€”and weโ€™re incredibly grateful to have been part of that journey.

Juli has built more than a career, she has built lasting relationships and lifelong friendships. What makes her so special isnโ€™t just her knowledge or experienceโ€”itโ€™s the genuine care she brings to every conversation and relationship.

Juli, thank you for the lasting impact youโ€™ve made on our clients, our team, and everyone fortunate enough to know you. Your kindness and commitment to helping others have created a legacy that extends far beyond the work itself.

Please help us in congratulating Juli on an amazing 30 years. Weโ€™re so proud to celebrate you and all youโ€™ve accomplished!

Did you know your child can become a victim of identity theft before theyโ€™re even old enough to drive? ๐Ÿšจ Criminals often target minors because their credit files can go unchecked for years. One of the best ways to protect your childโ€™s identity is to freeze their credit with the 3 major credit bureaus:
โ€ข Equifax
โ€ข Experian
โ€ข TransUnion

Most parents donโ€™t discover the problem until years later โ€” when their child applies for a student loan, apartment, or first credit card. Taking a few minutes now could save your family years of stress and financial headaches later. ๐Ÿ”’ Protect their future before someone else tries to use it.

A credit freeze helps prevent criminals from opening new accounts in your name! Be sure to freeze your credit with:
โ€ข Equifax
โ€ข Experian
โ€ข TransUnion
The process is FREE and can usually be completed online or by calling each credit bureau in just a few minutes.
A credit freeze does NOT affect:
โœ”๏ธ Your credit score
โœ”๏ธ Existing credit cards or loans
โœ”๏ธ Your ability to unfreeze temporarily when applying for credit
In todayโ€™s environment of constant data breaches and scams, this is one of the easiest proactive steps you can take to protect your financial future.

Happy to represent the financial services industry today at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for their annual high school career fair. Many students we met with admitted they did not exactly know how to break-into a career in business or finance. Today, our client concierge Daisy spoke with over 300 students on how to get started in such a career, and also discussed our current job shadowing and intership opportunies for students.

We will be closing early tomorrow, Friday, April 3, at 12:00 PM NOON, in observance of Good Friday.
