We recently had the opportunity to attend a vendor fair for one of our retirement plan clients. Events like these are a great reminder that our role extends beyond simply managing a 401(k) plan.

In addition to supporting the employer's retirement plan, these events give employees the opportunity to meet our team, learn about the financial planning resources available to them, and become familiar with the professionals they can turn to for guidance as their needs evolve.

We're proud to support financial wellness at both the organizational and individual level and grateful for the opportunity to serve as a trusted resource for our clients and their employees.

We try to meet every family where they are.

Sometimes that's a financial plan. Sometimes it's investments, insurance, or getting an estate in order. For business owners, it can be the business itself. For others, it's tax strategy or giving back to the causes they care about.

Seven services. One team.

Our employees, clients, and their families enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather at Sever's Fall Festival this weekend!

Thank you to our clients for spending part of your weekend with us and allowing us to be a small part of your family traditions.

This photo captures just a glimpse of the joy, excitement, and memories being made by the kids throughout the day.

We loved seeing so many smiling faces and sharing a wonderful afternoon together.

One of the stranger advantages of staying put is how much you end up knowing about a place.

We have been in this community for twenty-five years. Our kids went to school here. We shop here, we volunteer here, and we run into people we know constantly.

That is not a business strategy. It is just what happens when a firm decides to stay small and stay somewhere.

A quick one that surprises almost everybody.

The beneficiary named on your retirement account or your life insurance policy controls who inherits it. Your will does not override that.

If it has been a few years, or if anything in your life has changed, it takes about ten minutes to pull up your accounts and look.

Probably the highest return ten minutes in all of estate planning.

Two members of our team, Steph Wahlund and Steve Greavu, were honored to speak at the Northwestern Mutual Annual Meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week to an audience of more than 100 attendees on the topic of Scaling Your Practice.

As Director of People, Steph focused on identifying the right role to hire next, preserving company culture during periods of growth, and shared best practices for hiring, promoting, and developing employees.

Steve, our Director of Business Strategy & Practice Management, outlined the different advisor profiles we seek to hire and develop on our team. He also explored best practices for client service, including the services we provide and the cadence of client meetings.

Thank you, Steph and Steve, for representing Seleskie Financial, and thank you to Northwestern Mutual for the opportunity to share our insights and experiences.

Thank you to all our clients who attended our Young Professionals Night at the St. Paul Saints game yesterday! We kicked off the afternoon with a session tailored to folks ranging from 16 to 30 years old. The purpose was to share best practices for those first starting to save, starting their first job, starting a family, etc.

If you were not able to attend, keep an eye out for invitations like this in the future as we partner with the next generation to pursue their financial goals.
