We trust you had a delightful holiday season and are smoothly transitioning into the New Year! We’re thrilled to share some updates with you that aim to enhance our service delivery on your behalf.
Firstly, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support in referring new clients, entrusting us with your business, and reaching out whenever you require service. We had a remarkable year in 2023, welcoming ten new clients and fulfilling hundreds of service requests. To accommodate this growth, we’ve expanded our team, details of which we’ll share below. We’d like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our new clients and express our sincere appreciation for your business.
Rohan Rashid
Many of you are already acquainted with Rohan, who has been our dedicated client service specialist for over two years. We’re delighted to announce that Rohan, having passed all his licensure exams, will transition into an advisor role effective this January. He will assist me in catering to your financial planning and investment management needs. Rest assured, any meeting assigned to Rohan will have been discussed with me, particularly regarding recommended investment changes or planning considerations on your behalf.
Fendy Andujar
Many of you have already interacted with Fendy. She joined us in late August and will be assuming Rohan’s responsibilities as client service manager and executive assistant. Fendy has proven to be a quick learner and will be available to address all our client service requests.
Please utilize our office phone or email for service requests and account inquiries. This ensures prompt attention to your inquiry as the email will reach all of us. For compliance reasons, we kindly request you refrain from texting me about service requests or account inquiries; we prefer communication via email or phone.
