An experienced and committed team

With over 90 years of combined financial services experience, Tom, John, Julie, and Jana's long term relationships with clients are built on integrity, trust, accountability, and quality service. Over the years, they have found their clients to be a lot like themselves - people with Midwestern values who want to be good stewards for their families' wealth. After taking the time to learn what makes each client unique, their team will create personalized financial roadmaps to get each client where they want to go.

Family teams can be common in the financial advisory business, and the Vaudreuil's are no exception. Tom began his career in 1988, with his only son, John, joining him in 2012. After 7 years of working together, Tom's youngest daughter, Jana, joined the family business. Tom has created a multi generational financial advisory team, and with good reason.

As many of the seasoned advisors in the industry enter retirement age, their clients may have to seek out a new advisor. This can be tough on the client-planner relationship, as many clients want to ensure that their is consistency for not only themselves, but for their children, grandchildren, and other relatives as they age. Tom was well aware of this need early on in his career, and John and Jana were a natural fit for the role.

Many of their clients value the role the Vaudreuil's play in assisting financial planning for multiple generations. By having a succession plan, the Vaudreuil's can ensure a continuity of coverage for their clients and their relatives over the many years to come. While Tom will be retiring in the next few years, John and Jana have been involved in the business for many years already, working with the families that have grown to know and trust the Vaudreuil team.

While they work together in business, Tom, John, and Jana spend time together outside of work as well. They enjoy spending holidays at the family cabin in northern Wisconsin, as well as skiing and hiking in Colorado.
