Testimonial from our Team Member, Mark Nohrenberg:

First a little background.  I started working with Pontem Financial in July 2019, after time working with other advisor teams.  I was geographically separated from the Team, living part of the year in Germany (military), which presents an obvious challenge.  But in addition, because of this, I was unable to even have contact with clients while I was overseas, leaving the Team at Pontem to handle my clients’ issues during these times.  Let me tell you, this Team is so professional and so with it, they never missed a beat.  I would travel back several times a year to conduct reviews with my clients.  I would send them my itinerary and a list of clients I needed to see…The Pontem Team would get me scheduled with my clients for that time.  Then as I completed my meetings I would send them tasks to get accomplished while I was once again away.  My business not only survived this time, it has grown by over 50%.  As I move back to the States I will once again be geographically separated from the Team, and while I won’t require their assistance due to my absence, I will no doubt benefit from their expertise in getting things done.  With proven methodology, clear division of responsibilities and true expert knowledge, the Team can get things done for you quickly, professionally and most importantly compliantly.  Betty and Chris have the knowledge and experience to guide the Team to new heights.   If you are looking for a Team to join, look no further!
