“I take genuine pleasure in the work we do here at Deerfield.  We get to help manage  all the financial aspects of our clients’ lives without trying to sell them anything.  And because of the long-lasting nature of relationships we build with clients, we get the rewarding experience of watching them reach their goals and knowing we played a role in getting them there.”
