Heather Wonderly Receives Five Star Wealth Managers Award
Five Star Professional has named Heather Wonderly, Senior Plan Consultant, as a recipient of the 2016 Five Star Wealth Managers award. This is the second consecutive year Heather has received this award.
Five Star Professional partnered with Portland Monthly to recognize exceptional wealth managers of the region. Client respondents evaluate wealth managers on nine criteria: customer service, integrity, knowledge/expertise, communication, value for fee charged, whether the wealth manager meets client financial objectives, post-sale service, quality of recommendations, and overall satisfaction. Peer respondents evaluate wealth managers based on three criteria: integrity, knowledge/expertise, overall reputation.
“Heather is highly dedicated to her clients and we are extremely proud to have her on our team,” said Scott Barchus, President. “Everyone at Aldrich congratulates her on this well-deserved accomplishment.”
