Ellen Bylsma

Owner and Financial Advisor

Ellen is a 1994 graduate of Wake Forest University and continues to be a loyal “Deac”! She began her career in the financial services industry after having taught English in China in the mid-1990s. Her first position in the industry was in a large insurance company where she had the opportunity to manage a training and development program for insurance professionals. Teaching and making an impact through the ideas and advice she provides clients is what she is passionate about in her career. Building long-term relationships with clients and helping them move forward on their financial path is what drives her and her team every day. As the leader of the practice, her commitment to creating and showing opportunities for team member growth is also a fulfilling responsibility for her.
