Brenda’s role at Oostburg Financial Services has definitely expanded since she first came on board in September of 2007.  As our practice has grown Brenda’s direct involvement with our clients has grown as well.  In 2012 Brenda’s title was changed to Client Service Specialist which best describes what she does on a daily basis.  Brenda works directly with Steve and our clients and keeps herself aware of each step in the planning and implementation process.  She spends her time communicating by phone and in person with clients receiving their checks, filling out paperwork, or thoroughly researching and resolving potential problems that may arise.  Brenda has a long employment history of customer service and working directly with people, and always conducts herself with professionalism coupled with a genuine warmth and smile.
