The independently operated advisory firm survived the unprecedented pandemic years stronger, smarter, and more prepared as they celebrate 35 years in business
MARCH 2022. KENNESAW, Ga.— Gene Henssler, Ph.D., credits his company’s success to the firm’s talented and loyal employees and unveiled a logo to celebrate the momentous occasion.
“Henssler Financial is celebrating 35 years in business this year, and our success is in large part owed to the amazing employees who dedicate their time and passion to our clients,” said Dr. Henssler, Director of Henssler Financial. “We wanted to highlight the talented staff and loyal clients who kept us competitive and nimble throughout the years, so we are dedicating our 35th anniversary to the people who made our success possible.”
National Employee Appreciation Day is celebrated on the first Friday of March. On this day, Henssler Financial will kick off a year-long celebration and highlight that the company’s dedication to investing in others is the key to its success.
“We’re incredibly proud of the business we’ve grown together over the last 35 years,” said William G. Lako, Jr., CFP®, Principal and Managing Director of the firm. “I started with Dr. Gene when I was practically a kid, and in the decades since, we’ve been able to support our clients in all kinds of markets and expand with some really exciting services to fulfill our clients’ needs. I think it’s safe to say that we feel very lucky to be able to do the work we do, and to do it together.”
Dr. Henssler opened his door to clients in 1987 after gaining a following for his candid, financial talk radio show, “Money Talks,” on Atlanta’s AM airwaves. Listeners wanted “Dr. Gene,” as he was known, to provide financial consulting. As the business grew, Dr. Henssler hired an Administrative Assistant and several student interns to manage the workload.
As clients’ needs grew, Dr. Henssler’s staff quickly grew to 11, with several full-time employees added to provide services, which included money management, tax preparation and consulting, and a mutual fund. Now, 35 years later, Henssler Financial and its affiliates include more than 10 companies and boast more than 150 employees across more than five states.
“Henssler Financial is a firm that truly grew alongside the clients,” said Principal and Chief Operating Officer, Stacy Haubenschild. “Whenever a client had a need, Henssler looked to fulfill that need. The firm grew from just financial consulting to providing comprehensive wealth management. In my time, I’ve seen us grow to provide insurance services, small-business services, and mortgage services. Our clients trust us with nearly every aspect of their financial lives and continue to recommend us to their family, friends, and colleagues.”
“I could not be more proud of our employees and all that we accomplished. When the pandemic hit, and we all had to work remotely, I had no idea how we would pull this off,” said Dr. Henssler. “Everyone really came together to make things work. Our planners and tax consultants could focus on our clients’ needs because everyone from Operations to Information Technology to Marketing were prepared to pitch in and make sure we were there for the clients. All our communication channels were open. When the world shut down, we were still able to be there for our clients and our community. This is why I look forward to working with everyone each day and knowing this exceptional staff is taking care of our valued clients,” said Dr. Henssler as he reflected on the company’s 35 years in business.
