We hold each other accountable and we support one another as we build our business by providing exceptional advice and service to our clients.
- Earn The Right to Speak Into People's Lives: The Verdi Group is comitted to serving in the communities where we do business. We have handed out over $20,000 in grant money in local area school districts through Voya Financial's Unsung Heros program and we commit to spending time each year teaching students about finance and investing. We want to serve our clients and our community and be a resource that gives more that we take.
