"Working with individuals that share the same life mission is exhilarating. Identifying areas of risk and mapping out processes and training to address such areas of weakness, provides me a lot of personal fulfillment. The knowledge that as part of the Compliance team, I'm helping to protect the company's interests so that it can continue to fulfill its mission, is icing on the cake. Who wouldn’t be excited about that?"



"Working at Ronald Blue Trust allows me to fulfill my passion of helping people manage their finances according to biblical principles. Relationships with many clients have developed into deep friendships that move beyond financial discussions. Ronald Blue Trust cultivates and encourages this culture through the values and principles modeled by the great people in the company."



"As times become more challenging both economically and politically, I realize how critical it is to be part of an organization like ours, committed to its principles and staying the course in the face of significant headwinds and obstacles. This is a very rare quality for an organization, especially in the financial industry."
