Tim Albertson

While practicing accounting for several years, Tim Albertson discovered the continuing need clients had for competent guidance and quality products in order for achieve their financial goals. Tim also had the great fortune of being exposed to the quality products and services of the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network as a client of Northwestern Mutual himself. He saw first hand the devotion Northwestern Mutual and the Financial Representatives of the Network have for their clients. Tim wanted to be part of that team.

Closing in on nearly two decades of service as a Northwestern Mutual Financial Network Representative, Tim continues to be impressed with the devotion Northwestern Mutual has for its clients and policyowners. Looking back on it now, he knows his decision to join the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network was the right one for his clients and himself.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
