Introducing Sawyers & Jacobs LLC
Springtime brings with it new beginnings. Baseball season is underway, school will be out soon, and summer is just around the corner. This is a great time of the year to start anew and chart new courses.
In this spirit, we are proud to announce the formation of Sawyers & Jacobs LLC, a consulting firm focused on serving financial institutions. Our mission is to help our clients use technology securely, effectively, and profitably to better serve their customers, comply with laws and regulations, contain costs, and compete. Ours will be a conservatively-managed firm dedicated to providing client-driven services in a responsive manner.
Over the years we have learned that consulting clients do business with people, not just the name on the letterhead. To that end, we have formed a strong team of competent consultants with the highest integrity and ethics, dedicated to client services, and with a strong desire for continuous learning and self-improvement. These attributes allow us to help our clients solve complex problems, gain peace of mind, and meet regulatory requirements.
We invite you to meet the members of our new team and review the consulting services we offer. Our new firm is standing by to serve you.
To our past clients and business partners, we appreciate your confidence and support over the years. To our new clients and renewals of past relationships, we are grateful for your continued trust and we look forward to serving you in the future.
Sincerely, Sincerely,
 
Jimmy Sawyers Joshua Jacobs
Partner Partner
