Northwestern Mutual - Chicago Growing Regional Footprint in Rosemont

With demand for financial planning services increasing, Thomas J. Canale, a Managing Director with Northwestern Mutual - Chicago, sees an opportunity to turn his passion into action. As a wealth management advisor for more than 24 years, he has experienced the ability to make a difference and have a tangible impact. That impact is far reaching for both clients and his team of professionals within The Canale Financial Group and the Northwestern Mutual-Chicago Rosemont district office he leads.

To better serve a growing base of clients and provide a career opportunity that offers a sense of purpose, he relocated to Rosemont. The new office at 9550 W. Higgins, Suite 450, provides additional space to add 10 financial professionals to the growing team in 2019.

"We made a conscious decision to invest in Rosemont because we believe it presents a unique opportunity to hire top talent to fuel our growth while being part of a dynamic business community," says Canale.

Canale tapped the region in 2004 when he opened a district office in the O'Hare area with six financial professionals. By remaining true to the values of integrity, growth, accountability and impact, under Canale's leadership, the district has grown to a team of 53 financial professionals.

"We believe our continued success is due to the experience and dedication of our multi-generational financial professionals, who set a standard for the highest level of professional expertise - - with the educational degrees and designations to prove it," said Canale.

Canale holds a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC®), Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC)® and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®) designations. His strong belief to develop the next generation of advisors working in the best interests of their clients drives him to be an instructor in the Certified Financial Planner™ Certificate Program at the Northwestern University School of Professional Studies.

He also cites the firm's dedication to providing extensive training and leadership development programs, mentoring opportunities, and the ability to achieve work-life balance as drivers to success.

The firm consistently is recognized as a great place to work by the Chicago Tribune and Crain's Chicago Business. Team members praise the passionate and accessible leadership team, work-life balance, strong camaraderie, and the ability to create something meaningful and lasting.

The firm is in recruitment mode for both the financial representative career opportunity and the college development programs, including a Top 10 internship program. Visit their website http://rosemont.nm.com/ to learn about career and internship opportunities
