Business Advisory Board
To continue our success as a financial services practice, we continually look for ways to make Jones Financial Group the best it can be.
We believe that our focus on the quality of our business processes and services requires input beyond our four walls. That has led us to create a Business Advisory Board made up of clients and key professional contacts who provide non-binding, but informative guidance on a variety of business topics. Board members help us by sharing valuable insights from their client experience and their knowledge about relevant areas of business and marketing. Each Business Advisory Board member is invited to serve a two-year term.
