The Encore Financial Story

About Us

At an early age, Encore Financial Group principal and founder, Dennis Hesselink, learned the importance of hard work and the need for purposeful planning.  His father died young and left his mom with seven young children and a $5,000 life insurance plan. Not surprising, the years ahead were hard ones. Eventually Dennis was introduced to the life insurance business. Here he has stayed, all the while helping many client families to become financially independent and thrive. Read the full story behind why here.

With a deep-rooted passion for financial security, each Encore Financial Group representative partners with their clients and their families to plan and implement financially sound solutions and lifestyles. In fact, Encore’s values echo this passion and permeate our day-to-day business interactions:

  • Respect – For our clients, for our community and colleagues
  • Quality – For the top-level services and solutions we offer each of our clients
  • Teamwork  – For the environment and resources with which we sustainably build our client relationships and business

Getting Involved

Along with helping in local food kitchens and the like, we frequently participate in community programs to share important information about solutions like long-term health care, social security and life insurance. We believe it is important to talk about these things both in our offices as well as out in the community. Finally, our advisors work in the communities in which they live, making the ties to their work and community that much more meaningful and impactful. That’s why we created Encore For Gifting, a way to give back to what matters to our communities. Encore For Gifting is a program designed to benefit local charities nominated by our community members and chosen by a panel of Encore representatives, staff, and clients. Four times per calendar year, four different 501(c)(3) entities will be awarded $1,000.

Our Mission

At Encore Financial Group, we are dedicated to helping members of our community achieve and maintain financial independence. We do this via a holistic approach to reducing risk, offering asset preservation and growth opportunity strategies and potential growth opportunities for our clients who love their family and are serious about their money.
