Jeane strictly believes that ongoing education is an integral part of a person’s growth and development as a professional in their field of expertise.

Working Experience

While being a loan originator at Homefinity (2006-2009),

Jeane’s core goal was helping people with their homeownership goals. She has been working there for three years and has been taught to think outside the box to make sure each client gets the right home finance solution for their unique profile and goals.

At American Consumer Credit Counseling (2009-2011),

Jeane created and offered debt management plans in order to help people become debt-free by reducing interest rates and monthly payments on their existing loans. The plans she created were aimed at showing clients smart ways to fully repay their debts within three to five years. While being a counselor, she understood the most common mistakes Americans made when it came to borrowing money.

As a part of Wisconsin Bank & Trust (2012-2013),

Jeane directed and managed a staff of accountants, analysts, and managers in the performance of multiple complex financial analysis and reporting activities. She also provided leadership in the development, design, implementation, and ongoing management of assigned financial analysis processes and identified potential new business strategies and ideas. Jeane took this position for more than two years.

During one and a half years at Principal Financial Group (2013-2014),

she analyzed financial information obtained from clients to determine strategies, financial products and services to help clients meet their financial objectives. Additionally, Jeane built and maintained a client base, kept client plans up-to-date, and acquired new clients on an ongoing basis.

While being a Chief Executive Officer at MEMBERS1ST Community Credit Union (2015-2018),

Jeane was an inspiring leader who guided her 255 management team and staff to the next level of growth and success. Jeane created a healthy environment in which all employees and members can openly discuss suggestions or concerns. Thanks to her multitasking, she handled multiple projects and met changing deadlines.

Achievements and Career Goals 

After nearly 12 years of working experience in Finance, Jeane formed a vision of what customers’ expectations look like and created practical ways to meet them. In 2019, she joined ASCIN Payday Loans, clearly formulated business goals, and started implementing her vision in order to reach them. Thanks to her efforts, the company was able to reach a new level and increase revenue by over 280% in as little as four years.

Speaking about the future, Jeane wants ASCIN Payday Loans to become a one-stop shop for needy people and assist them in reaching their financial goals.
