JCE Financial Group

"Local Network.
Expert Guidance ."

Strengthening Our Community, Person to Person.
JCE Financial Group is led by John C. Ertz, Managing Partner, and has offices in Cleveland, Akron and Canton. John Ertz knows firsthand how the Northwestern Mutual Financial Network helps individuals create a stronger financial future, through top-quality financial products, services and expertise. He also leads our Financial Representatives in creating a stronger community future, through activities that support and improve the place where we live and work.

Whether we’re working on behalf of a single client or our entire community, JCE Financial Group believes in the power of one-on-one communication. As John Ertz says, “We emphasize our ability to listen, to recognize a need and to meet that need. Those skills help us make a difference for our clients—and our neighbors.”

Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, JCE Financial Group is actively involved in the Northeast Ohio community through sponsoring events for the Northeast Ohio Affiliate of Komen for the Cure. These events include The Survivor's Celebration, Kids for the Cure, Tour for the Cure, and The Race for the Cure. On September 15th, 2007 JCE Financial Group sponsored Miles of Men, a campaign targeted toward men as co-survivors which offered an opportunity for men to show their support through Komen’s largest single fundraising event, The Race for the Cure.

In addition to our commitment to Komen in Northeast Ohio we are also involved with Cornerstone of Hope, a charitable organization dedicated to providing support, education and hope to grieving individuals. In 2007 we have made an annual commitment and joined the Circle of Hope, meaning our sponsorship dollars support all of the events and workshops this year. Please visit our Community Service page to view the details of events we have sponsored and upcoming events and campaigns.
