Enlighten Financial, LLC, is celebrating 10 years in business this month, an important milestone for our Wisconsin-based firm. The company was founded in 2008 as a boutique risk management firm providing loan review, credit underwriting and analysis, and credit administration consulting services to community banks and credit unions.

“The goal from the beginning has been to help financial institutions be more efficient, make better loan decisions and meet regulatory expectations,” said Peter Nugent, founder and director of Enlighten Financial. “Our business is to help our clients be better for their clients.”

Enlighten Financial’s mission has always been to use their technical and industry expertise to provide independent credit management consulting, with the goal always being to improve the services their clients provide to their customers. Serving only community banks and credit unions, Enlighten Financial is uniquely positioned to help these financial institutions make better decisions, mitigate risk, ensure policy compliance, and ultimately improve their position in the marketplace.

“As a firm with an exceptionally strong team, we’re able to easily adapt and customize the services we provide to our client base,” Nugent said. “The combined expertise and experience of our team means each client benefits from an extensive skill set.”

“The staff at Enlighten have been available for questions, in addition to the engaged work that they do. They've been very helpful as a resource beyond the major audit.”
— Meghann Kasper, Chief Credit Officer, Bank First
“Enlighten gives us a very good second set of eyes on our transactions. They're not afraid to challenge us on some of the work that we've done, which is what is needed. I don't need to pay somebody to tell me I'm good, I need to pay somebody to tell me where I've made mistakes.”
— Robert McPherson, VP of Risk Management, Peoples State Bank
“Enlighten provided industry best practices that weren’t going to show up in an audit report. They would say, ‘Hey, I noticed you do this. This is really unique, you do a really great job of it.’ And then they might add, ‘Some other clients that I have are doing something like this.’”
— Bill Beardsley, President, Michigan Business Connection
“By questioning some of our methodologies, Enlighten has helped us say, ‘Okay, this is where we need to train staff better and focus on so that they understand what they're doing better.”
— Robert McPherson, VP of Risk Management, Peoples State Bank
“The organization of the communication — before, during, and after the reporting process — was certainly better with Enlighten than what I've experienced with a lot of auditors.”
— Bill Beardsley, President, Michigan Business Connection
