“I like the collaborative environment at Ascent, allowing the team to grow and mutually learn from each other. In working with the Lending Team to create a new offering, it was very fulfilling for our team to see a project through from start to finish! Along the way, we encountered various challenges but it only drove us to adapt in order to continue helping our clients.”
