Join the Seneca Regional Chamber Ambassadors as they host a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the construction of Tiell Financial Group’s new office at 6250 West Tiffin Street in Bascom this Wednesday, April 24 at 4 PM.


Founded more than 20 years ago, Tiell started as a modest operation with just two employees and a small office on the corner of State Route 18. Over the years, dedication to their clients and the local community has allowed Tiell Financial Group to flourish and expand, growing their team to include many exceptional members.


As part of their commitment to continued growth and service excellence, they have taken the opportunity to purchase the vacant lot left by the decommission and removal of St. Patrick Church. This strategic decision will pave the way for the construction of their new office.
