Bob, now the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at Novem Group, nominates Patrick Manuel to fill the role of President. Hired from a successful sales leadership position in 2014, Pat's integrity, work ethic, and vision support the growth of Novem Group and will continue shape the firm for years to come.

Novem Group expands, opening a satellite office in Jupiter, Florida.  Although already available to clients nationwide digitally, this new office allows for in-person consultations with Florida clients.

Bob takes the investment side of the business to the next level and launches his own RIA (Registered Investment Advisor firm), APFS Wealth Management, Inc. DBA Novem Group. The firm would later simply become "Novem Group."

Charlie Herendeen leaves a long tenure with a national retirement and benefits consulting & administration company to join Novem Group as Managing Director of Retirement Plan Services. Under Charlie's leadership, the retirement division sees unprecedented growth.

American Portfolios Financial Services, of which Bob was a founding member, officially launches as a broker-dealer.  This new designation allowed Advisors to continue putting the Client first, without being captive to any specific investment company.

Novem Group was founded by Robert Bartolotta in Rochester, NY to offer financial and insurance planning to individual clients. The company quickly expanded to include employee benefits, allowing individual clients to bring their business needs to the firm.
