Financial Services Specialist

When it comes to running a successful business, numbers matter — and few people know them better than Tom Reynaga, our Financial Services Specialist at the Seward County Development Corporation.


With more than 20 years of experience in banking, Tom has spent his career helping business owners understand, manage, and optimize their finances. Whether you’re launching a new venture or looking to strengthen an established company, Tom is here to guide you through the financial side of entrepreneurship.


Here’s how Tom can help:

  • Get Loan Ready: Tom knows what banks look for. He can work with you to prepare financial documents, projections, and plans that make your business a strong candidate for financing.


  • Cash-Flow Management: A healthy cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. Tom helps owners understand where their money is going and how to keep operations running smoothly.


  • Business Budgeting: From start-ups to established enterprises, Tom works with you to build a realistic budget that aligns with your goals and adapts to your changing needs.


“I’ve seen good ideas fall short because the financial foundation wasn’t there,” Tom explains. “My job is to make sure business owners have the tools, information, and confidence to move forward.”



With Tom’s deep understanding of both banking and business, local entrepreneurs have a trusted ally to navigate the numbers — and turn them into opportunities for growth.
