SENIOR FINANCIAL PLANNER, CFP®
Chris is a Senior Financial Planner and has one of the highest designations in the industry (FCSI® – Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute). Chris has been providing financial planning advice to Canadians for over 20 years. Chris' strength is his ability to simplify financial planning and provide clear and concise advice and plans that his clients understand and commit to. He breaks down your financial plan into a set of smaller, easier to implement plans focused on those specific goals that make up your short and long term objectives. "I focus on being a great communicator, maintaining quality of life goals, having measurable performance and being honest with 100% transparency on fees, etc." A strong believer in giving back to the community and staying active within it, Chris has worked with various children's foundations and has aligned with the Make a Wish Foundation of Canada. Anyone who has felt the confusion or worry of - Are we missing anything? - or concern over their financial advisor fully understanding their profession knows how valuable finding the right fit can be. If you are looking for an advisor who gets you and can convert ideas into concrete financial decisions, I would be a good fit for you. — Chris Ball, Certified Financial Planner "It makes it all worth while when a client says 'Thank you for your help with this, it's something we should have done years ago. We can now sleep better knowing this has been taken care of.' That never gets old." — Chris Ball

We believe that finding the right personal fit is mandatory for a productive relationship. We fit best with clients who prioritize the simple things in life, who value implementation and follow-up, and proactively communicate with me. You need an advisor to whom you can relate, an Advisor you trust and who understands your specific needs. The majority of our clients and experience comes from working with people in one of five career groups: MANAGERS & EXECUTIVES INCORPORATED PROFESSIONALS PHARMACISTS ENTREPRENEURS FARMERS The result is that over time we have gained valuable experience and understanding of the unique financial planning needs and opportunties of these groups. In our experience, the best approach to address the unique financial needs of these groups is a team approach.
