About Investment Advisor Bev Moir
With over 16 years as an investment advisor and financial planner, I am committed to helping our clients achieve their financial goals. Many of our clients are successful female business owners, executives and professionals who are approaching retirement. We love what we do, which is providing expert advice and pro-active strategies to ensure our clients grow and protect their retirement savings so they can enjoy the retirement lifestyle they desire.
We work with our clients to establish a thorough understanding of their life situation and goals. Then, using a financial planning approach, we develop and execute strategies to ensure our clients will achieve their financial goals. We monitor and update the Financial Plan as circumstances change and life goals evolve. We specialize in retirement planning: our clients have a written plan to help them get to and through retirement in the manner they desire.
My team has grown to include Mark Hale, Ingrid Sojka, Emily Chiu, and specialists in other financial areas. These include our Scotiabank Group team of experts such as Scotia Advisory Services, private and professional banking, estate planning, trust services, philanthropic advisory, insurance services, and other external professionals we work with including lawyers, accountants and bookkeepers. We draw upon this team of specialists to provide our clients with professional expertise and personalized solutions.
To our valued clients, we thank you for your ongoing support and loyalty. Our business has grown through referrals and we strive hard to earn the privilege of helping your family and friends. Our relationship with you is cherished and, on behalf of the team, I look forward to celebrating many future successes with you.
