01 — Credentials

In Ontario, Financial Planner is now a title you can trust.

Title protection means one simple thing for you: the person across the table has real, proven expertise across your whole financial life.

Not long ago, anyone could call themselves a financial planner. That's changed. In Ontario, the title is now protected —  the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) determines who is allowed to use the term and only those who hold approved credential are allowed to use it.

For you, that's peace of mind. It means the person guiding you has the breadth and depth of knowledge to advise across every area of your core financial life, including:

  • Estate planning
  • Tax planning
  • Retirement planning
  • Investment planning
  • Finance management
  • Insurance & risk management

It's a standard Elias is glad to meet, and one he's chosen to build on with two further designations for the more specialized moments along the way.
