Financial Planner
How does the role impact the organization?
If you love helping people make sense of their money (without selling them stuff they don’t need), this might be your role.
We’re looking for a Financial Planner who thrives on building thoughtful, goals-based financial plans for an existing client base. You’ll work closely with our Financial Advisors to help clients plan for retirement, optimize taxes, and make confident long-term decisions — no prospecting required.
As part of our wealth management team, you’ll deliver end‑to‑end financial planning and collaborate with specialists in tax, insurance, estate, trust, and investments. At the end of the day, it’s simple: we take great care of our clients — and each other.

Lead discovery conversations (you’re naturally curious and a great listener)

-
Present plans in a way clients actually understand and feel confident about
-
Provide ongoing updates as clients’ lives (and goals) evolve
Integrated Wealth Management
-
Bring together tax, retirement, investment, estate, cash management, and insurance planning
-
Identify smart opportunities around CPP/OAS, RRIF conversions, tax efficiency, and corporate planning
-
Collaborate closely with internal specialists across tax, insurance, trust, estate, and philanthropy
-
Help coordinate follow‑ups so advice turns into action
Relationships & Business Growth
-
Build trusted, long‑term relationships with clients and Financial Advisors
-
Champion the value of financial planning across the branch
-
Spot opportunities to deepen relationships and support organic business growth
-

Stay current on planning trends, tax changes, and regulatory updates
-
Be the go‑to planning resource within the branch
-
Participate in client events, workshops, and education sessions (when needed)
-
Contribute to a collaborative, supportive, and continuously improving team
