Video: Join Alyssa. Become a partnered advisor.

I became a financial advisor in 2020. I was attracted by the opportunity to help people. I’m able to provide unbiased recommendations and services tailored to my clients’ needs.

From day one, I received ongoing support from my financial centre, my sales manager and the network. My practice is always evolving for the better and being part of the network expands my service offering. I’m at a place where I can help my clients and their families achieve financial security.

I also feel the flexibility that this career affords me will come in handy when I’m ready to start my own family. As an independent financial advisor, I’m very happy with where I am. I’ve found my purpose here.

  • Households that have an advisor have 2.1 times more financial assets than households that don't2.
  • Investors that have an advisor are more confident and more likely to have a comfortable retirement if they've received financial advice for at least 10 years3.
