Firm: Truly independent Canadian wealth firm with full support platform
If you’re a Canadian bank / credit union advisor who:
Is capped on compensation no matter how much you produce
Feels constant pressure to “sell the shelf” instead of give advice
Is limited by product shelves, grids, and internal politics
Wants to actually own client relationships and your long‑term book
…but you’re hesitant to walk away from a stable salary, this is for you.

Stability while you go independent
Market-market-competitive salary ($80k–$95k)
Clear path to materially higher payouts than the bank channel
Ability to build true equity in your practice over time
Freedom to actually act in clients’ best interests
Open‑architecture investment platform (no product quotas)
Potential to lower all‑in client fees and improve outcomes
Freedom to use modern planning tools and CRM within our platform
You are not doing this alone
Partner with a proven Senior Advisor in our independent firm
Get mentorship, brand, operations, compliance and admin support

This is a supported partnership, not a solo leap into the unknown.
What You’ll Do
Transition suitable client relationships and pipeline compliantly
Co‑lead planning and review meetings with a Senior Advisor
Deliver planning‑led, product‑agnostic advice to households
Grow your book with our marketing and service team behind you
Build an asset you control instead of just collecting a paycheque
Who This Is For
3+ years as a bank / credit union / branch‑based advisor in Canada
Licensed to sell investments (CIRO‑registered; MFDA)
Insurance / life‑licensed is a solid plus but not required
Comfortable with financial planning software (any major platform)
You like your clients, but not the constraints of your current platform
You want upside, ownership, and autonomy without blowing up your lifestyle
