What We Do, And Why We Do It
How It All Began
The four of us worked together at a national firm for a number of years. We enjoyed the security and support that being part of a large, national firm offered. However, as time went on, significant changes were taking place behind the scenes. We noticed that we weren’t getting the same support we once were. Over the years, and as times changed we felt we were no longer being seen as people, but more so as numbers in their corporate system. We spoke at length with each other and we all agreed; if we felt like that as advisors, how long would it be until our clients possibly started to feel this way as well? So, we set out on a quest to find a new home for our unique firm. We had some criteria that we all agreed must be met:
- we needed to find a brokerage that could support us in a meaningful way so we could focus on taking care of our clients
- our new brokerage needed to be able to offer the security of a larger firm but with the attention to detail that happy clients (and we) expect
- our new home would need to offer all the tools we need to employ the best strategies and solutions to our clients – we needed to produce the best financial plans for our clients and could not allow there to be any limitations at a ‘head office level’
- we needed to have access to the best in-class investment and insurance products to be able to deliver great results to our clients and meet or exceed expectations
- we needed to be able to do this all for a fair price to our clients
So, after interviewing with 7 different firms we had made our decision! We were very excited to partner with Investia (member of iA Financial Group) for our Investments platform. And we were also very excited to partner with Qualified Financial Services (QFS) for our Insurance platform.
Investia is a Canadian Investment firm with national coverage from coast to coast; so we know we can take care of our clients wherever their journey’s take them! Investia & iA Financial Group are also a major player in the Canadian Investment landscape with over $200 billion in AUM with 7,700 employees & 25,000 representatives.
QFS is the largest Canadian independent (family owned & operated by the way) MGA brokerage! Their mantra is ‘Feel like Family’, and they have built their business around this mantra. Their business model is to provide the best support and environment for growth for their advisors, and we are thankful for their heartfelt commitment to these values!
So as of June 2021, Clarity Private Wealth Solutions was born – and we haven’t looked back! By Partnering with Investia & QFS we are able to provide the security of the big institutions with the personal care of a boutique firm. We proudly run a Client Focused firm.

Coming from a Business Development background I understand the importance of laying out expectations and then delivering on them. Although there tends to be shared milestones across our society, everyone has their unique journey with their personal thoughts and values. I am always working hard to have a deeper understanding of our clients so we may be able to provide the clarity and confidence they need to know they have addressed any vulnerabilities in their financial plan while taking advantage of opportunities as well!

As the CPWS Insurance Specialist I cherish the meaningful conversations I have with our clients! I understand how hard our clients work to get their ducks in a row with their financial matters, and how important it is that we help them protect what they have worked so hard for! I absolutely appreciate the intricacies of putting the pieces together for their overall plan, and I am always excited to help integrate various aspects of the insurance world to help bring our clients the clarity they are looking for.
