Jennifer is a Certified Financial Planner and has several years of experience helping families and individuals with their unique financial planning needs. Recognizing that those needs change over time, she believes that regular communication with her clients is essential. All life events, such as marriage, divorce, new careers, birth and death have an effect on your finances.

Emma Montgomery, CFP®, RIS

Financial Planner

Emma’s focus is developing strong relationships with clients and tailoring her services to their specific needs. Based on our firm’s investment principles, she recommends solutions that maintain diversity and are tax smart and cost-effective. She is also a Responsible Investment Specialist and can help clients incorporate competitive ethical investments into their portfolio.

Emma’s career at our firm started as part of the administrative team in the Spring of 2015. She has since acquired her Life, Accident, & Sickness insurance license and her mutual fund license. She obtained her Certified Financial Planner® designation in 2021.

Her next educational pursuit is obtaining her Certified Executor Advisor designation. With our ageing population, the likelihood of one of our clients taking on the role of an executor is very high. She hopes to further her skills to support those clients through the process.

After graduating from the University of Waterloo in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Development Studies, Emma spent two years teaching English on the Southeast coast of South Korea. When she’s not working, Emma enjoys spending time with friends and family, trying new recipes, and participating in online fitness classes.
