What Clients Are Saying

Suzanne and her trusted team at Simplified Financial have the knowledge, expertise, and show genuine care in the services they provide. A true pleasure to work with!

I was guided step by step for my insurance needs and received down to earth, honest advice from Suzanne. She makes it easy to meet during house visits and always takes care of the details, making the process very comfortable. Sometimes these important issues aren’t easy to think about or discuss; having her there to explain the process and my options made the conversation much easier.

Thank you for all your assistance.

What Clients Are Saying

As a long term client, I have been with Simplified Financial (Suzanne) for the past 20 years. It would be hard to fit into a paragraph the amazing support and direction that I have received and continue to receive. No matter when I called for updates, changes in my portfolio, overall direction, Suzanne always made the time, in my best interest , to ensure that my investments were well look after. Upon my retirement, it is comforting to know that Suzanne and her staff are there providing excellent service..

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Suzanne and her team both on a professional level (with Group Benefits at work) as well as with my personal matters. I have had nothing short of perfect experiences every time - always quick to answer questions, always eager to help, and always very knowledgeable. Unlike some I've dealt with in the past, I have never once felt like I was being "sold" something that I didn't need. Everything has always been explained in a way that makes sense, and without pressure. Fabulous team!

We are grateful that they are able to work with and help take care of our family by making sure we have the appropriate insurance coverage in place and investment guarantees that fit our retirement goals.

A couple of years ago I asked Suzanne for some advise on a long term investment. It was not a great deal of money just slightly over $10,000.00. She took the time to visit with me and made a number of recommendations which proved more beneficial to myself and family. We have since transferred a very high percentage of our RRSP funds to Simplified Financial Inc. The whole process was painless, completely stress free and a very pleasant buying experience. My only regret, I didn't start working with Suzanne twenty years ago.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. We have always have had the right insurance package, and advise from them. They go out of their way to ensure you get what is right for you and / or your business. Have used them for 8+ years now and would highly recommend to anyone. Very prompt with replies, whether it is phone calls or email messages. Simplified Financial and the staff are great!
