I'd like to personally welcome you to our website. As Managing Director of Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network — Ottawa, I am proud of the work we do to help our clients realize their financial goals and dreams.

I believe that we offer a unique, high-quality and professional service. All of our 25 associates are independent financial advisors and we are able to offer you the widest range of products and services that suit your personal situation. We're not limited to one line of products, which creates an ideal situation for our clients — they get what is right for them every time.

We pride ourselves, not only in the outstanding service we provide, but also in the support we give each other. Many of our advisors have attained the CFP – Certified Financial Planner designation. Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network is committed to continuing education and professional development in order to be able to meet the changing needs of our clients. We will always adhere closely to the code of ethics outlined by ADVOCIS, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada and the Financial Planners Standards Council of Canada. We are committed to meeting the standards set out by provincial securities associations, insurance regulations, and provincial and federal legislation applicable to financial institutions.

We want to make your experience with our financial advisors pleasant and informative. You may come in with many questions and feel that the task of planning your financial future is overwhelming — but we want you to leave our offices with your questions answered and the confidence that you're well on your way to securing a healthy financial future for you and your family.

If you have any questions or would like to speak to a financial professional, please feel free to contact me personally and I will put you in touch with one of our planners.
