Alison is an extremely intelligent professional who really takes the time to educate her clients on…read morefinancial concepts. What stood out to me the most out of all the other financial planners I've talked to is her wholistic and comprehensive approach. She covers everything from cradle to grave, including assisting with will preparation. Her service is stellar and really catered to clients' needs. She goes above and beyond to make sure we are taken cared of. At first I thought I was set with my previous financial planner, but Alison educated me on a permanent tax sheltering retirement plan that I had no idea existed! I wish someone had told me earlier! I highly recommend Alison if you're in need of financial information and even a second opinion or review of your finn

I complaint their ad that put on the BNN Bloomberg which starts out "Calvin, meet your father"…read more The story of the ad has included the death of Calvin's mother that reminds me my darkest and deepest painful memory in my life when my mother passed away. It makes me stomach sick and very emotional every time I see it on the BNN everyday as this is my work channel. I asked Raymond James and BNN Bloomberg to remove this ad providing my reason, but they ignore me with no response. Now, I am wondering if they ignore my pain, they will ignore the same of your pain when they loss your money in their management. Raymond James seems has no emotional and no responsibility in someone's life saving.

They asked for two years' worth of bank transactions and then at the end they provided a link to make corrections with CRA yourself and after the discharge it turns out they never reported it to the creditors that you were discharged and here I am sitting waiting for my credit score to change. You're better off to do things yourself or find another company even with the least rating which I am sure will do a better job than them.
