Steve answered our questions, developed a plan, and now we are feeling far less stressed about our financial future. We felt like our plan was individualized and directed toward our goals. The process was worth the investment! We highly recommend him for younger people starting out, mid-career, and nearing retirement! I have already referred him to family and colleagues.

I found Money Coaches Canada and Steve in particular when researching the difference between a…read morefinancial adviser, financial planner and a financial coach. I was at a place in my life where I really wanting to take charge of my finances; however my bad habits and thoughts around spending and saving money were acting as huge hurtle. Because of these bad habits my savings were non-existent, my credit cards were maxed out and I was in no place to invest so naturally a money coach fit. After speaking with Steve on the phone my wife and I decided to meet with Steve for a FREE consultation. Steve is very knowledgeable and personable and seemed like a great fit to work with. I'm not going to lie; at first I was very skeptical and hesitant to commit to a program with Steve as I was barely getting by and thoughts of paying someone to tell me how to save/spend my money seemed foreign. Steve told us not to worry that we wouldn't even notice his fees in the long run.(Yeah right!) Well I pleasantly surprised by this experience! Not only did we not notice his fees but he actually helped us to get on track. Within 6 months of working with Steve our lives have changed so much for the better. The stress we use to feel in regards to finances has been lifted greatly. We are on track to pay off all of our debt in a record amount of time, AND we actually have savings building up monthly. In 5 months of working with Steve we were able to pay off over $12,000 in debt - YES you read that right 12K! He is not by any means a magician that just makes money appear and fixes your finances; you have to want to make changes for the better. Much like losing weight; you can't just do it for a bit and hope for the best; you need to be prepared to change your life style and habits and commit to the program. My wife and I both agree that working with Steve was the best decision we made in 2017 and we are looking forward to walking the path that Steve has help to create. Debt Freedom is on now on the horizon were I have never seen it before. Give him a call and see what he can do for you!

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

He made reference to health plan charts, which he had forgotten to send prior to the meeting as preliminary reference for my options. Still, we went through the usual exploration questionnaire, through which he also took the opportunity to pitch other businesses I wasn't interested in. I had taken an hour of work for Health & Dental insurance. When the meeting ended, Laurent Munier had explained that: 1. He would send the health plan charts he'd to forgotten to send prior to meeting 2. He would send a personalized health plan according to what he had learned in the interview/meeting. 3. He would send a follow-up e-mail, as customary, with details for our next meeting. None of that happened. Still, I took the first step to send a follow-up e-mail the next day because the whole point of the meeting is of importance to me(health). No response. No one should have to chase someone around for service. Meeting with Laurent Munier was a waste of my time.
