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.

Staff repeatedly provided incorrect information and failed to answer questions. I can't imagine what it would be like dealing with them if it was anything complicated. Agree with other 1 star reviewers -- they're nice when you're buying but not great on the other end. Wendy McCracken below says I have already spoken to other staff. Yes I have, but no-one answered these questions: 1. Why was I repeatedly asked to fill out a proof of loss form, then suddenly didn't have to? 2. I understand other factors go into premium changes. I asked to know how my premiums would be affected by one factor only -- me accepting the amount I'm entitled to for the insurance deductible. That amount is ALREADY SET and won't change when the claim is finalized. So why can't it be calculated before a claim is made? 3. Why did Rahat say the insulation we ADDED (via special levy) we was just "repairs"? If your staff can't correctly interpret basic documents, I'm not confident you could manage a more complicated claim. I'm happy to change my review if these items are addressed. Thanks!
