3 Best Financial Services in Ottawa, ON

I have worked with Angela Houle for over 25 years. We started retirement discussions early - my wish was to retire by 57 however I didn’t think that would truly happen. When I turned 50, Angela and I met to see if this was possible. At this time, it looked like it would have been touch and go to retire the way I wanted to. We met annually to review this goal. At 55, I submitted my resignation to my workplace of 28+ years!! I was able to leave full time employment TWO YEARS earlier than planned. To keep myself engaged I started consulting on a part time basis. This month, at our annual ‘retirement review’ meeting Angela opened up the meeting with the question - “Are you having fun consulting. Because I am here to tell you you do not need to work at all anymore - go do all your fun stuff!!!” While I knew this intuitively, the sense of freedom and joy to hear this coming from your financial advisor- and seeing the numbers proving it - is beyond measure! If you think it’s not possible, I can tell you Angela works extremely hard helping you reach your goals. I would recommend McAuley Financial Services for numerous reasons- this is one of them.

I have had the good fortune to have Jack & McAuley Financial as my advisor for over 30 years. Having Jack represent you not only do you get informed, experienced guidance but you are dealt with in a personal and caring manner not often offered in today's fast paced you're a number world. Over those years I have benefited from Jack's counsel but most recently I have been extremely impressed with the time and effort bringing about security, clarity and confidence while assisting my 92 year old mother with all her financial affairs. Always making appointments easy, dropping by her home or spending time and effort to provide her with peace of mind. I recommend Jack to my family, friends and colleagues and to anyone who wants calm, attentive and experienced guidance. If you're looking for personalized service with integrity and knowledge where the philosophy of the client comes first is more than just a slogan, then you would be well advised to put your financial future in Jack's and McAuley Financials care.

have been leveraging Jack McAuley's insurance knowledge and experience since I was 25 years old. I am now 61 and still seek his advice. Before it was for planning disability and life insurance for myself and my family. Now it is for retirement planning. Jack and his team are extremely well versed in insurance and financial planning. I recommend McAuley Financial to my friends and relatives.

Was with a financial advisor for a number of years before sitting down to meet Gabriel for the first time.
