I was especially drawn to them, as they both were involved in their community, their generosity in giving back to their community, their ability to provide information and sensitive awareness to the changing dynamic landscape that we are all victims of.\nI had prior experience with a Financial Advisor who was aligned with my financial institute, a bank that I had been a loyal customer to for over 20 years. My experience had left me somewhat underwhelmed. I was perpetually reaching out to them to discuss financial planning and to receive updates. There was little to no engagement or custom planning to meet my needs, nor help with the longer term aspect of retirement preparation.\n<br><br>\nAsking Zoe to take me on as a client was a very simple step, one that has made a significant difference to my quality of life. Although the market, economy and global considerations are well out of our control, I have been guided with current, common sense financial advice. Zoe checks in with me on a quarterly basis, and at any time in the interim that she feels or I feel that we may need to do some updates to my accounts.\n<br><br>\nI had been encouraged by Zoe to work beyond a retirement date that I had arbitrarily chosen, as she knew that I was still enjoying my career. By continuing to work full time, this would allow me to continue to build up my portfolio. Who would have known that only a month after my original plan to retire, that we were going to all be impacted by the global disruption of COVID-19, and the ongoing fallout. Thank goodness I was still gainfully employed when the world came to a halt.\n<br><br>\nZoe, has always prioritized my interests, needs and long-term financial sustainability. \nI am now four years into retirement. I keep abreast of current events; I am aware of the global volatility that we are all continuing to be victims of. I am able to maintain a positive outlook in regards to my ongoing retirement by not only living within my means but by relying on the advice from my financial advisor and in knowing that Zoe Adrian has my back.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__title\">N.

They have been instrumental in navigating the complex world of investing for family members with unique needs, and are always mindful of the circumstances of one\u2019s personal situation and how best to take into consideration one\u2019s complete life picture. <br><br>\n\nAnd, in all of this, they have been an absolute pleasure to work with.
