We have been working with Jay and his team for several years and couldn’t be more pleased, we made the right decision. We feel very confident that he is looking after our investments with our best interest in mind. Jay communicates well and is quick to answer any questions or concerns we have in a clear and professional manner using layman terms. Jay worked with us to personalize our portfolio and during the transition of moving our retirement investments from Canadian Banks to amalgamate into Cedar Rock without us ever feeling pressure to do so. Jays’ attention to detail and personal nature has made us thankful for making the move to Cedar Rock.

Between my wife and I, and with me being one of those people who seemed to change careers every 10 years or so, we had accumulated a trail of pensions and investments that needed some serious organization. Being in the market for a financial adviser, Jay was recommended to us by a trusted friend and we couldn’t be more pleased. Knowledgeable, professional, and very approachable, Jay knew all the right questions to ask. He quickly and efficiently gathered all of our loose threads into an efficient and productive investment machine. Highly recommend.
