Testimonial

My husband and I worked with Dawn Vader from Red Seal Financial to get some financial planning advice for our family. We had never worked with a financial planner before and really appreciated the time she took to answer our questions.

She was great at helping break down complex ideas into simple, easily understood concepts. She took the time to understand our situation and made recommendations that we were comfortable with. She even gave us time to digest the recommendations and so we were able to make decisions in our own time. Dawn Vader is a great financial planner and we would recommend her to anyone!
