to the advisory team at my business with a focus on best
practices for wealth management, insurance protection and estate planning.
I am also actively involved in the investment and insurance management business where I personally serves the needs of my diverse
clientele. I specializes in providing unique tax and estate planning
solutions to professionals and business owners. I believe that financial fulfillment
begins with envisioning your goals. As a Financial advisor, my goal
is to help you experience financial fulfillment by assisting you in discovering
what is most important to you. With your priorities as a foundation, I am to
provide personalized, quality advice; tailored specifically with your goals in
mind. As a professional in the financial and insurance services
industry, I have had the pleasure of assisting many individuals over the past
8 years and counting. Throughout this time, I have spent much time educating
myself on how to best help clients achieve financial fulfillment through attending
many industry conferences and by taking relevant courses. I approach all
relationships with integrity, honesty and good values and have adopted this golden rule: “Treat others the same way that you want to be treated". My goal is to simplify your financial and insurance experience by listening to what you want and then working with you to select
options best suited to your  personality. I also beleive in self growth and continue learning. I came across the CEA and I become quickly interested as I found lots of useful information that is beneficial to my clients and I. My goal is to help you, so let me to do it.

Bonita Jane Kee ensures
that clients are taken care of in an honest, efficient and prompt
manner. I bring a vast amount of knowledge; as prior to being an investment fund advisor and insurance agent my previous experience included being on the
management team for a publicly traded securities registration systems
company and as Operations Manager at Financial Literacy Counsel Inc. I am currently insurance licensed, MFDA licensed and a member of
Advocis.

I believe in a holistic approach to clients’ finances, helping create the right balance. For over 20 years, I’ve enjoyed getting to know my clients and helping them make sense of their goals and objectives. And, as life changes, so does our journey together.

My passion to help people protect their finances is what drove me to become a financial advisor! From an early age I sought opportunities to help others, through volunteering and work. My interest in finances took me on a journey working in banking, life insurance, health and out-of-country medical coverage, and to being a financial advisor.

I take pride in keeping my practice up to date in an ever-changing industry, including learning what government programs, employee benefit programs, pension benefits and other new opportunities are available. I began volunteering with Advocis (The Financial Advisors Association of Canada) early in my career and am currently the Bay of Quinte Chapter president. Membership in the Canadian Institute of Certified Executive Advisors helps keep me up to date on issues concerning executors of wills and estates.

Being actively involved in the financial and business community is important to me. Through my role as a member of the Manulife Bank Advisory Council, I help close gaps between the company’s offerings and clients’ needs. As a director of the Belleville Chamber of Commerce, I stay current with important community and political issues, and can help refer clients to other professionals in the community.

During my personal time, I enjoy reading and making crafts such greeting cards, scrapbooks, and wood projects. I love spending time with our grandchildren. My husband, Norm, and I also like to travel and walk on beaches we discover. And whenever possible, I volunteer, do charity work, and help with local schools.

Estate planning and compliance has become a significant amount of the work I prepare. Being a manager at Avail LLP I have had the opportunity to learn and grow within our estate group. My goals are to assist clients with estate planning to ensure their wishes are met with the least amount of tax liabilities and help executors and families through a challenging time.
