KEVIN MACLEOD, CFP , CES, PARTNER & FINANCIAL PLANNER

Good advice was a rare commodity 23 years ago when Kevin found his personal and professional lives evolving. He and his wife were about to start a family and – having recently sold his retail business – he was seeking a new career. After a year long search, Kevin sought financial advice as a means of securing his future. Instead he found a passion for financial services and his future was realized. Kevin earned his CFP designation and set out to educate people on money matters, one client at a time. As a focused and passionate leader, Kevin’s greatest reward comes from helping clients make informed financial decisions. “There are two things we have no control over: the markets and life. We help our clients make great decisions that are designed – among other things – to weather the unexpected."
