In 2001 I joined Edward Jones as a Financial Advisor, and became a Limited Partner with Edward Jones in 2007. Before Edward Jones, I graduated from Westervelt Business College and worked as a Financial Advisor at St. Willibrord Credit Union for 20 years. I attained my Certified Financial Planning® designation in 2000. I have been an active member of the community, serving as the president and vice president of the Forest Kiwanis Club from 2013-2015 and I have been an executive member for Lambton Shores Minor Hockey Association.

Our branch team includes Branch Office Administrator Terrie Core, On-call Branch Office Administrator Aprille Firth-Willemse new Financial Advisor Cristina Smits and myself. Terrie and Aprille are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible and can answer any administrative questions you might have.

As your Edward Jones branch team, we believe it’s important to understand what you’re working toward; we take the time to truly listen and get to know you and then I use our established process to build personalized financial strategies to help you achieve your unique goals. Once these strategies are implemented, we maintain regular contact to inform you of any developments and address any needs or changes in your situation.

I am proud to serve a wide variety of clients with diverse goals. I work with individuals, families and businesses to address the following areas: retirement strategies, estate considerations, business owner needs, survivor and long-term care needs, life insurance needs, and education savings. In an effort to bring simplicity to my clients' lives, I assist in consolidating accounts to help them understand their investments. When a client calls our office, they reach myself, Cristina, Terrie or Aprille, not an automated service or call centre.

We meet when it’s convenient for our clients because we recognize the challenging needs of their businesses and their lives.

Barry Soper, Certified Financial Planner, and licensed financial advisor since 1998, is a seasoned professional with 25 prior years of experience in business, mortgages, real estate investment and development, giving him the depth of knowledge and life experience needed to help his clients achieve financial security - For Life.

Since 1996, I have owned a financial advisory practice providing education and empowering my clients to make smart, informed decisions about their money.

I believe that an educated client is a satisfied client and that financial success is a matter of choice, not chance.  I love to help people make informed financial choices to develop a strategic plan so that they can turn their dreams into reality.

Life changes such as divorce, death or retirement can be very stressful and the financial industry can be overwhelming and confusing.  I help people make informed decisions when it comes to taxation, savings, investments, education and estate and succession planning.  I can help to ensure your estate is well prepared.

Staying current with all aspects of investment and financial planning is very important to me.  As a testament to this I have earned my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designations to ensure I provide the highest quality of advice across a wide range of topics.
