As a seasoned Insurance Broker and Financial Advisor, I bring a wealth of expertise to my clients across ON. With a mission to provide holistic financial solutions, I offer a diverse portfolio of services, including Estate Planning, Life, Health, Disability, Critical Illness, Auto, Home, and Commercial/Business Insurance. I founded Insurance Bazaar in 2019, a client-centric agency committed to delivering personalized insurance solutions tailored to individual needs.

I am not only a practitioner but also an avid learner, actively pursuing prestigious financial designations like CLU and MFA-P. My dedication to continuous learning ensures I stay current and ahead of industry trends and regulatory changes, allowing me to provide top-tier advice.

As a Managing Partner of Access Credit Union, I manage all Member Facing employees.  We take pride in assisting our members with all their banking needs and also act as advisors.  Our DSR's and SMS's deal with many estate situations.  As Manager, I assist with estates and speak with many families going through this difficult time in their lives.  I provide guidance to all employees, so they are able to better handle the estate.

We are proud at Access Credit Union for the service we provide to our members.  We are unique in that we serve many small communities, getting to know people on a personal level vs. large communities where you may not know everyone.  People like to know that they can come to us, and we remember their name and their family member's names!  They have a direct number where they can contact us, and we respond quickly.  

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.
