“I met Steve through a local networking group. I was impressed immediately by his understanding of Financial Planning, but was more so drawn to his relationship-building approach, rather than a sales pitch that you see in so many other advisors. As an entrepreneur, it’s never easy keeping all “the balls in the air” as it were. It’s nice to know when it comes to planning my financial future I can confidently leave it in Northern River Financials’ good hands.”

“Bob has been a fantastic help to both of us. He has taken the time to get to know us, as well as the time to come to us when we had questions from buying a house to life insurance. He has made an otherwise confusing world easier to understand, which in turn made all the big decisions seem more comfortable to make. Reassurance goes a long way when your financial well being depends on it”
Cameron & Jennifer
“I am absolutely delighted with your service. It is really refreshing to work with a financial planner who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances and preferences. What really impressed me was the way you took the time to get a feeling for where I was at, your depth of knowledge, lateral thinking, and your common sense approach. Your professional and ethical demeanor elicits my trust and respect.”

“As a retired financial planner, I knew what I wanted in regard to appointing my own financial planner. I wanted someone that was professionally qualified, a member of a professional association, someone who had experience with investments, and a background in accounting was preferable. In choosing to appoint Steve and his team at Northern River, I knew that I was satisfying all of the above criteria.”
