I’ve been working with Chris for nearly two years, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision to hire him as my financial planner. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, detail-oriented, honest, and incredibly patient. What truly sets him apart is his ability to break down complex financial concepts into simple, clear, and easy-to-understand insights. Chris consistently goes above and beyond, and thanks to his guidance, I now feel fully in control of my investments and confident about my financial future. His support has been invaluable — highly recommended.

My husband and I were looking for sound, comprehensive, fee-based advice on financial planning for pre- and post-retirement. That is exactly when Chris Merrick provided. He took us through detailed exploratory sessions to identify our current situation and our hopes for life post-retirement. He then provided a detailed plan that included several scenarios. A follow-up meeting clarified any questions we had. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for reliable and expert financial planning advice. Thanks to Chris we now feel confident moving forward towards our retirement.

Chris helped us significantly in terms of gaining clarity on our retirement goals and a few different scenarios. We are a married couple of working professionals in our late 30's, and we were looking for a fee-based financial expert to help us develop a map to follow, when we came across Merrick Financials. Chris's method is interactive, he asks thought-provoking questions and is knowledgable about the workings of investments/taxes in Canada. At the end of our engagement, we have come away with tangible annual targets to hit, to achieve our desired retirement goals. Will recommend Chris to anyone looking to firm up their plans for a financially secure future.

Chris is an outstanding professional. I was looking for fee-based planners in Ontario and his name popped up in a list of top rated advisors. What interested me most was his expertise in small business exits and how this could help my family effectively prepare for retirement. Although we had dragged our feet over several months, Chris was patient, attentive and most importantly equipped us for success. Will absolutely return in the future if we require more projections or data, and would recommend to anyone unsure or uncertain of how to proceed with their future or retirement plans.
