As a key point of contact for clients, she makes sure all our compliance, and administrative requirements are met, so we can focus on assisting with planning, and getting your money invested for the future!   

Janice is responsible for all administrative functions and completing all back-office processes.  Janice is also actively involved in assisting Janine Purves with financial & cashflow planning needs.  Her friendly & professional demeanor and highly organized nature mean customer service as a priority.  Need a quick update, have a question about your paperwork, need to update your address or beneficiary, Janice is the one to call.

Janice enjoys reading, when she can find the time as her 3 active kids keep her running!  In fact, her focus on fitness is a requirement so she can keep up with the hockey, soccer and gymnastics competitions.  Taking time to enjoy the great outdoors is one more priority to help appreciate family time!

 Driven and passionate, Andrek Satkunarajah is a dedicated associate always eager to help provide any details our clients need.  As a Ryerson University graduate, with a specialization in Finance and a minor in Law, Andrek has continued his interest in the financial industry by  becoming both insurance & securities licensed. He is continuing to build his expertise by completing more courses at this time.  He joined our team in 2013 and has been a critcal part to making things happen.  That event you attended; the fundraiser you supported; the newsletter you just read; none of this would have happened without Andrek's diligence and expertise.  His goal is to provide a great experience for the client which he does by assisting in meeting preparation, insurance support, product analysis, marketing campaigns, coordinating client events and executing exceptional customer care.

After hours, Andrek is the Treasurer at the Richmond Hill Toastmaster Club.  His role as ‘Joy of Aging’ Event coordinator for the last 5 events has helped raise almost $350,000 for Mackenzie Health Foundation. He enjoys going to the gym, listening to podcasts, watching movies and playing sports under the sun.  As a newlywed in 2018, we've had to remind him to leave a little earlier lately, so he can attend to his new bride!
