Thérèse Soong, CFP, CIM

Financial Advisor

Thérèse has been guiding individuals and families through their financial journeys since 1997, when she was hired by her financial mentor, Jan Giezen. That opportunity became a turning point, as she discovered how meaningful it was to help people make sense of their finances and feel more confident about important life decisions.

 

In 2005, Thérèse and Jan formed a partnership, and in 2010, they brought Pieter onto the team. Since Jan’s retirement in 2017, Thérèse and Pieter have been working together as partners, aligned in their shared commitment to guiding clients through their financial journeys with care and confidence.

 

Thérèse is passionate about helping clients navigate both everyday financial decisions and significant life events. Her goal is to ensure that clients feel confident, at peace, and in control of their financial futures.

 

As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and a Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) with a Portfolio Manager designation, Thérèse has the expertise to support her clients’ financial goals. Prior to her career in finance, Thérèse worked in scientific research, making use of her Bachelor of Science degree. This background shapes her thoughtful, research-driven approach to selecting the right financial and investment tools, helping clients make confident, informed decisions in both calm and challenging times. 

Piet Giezen, CFA, CFP

Financial Advisor

Piet began his career in personal finance during the 2008 financial crisis for one of Canada’s Big Five banks. Early on, he recognized that working independently was the best way to truly serve clients’ interests.  In 2010, he joined Thérèse and his father, Jan Giezen, at an independent securities firm and has remained committed to client-first advice ever since.

Piet holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designations and is life insurance licensed. In October 2024, he earned first place on the President’s List for the highest CFP exam score in Canada—a distinction he credits to the trust and experience gained from working closely with his clients.

Known for his analytical mindset and commitment to lifelong learning, Piet enjoys taking courses, reading personal finance books, and listening to podcasts.  In his free time, he tries to stay active with his partner, Melissa, and their two children.
