We have worked with Andrew Parrott and Eastport Financial Group since our business was in its infancy. Since that time, our business has experienced significant growth. Andrew, Cy, and the Eastport team have been there every step of the way as our planning has taken on more complexity. They are a key member of our planning team, along with our accounting and legal relationships.

My husband Joe and I have worked with Jonathan and the team at EFG now for several years and all I can say is they go beyond simply managing our investment needs. They are engaged and celebrate our successes with us. They are clear on our values, and our purpose and in tune with our WHY as a couple. Jonathan wants to see us achieve our goals and takes personal pride in each mile marker as our family moves ahead in life financially and in every other part of our lives.

When Stephanie and I first met with Jonathan we were concerned about our long term financial planning with retirement appearing on the horizon and the ongoing need to support a child with special needs. He was confident that the firm we were with that marketed themselves at the planning firm of choice for medical professionals could be bettered so far as our client experience and helping us achieve our personal goals. Since we engaged with Jonathan and the EFG team we feel that we are back on the correct path and have clear measurable milestones that we need to achieve to make a financially secure retirement a reality. It also helped tremendously that Jonathan shares in our faith in God and a desire to be good stewards with what we have been entrusted with.

I have worked with Jonathan and his team at Eastport Financial for over 10 years now. When I first engaged with Jonathan and the EFG team I was disenfranchised with the industry and didn't feel as though my goals and objectives could ever be reached. As a Doctor working in NS I knew my retirement depended on what I put away and time was ticking. Jonathan and Cy wrapped their arms around my planning and took ownership in it. Their "Go anywhere" mandate to help me achieve my objectives turned the tide. After many years of very poor growth I have seen amazing and consistent returns on my investments. Their regular meetings to review and tweak my portfolio have made me feel much more confident as I get closer to retirement. Professional and yet very personable is how I would describe what it is like to be apart of the Eastport family of clients.

Our company was entering a renewal negotiation and we wanted to ensure that our renewal was fair and up to industry standard.We sought out the expertise of Andrew Parrott, Eastport Financial Group and Jeff Gillespie, Mathica Benefits Consulting.Andrew and Jeff shared their tremendous knowledge and demonstrated great attention to detail throughout the entire process. Maplewave is a growing company and we employ a diverse group, with different needs. It was important to us that we reviewed and negotiated our benefits plan to provide the best for all of our people. Jeff and Andrew actively listened and understood our values and were able to provide us with a great experience. They were instrumental in helping us align our plan with Maplewave’s culture, as a part of our overall compensation strategy. The outcome was positive, and our team is pleased with the quality and flexibility that our new plan provides today. We are passionate about our culture at Maplewave, and everything that impacts it. We value quality, flexibility and care – and we are happy to say that our plan incorporates all those values that are key to our success. Thank you Andrew and Jeff for really making this process seamless with an excellent outcome

Jonathan believed in me from the beginning - and was with me as I managed the negotiation of the sale of my small business. He just doesn't advise on my wealth plan - but I would call him a friend and this grew from his genuine caring of integrating my personal, business and financial lives together - very unique approach and one that I and my family have benefitting from. He is respectful of whatever level you want to be involved - so if you want a truly caring person and company to look after your money, then pick Jonathan. Thank you Jonathan!  ​

​There are financial advisors, there are people who become your friend and hold your hand through financial advising and become more, then there are those who become an intricate member of your inner circle. The inner circle that is with you in good times,and even more invested in bad times. We may all think financial advisors are about planning and selling services, if that is all yours is doing well probably like me you will wonder why it took you so long to switch to Jonathan. He is one of a kind in so many ways. Truly a special human being with integrity, honesty and genuine love for everyone around him.

I’d like to take a moment to express my appreciation for you and your team’s efforts in the transition of my Sobeys pension to your investment firm. Your professionalism and expertise insured that the transfer was done efficiently and with a minimal delay of less than a month.

The 3 years of building our relationship and portfolio helped me to make an informed decision and helped to ease the anxiety of this new period of my life. Your dedication to your clients shows the importance of creating a bond of trust with sound investments and advice for a financially secure retirement.

Je voudrais prendre un moment pour exprimer ma reconnaissance pour vous et les efforts de votre équipe dans la transition de ma pension Sobeys vers votre société d’investissement.

Les trois années de construction de notre relation et de notre portefeuille m'ont aidé à prendre une décision éclairée et ont aidé à apaiser l'anxiété de cette nouvelle période de ma vie.
