True North Financial Services Inc. - Saskatoon

Chris and his team have taught me so much about developing a business mindset as I continue to grow within my profession. They have supported me from the moment I graduated and through my specialty training.I first started working with Chris, and the Graham. They have both focused on educating me on products to support my long-term financial stability. They do not aggressively sell products or services. Instead, they ask what problems and concerns I have for the future and what goals I have in the short, medium and long term. They then provide practical solutions to each of these points.I cannot thank them enough for their helpful support, advice and encouragement. I highly recommend both of them for all personal insurance and investment advice.

Chris and Graham have been handling my investments and insurance for almost a decade. They go above and beyond every time. Graham has done an amazing job of growing my investments and keeping me informed. He has also set me up with the right people to help me manage my day to day finances so I can save more money and free up cash flow. This means a lot for a single parent. I feel completely confident that this team has my best interests in mind all the time and I appreciate their efforts.

The True North Team is awesome to work with. They get the job done and explain things in easy to understand plain English.

I recently met with Chris to talk about my financial situation at home and with owning a small business. I was very surprised when I actually went through all the information and didn't really consider the fact that if I were to die or something happen to me there would be nothing for my husband or child. Chris was able to sit down with me and draw out an affordable plan based on my own budget that covered me, my family, and gave me so much reassurance that they will be taken care of if something happens. I can honestly say that I sleep better at night knowing that my family is in good happens if something happens. Thank you so much! If I could rate them 100 stars I would!

I have worked with Chris for over 7 years and find he and his team to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and customer-focused. They are a down to earth group of individuals who find satisfaction in providing solutions that meet the individual needs of their clients. I highly recommend them to both consumers and business clients for any financial planning, investment or insurance need.

I am a small business accountant in Saskatoon and I have worked with Chris Smela and his team for the last four years. I am continually learning from Chris and his team about various strategies that individuals and businesses can use to secure their financial futures. I feel very comfortable recommending my clients to Chris and his team as I know that they will be well looked after!

I have been working with Chris Smela for approximately 8 years now, and I have to say that my experience has been fantastic! As a local business owner Chris has worked with me to help save for my retirement, protect my health and save taxes! If you own a corporation, I highly recommend you sit down with Chris and his team of professionals....you can't go wrong.

Chris has been an absolute life saver. I was a complete beginner coming to my first meeting with Chris roughly a year ago but him and his team have since done a great job at educating me not only on the importance of saving for the future but the best ways of doing so. We all work hard for our money, so knowing your money is not only safe, but in the best position for growth let’s me sleep at night comfortably. To anyone new to financial advisers or looking for the best, Chris and his team at Sunlife are without a doubt the ones to go with!

Chris has been fantastic. With a young family of four, he has really focused on taking care of my wife and I, as well as our two boys. Whether it’s planning for the unexpected or for our boys future, always very knowledgeable. Very attentive and looks out for what’s best for my family and I! Thanks, Chris!
