Allan & Wendy Murcia, Georgetown, ON

After a few meetings, I decided to begin working with you because you had gained my confidence through your process of â€œeducating me first

Michael Harding, President - Inline Reference Check Inc.

We were looking for direction and advice with our financial affairs. Scott Plaskett, CFP of IRONSHIELD Financial Planning came highly recommended by a variety of other IRONSHIELD clients. The main reason we decided to work with IRONSHIELD was their goal-oriented and highly personal approach to financial planning.

Dr. Frank Ritacca & Bridgette McCaig - Etobicoke, Ontario

We asked our accountant for a referral to a financial planner and were introduced to Scott Plaskett, CFP at IRONSHIELD Financial Planning. We found that his firms philosophy was completely compatible with what we were looking for - to be educated and to take a proactive approach to our financial future. Our experience with IRONSHIELD has reinforced our decision to move forward with The Building A Foundation Program(tm).

Marc Duval - Toronto, Ontario

Can I be client of the month? I have successfully purchased a home, a patio set, a lawnmower and a hose. And, it was all made possible by saving 10% of EVERY dollar I ever made, balancing my chequebook, not using "non-bank" bank machines, checking phone booths and video games for quarters, picking up change on the street, and listening to my FABULOUS financial planners from Ironshield Financial Planning.

Laurie Nelson - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Over the past few years, we have had some informal discussions about finances with you and I was really impressed with your knowledge. And, after a glowing recommendation from a mutual friend who is a client and seeing the hard work and focus you bring to your work, I decided to choose you and your firm to work with. Our decision to work with you was re-enforced by the level of service and attention we are given. Our conversations with you are thorough, well paced and easy to follow. You simply take your time to do things right. I really feel like you give your personal time and attention to our affairs that our business and our personal welfare really matter. Thanks Scott.

Nanci Harris, Toronto, Ontario

I liked the way you contacted me on several occasions which gave me the feeling we were important to you as future clients and you would be persistent as well as caring in handling our finances. You were very genuine at our first meeting taking time to answer all our concerns, listening and giving us advice. My decision to work with you was re-enforced when we received your New Client Welcome Kit. The book you sent us "Chicken Soup For The Soul" told me that you had a spiritual side. I now know we are in good hands.

Mrs. Bonny Hodgson, Mississauga, Ontario

The ad in the Yellow Pages of the Etobicoke edition and the Special Report titled "12 Key Questions You Must Ask A Financial Advisor Before You Hire One!" was hard hitting. The report made the ad appear as honest, forthcoming and forthright. The follow-up material was a real confidence builder allowing me to make a confident decision to use the financial planning services Ironshield Financial Planning has to offer. The first meeting with Scott was very professional. He came across as a person who knew his business thoroughly and that he wasn't after my last dollar. He truly had my best interests at heart.

Arthur Weller, Acton, Ontario

Our experiences to date have re-enforced our decision to work with Ironshield Financial Planning. Historically we have made bad financial and investment decisions and you have helped us choose more wisely. Thanks!

Marcello & Lynn Colavecchia, Maple, Ontario

Our goal was to find a firm that could help us prepare for retirement by letting us know where we stood with our savings and RRSPs. We really appreciated the personal touch Scott brought to the relationship. Scott was able to explain everything in terms we could understand. He presented us with our options in a way no one else had done.

Robert & Gordana Martinovich, Mississauga, Ontario

I was referred to Scott by a colleague. I experienced an efficient, professional approach from the moment I entered the office. My goals and desires to become more active with my investments was met with a sincerity. Scott was warm and friendly.

Beverly Bonk, Etobicoke, Ontario

...It wasn't that there was any one main reason we chose to work with Scott, our financial planner at Ironshield Financial Planning. In fact, it was because there were so many reasons! We appreciated the upfront, direct, and no stone unturned approach. We also recognized the genuine concern Scott had for our well being. As well, we appreciated the professional guidance; with out the professional sales tactics. I could go on and on with details and examples. My advice for anyone would be to simply find the time, go to the "FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION", and enjoy the experience. The "Call At Anytime For Any Question" policy is one of the things that has really re-enforced our decision to work with Scott at Ironshield Financial Planning. We enjoy knowing there is a vast library of services available to us. The knowledge possessed by Scott and the other Certified Financial Planners in the office gives us a real sense of security. Thanks for the human side to business...

Paul Freeburn, Etobicoke, Ontario

After a personal assessment of the principals of the firm, we decided to work with Ironshield Financial Planning. We found that the quality of the presentation, the well organized approach, the well documented suggestions and the thoroughness all re-enforced our decision.

David & Barbara Clark, Etobicoke, Ontario

Fantastic word of mouth was the main reason I chose to work with Ironshield Financial Planning. Scott's ability to distill my life down into meaningful, achievable goals along with his professionalism and consistency gave me a lot of confidence in my decision.

Chris Bennett, Toronto, Ontario

You were recommended by one of my family members who has been a client for some time. You were very co-operative in the transfer of my portfolio.

Marjorie Lusk, Mississauga, Ontario

I chose to work with Ironshield Financial Planning because I realized that I needed help in deciding what to do with my Pension Plan. I also wanted to work with someone who is very knowledgeable in the financial field. â€¦many discussions with a long time client of Ironshield Financial Planning about the kinds of people Scott and Cathy are and their qualifications gave me confidence in the firm. Scott is very professional and I believe that he is very knowledgeable in the financial field.
