Get to know the team at GFS, follow our community involvement, and pick up a few nuggets along the way.

Success doesn’t come from just “practicing what you preach” – it’s much bigger than that. It comes from being willing to live what you really believe; and that’s the way Danielle Genier created success in her own life, and has helped her clients do the same. But the problem with actually living what you believe is that it takes courage, and not the theoretical kind. It takes the real, day-to-day,

even-if-it’s-not-popular kind of courage – luckily Danielle seems to have lots of that. One of the most amazing things about Danielle is that she simply has to “tell it as it is” – she can’t help it. So when clients are on track and doing a great job, she is there to remind them of their success and encourage them to continue. When she has clients that are drifting off their plan, she is also there to remind them of their own reasons for taking charge of their financial security, and how to continue to stick to their plan. Quite simply, because Danielle believes so much that clients can truly be financially successful, she has no hesitation in living her responsibility of holding them accountable to their goals. Sometimes those conversations are exciting and create a lot of enthusiasm, other times they require a bit more courage. And as Danielle will tell you, the real courage in being financially successful is the courage to tell the truth. Many people aren’t getting what they want because they are putting their attention on what everyone else thinks is important, not what they think is important. That’s why Danielle spends so much time with clients – time understanding what is truly important to them.

Meet the Team

Danielle J. Genier, CLU, CFP
Founder & Financial Planner

Success doesn't come from just practicing what you preach, it comes from truly living what you believe. That takes real, day-to-day courage, and Danielle has it in spades.

Danielle can't help but "tell it like it is." When clients are on track, she's there to celebrate their progress. When they drift, she reminds them why they started and helps them get back on course. Because she believes so deeply in her clients' potential, she holds them accountable even when it takes courage to tell the truth.

Danielle spends real time with clients understanding what's genuinely important to them, not what everyone else says should matter. With a career built entirely in banking and financial services, she brings a practical, compelling approach to financial security backed by her Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designations, and active membership in Advocis, Canada's national Financial Advisors Association.

If you're ready for straight talk about your financial path, personal or business Danielle is ready to help.
