Our team

Ed believes in creating a personalized roadmap for every client, making strategic recommendations based on individual circumstances and revising that strategy as our clients’ lives change. As the founder of the wealth advisory team Simpson & Partners, he brings over a decade of experience in the industry to his practice, along with a passion for seeing entrepreneurs succeed. Ed believes his value lies in creating strategies for our clients that take a holistic view of their financial situation — getting the little things right to help them achieve their bigger goals.

Ed is a graduate of John Abbott College and went on to Concordia University where he studied Economics. He began his career in the finance industry by founding a publicly traded company, before opening a wealth management practice in 2012.
