59 www.finance-monthly.com About Christine Marks Christine has been guiding investors in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, with protecting and growing their assets for almost two decades. As a Certified Financial Planner [CFP], Christine specializes in leading other professionals and business owners from visualization to implementation of their personal financial goals with written plans and a healthy dose of realistic optimism. She has an Honours Psychology degree from Western University (1989), a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School (1992) , and she is currently working on her Certified Executor Advisor [CEA] designation. Christine believes that the key to understanding her clients’ priorities and goals comes from developing a relationship with each individual and truly listening when they speak. Commenting on her award, Christine added: “During challenging times like this, it is important to count your blessings.” Giving special thanks to the voters and the FM Legal awards team, Christine told us, “I’m shy but I will admit that this recognition feels great because it’s been a tough couple of years in this industry. “It’s an honour to serve my clients, but I am hoping that they are unaware of the out-sized efforts required since December of 2018.” To be recognised as Financial Planning Adviser of the Year, dedication is required, but what helps a little extra is the support from those closest to you. “My family supports my need to be often absent, especially my wonderful daughters. I truly appreciate my family and friend’s support.” Christine extended her recognition to her Cockapoo, Geddy, who accompanies her to work everyday, but rather amiably concluded: “If I could pay this recognition forward then I would pin this award on my incredible fiancé, Larry. I’ve been too busy and missed things, and been cranky and distracted much too often. Larry picked up all of the slack and is supportive, kind, and encouraging in so many ways.” Firm Profile Estate Multipliers opened its doors in 1993 as a paralegal firm focused on Will-preparation.
