What our clients say

Real results from real Canadians who made the switch to advisory done right.

I had three different advisors before Dorianis. Each one spoke a different language and recommended conflicting strategies. Now I have one coherent plan. The cost is lower, the returns are better, and I actually understand what's happening.

Michael T.
Investment professional — Toronto, ON

They repositioned my portfolio to reduce concentration risk in tech stocks and added real estate and bond allocation. When the tech sector cooled in 2024, I barely flinched. That diversification saved me from panic-selling.

Priya Mehta
Entrepreneur — Vancouver, BC

The risk assessment they did on my portfolio was eye-opening. I thought I was diversified, but really I was 68% in Canadian equities. They rebalanced me into a much more resilient mix. The peace of mind is invaluable.

Gordon MacLeod
Semi-retired professional — Montreal, QC

What impresses me most is that they adjust the plan as my situation changes. I got divorced, my business was acquired, and my priorities shifted. They didn't just shuffle allocations—they asked new questions and rebuilt the strategy.

Amanda L.
Executive — Calgary, AB

Common questions

Everything you need to know before your first conversation with us.

We typically work with clients managing $150,000 or more in investable assets. For smaller portfolios, we recommend lower-cost robo-advisors or DIY ETF strategies. We'd rather be honest about fit than stretch ourselves thin.
Quarterly at minimum. We send a detailed report, walk you through any changes, and discuss how your life circumstances may have shifted. Ad hoc conversations are always available if something material happens.
Yes. We integrate all account types into your overall strategy. TFSA and non-registered accounts receive special tax-optimization attention to maximize Canadian tax efficiency.
That's when good planning shines. We've stress-tested your portfolio against major corrections. We rebalance into weakness, harvest tax losses, and talk you out of panic decisions. Your strategy is built to survive volatility, not avoid it.
We coordinate with your lawyer and accountant on estate strategy. We don't do legal or tax preparation, but we ensure your investment structure supports your estate goals.
Yes. We're fully compliant with IIROC and provincial securities regulations. Your assets are held at a custodian, not with us directly, for your protection.
