About Us

Mike MacDougall works closely with our clients to establish long-term relationships and meet all their financial objectives in collaboration with our network of partners and bankers. His background in commercial banking gave Mike a sound understanding of taxation and business finance, which particularly helps our clients who own businesses. Mike has worked in financial services since 2005 upon graduating from St. Francis Xavier University’s Gerald Schwartz School of Business with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance. He worked with another major Canadian bank as an Account Manager and Commercial Account Manager in Moncton and Saint John, where he received a Gold Award. In 2014, Mike was recruited by his Uncle, Alan Leard, to join our team. Very personable, client focused, experienced, and well rounded, Mike is a good listener who has become an invaluable contributor to our group and officially became a name partner in 2022.

Mike holds the Personal Financial Planner (PFP®) designation conferred by the Canadian Securities Institute and his Life Insurance license. He has completed industry courses too numerous to mention in order to hone his financial skills and knowledge. With almost 20 years of experience in the industry and a long runway ahead of him, Mike has experienced many market cycles, is open minded about change, and is driven to develop new, more efficient methodologies.

Mike grew up in Riverview, New Brunswick, where he was a two-time Provincial Hockey Champion, before moving to Nova Scotia to attend university. He has volunteered as Treasurer of the Bedford Business Association since 2016.

Mike and his wife Sarah reside in Bedford with their daughter, Maggie. His top priority is being a dad and spending time with his parents, siblings, in-laws, nieces, and nephews as well as his circle of friends. Mike also loves playing hockey and golf, being in the great outdoors, and travelling. As a proud Maritimer, Mike enjoys discovering new places and experiences, and he’s always happy to pass on his favourite recommendations.

Tiffany is a proud Nova Scotian and a busy single mom who loves camping and exploring nature with her son, Camden. Together Tiffany and Camden love to camp in the summer and beachcomb all year round looking for sea glass, shells as well as hunting for treasure using Camden’s metal detector. Tiffany loves genealogy and Maritime history and has even discovered she is related to some of our clients! When she gets a little time to herself, Tiffany enjoys curling up with a good book.
