Mireille Perron

Director, Tax Planning

Mireille is a curious person who is always eager to learn. Thanks to this natural curiosity, she has acquired knowledge in areas related to her financial planning work that make her an accomplished advisor. As a marathon runner, she loves meeting challenges. With her results-oriented approach, she sees each of her clients as unique and strives to present them with a clear picture of their situation and how they can achieve their goals.

Mireille has worked in a variety of fields. She began her career in property and casualty insurance while pursuing academic studies in financial services. Before going into banking, she was an exchange trader, thus gaining an understanding of how the stock market works. After five years working as a financial planner, Mireille left the sector for the construction industry (administration, negotiations, accounting, appraisal), which gave her insight into the realities of entrepreneurs. She has returned to wealth management and now feels much better equipped to advise her clients.
