Eric Simpson
CFP®, CLU®, CHS®
Financial Planner
Your financial goals are unique. Your financial advisor should be too. I provide personalized wealth planning advice and innovative solutions to high net worth individuals, business owners and professionals.
My Story
I was introduced to financial planning early in life as both of my parents worked in this sector. I started in financial services in 2008 and gained experience in a variety of positions with both large financial corporations and independent financial advisors, while pursuing my education. My goal to go into independent practice aligned with the succession planning needs of a family business, Money Moods Incorporated, founded in 1995 by my mother, Carolyn Simpson. I took on responsibility for leading the firm and became a majority shareholder in 2020. We have since added the Simpson Financial Group to our brand where I provide financial planning services for our high net worth clients, business owners and professionals.
​
I completed my 3 year advanced diploma in Banking and Wealth Management for which I received the Academic Award for highest GPA. I then obtained my Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®) and Certified Health Insurance Specialist (CHS®) designations.
​
I'm proud to hold these credentials as they are widely recognized as a superior mark of excellence in the financial services industry. Designation holders are regarded as Financial Advisors who raise the bar, developing effective solutions for individuals, business owners and professionals in the areas of risk management, wealth creation and preservation, estate planning and wealth transfer. I will continue my education to stay relevant and on top of this ever-changing and complex business.
​
I'm grateful for a career that I am passionate about and for the relationships that it develops. We live, work and play in our community, supporting local businesses and charities. I am a member of the Burlington Golf and Country Club and a committee member on the Oakville Hospital Foundation Golf Tournament board.
​
Outside of work I enjoy time with my wife and three kids, playing golf and hockey, and grilling in the backyard with family and friends.
Our Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Couldn't do this without the support and contributions of our partners and associates. Our combined years of experience and education provide a wealth of resources from which we draw on every day. Our eclectic personalities and mutual respect for one another keep it fun and interesting.
Carolyn Simpson, MBA
Insurance Agent, Life and A&S
Founder, Money Moods Incorporated
Carolyn was recognized for 25 consecutive years as one of the top Independent Advisors in Manulife's Independent Advisor Channel, ultimately receiving the prestigious ‘5 Star Master Builder Award’ earned by advisors that exemplify professionalism and service excellence. She is only one of 144 independent advisors in Canada to receive this award since its inception in 1961.
​
It’s a number-based business and Carolyn mastered economic theory and finance courses in the Executive MBA program at Western’s Ivey School of Business, but at heart, Carolyn is a people person. Noticing the disconnect between what the numbers said and how people behaved she was drawn to studies in Behavioural Finance and completed her certification at Harvard University in 1998. She embraces the principles of both traditional and behavioural finance in her practice.
