Danielle J. Genier, CLU, CFP
Certified Financial Planner
Success doesn’t come from just “practicing what you preach” – it’s much bigger than that. It comes from being willing to live what you really believe; and that’s the way Danielle Genier created success in her own life, and has helped her clients do the same.
But the problem with actually living what you believe is that it takes courage, and not the theoretical kind. It takes the real, day-to-day, even-if-it’s-not-popular kind of courage – luckily Danielle seems to have lots of that.
One of the most amazing things about Danielle is that she simply has to “tell it as it is” – she can’t help it. So when her clients are on track and doing a great job, she is there to remind them of their success and encourage them to continue. When she has clients that are drifting off their plan, she is also there to remind them of their own reasons for taking charge of their financial security, and how to continue to stick to their plan.
Quite simply, because Danielle believes so much that her clients can truly be financially successful, she has no hesitation in living her responsibility of holding them accountable to their goals. Sometimes those conversations are exciting and create a lot of enthusiasm, other times they require a bit more courage. And as Danielle will tell you, the real courage in being financially successful is the courage to tell the truth.
Many people aren’t getting what they want because they are putting their attention on what everyone else thinks is important, not what they think is important. That’s why Danielle spends so much time with her clients – time understanding what is truly important to them.
With an entire career in the banking and financial services world, Danielle brings a very practical and compelling path to creating financial security. She also brings the skills and expertise. Danielle has earned her Chartered Life Underwriter’s (CLU) designation as well as the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation granted by the Financial Planners Standards Council of Canada; and is an active member of Advocis – the national Financial Advisors Association of Canada.
If you’re ready for some straight talk about your financial path – both personally and for your business – then Danielle is ready to help you build on what’s most important to you.

Because he’s always looking forward, Ryan seems older than he actually is. His ability to plan ahead is something Ryan learned from his father. Coming from a family of successful gold miners, Ryan knows that small decisions can have a big impact and hard work always comes before the payoff.

Nicole was born and raised in Timmins and is the youngest of twelve children – that’s right, twelve. With that many kids in the family, it prompts a few quick questions such as, do you remember everyone’s name and birthdate, and did you like being the youngest. The answers, incidentally, are yes, yes, and yes.
In some ways, hearing Nicole’s story helps one understand why she’s such a good fit at Genier Financial Services Inc. She started working in the mining industry and later shifted to working in consulting and engineering administrative roles. Nicole came from a large family and also has a large family of her own. She has lived in the area her entire life. Nicole understands our world, how important financial planning is, and also understands the importance of looking out for her own family.
To go a step further, Nicole’s relationship with Danielle emerged out of being a client! It was by good fortune that Nicole came to work with Genier Financial Services Inc. One day she had an appointment with Danielle for her own personal investments and that’s when Danielle mentioned to her that she was looking to hire an Administrative Assistant. Nicole followed up with her resume, and the rest was history.
Nicole is one of those happy people who likes to take action. She’s not the centre of attention, but she is often near the centre of the action, answering questions, following up and keeping things moving.
Playing a key role in processing the paperwork of the office, making appointments, and helping clients, Nicole brings common sense and a family focus to her work.
