Paul Craft, CLU
Financial Advisor
In 1983, Paul Craft began his financial services career and obtained his Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) designation. Paul recognized that farming and agricultural-based businesses needed his services; sharing values on a business and personal level made this a natural market for him.
As time passed, Paul's clients evolved and their businesses grew. They went from securing loans for expansion to more complex partnership and corporate structures that required a different level of advice and knowledge. Paul’s experience grew, his skills became more specialized, and this led him on a path to creating Paul Craft Financial Inc., which is capable of helping independent and family-owned farming businesses deal with exit strategies and succession planning.
Married to Gisele for over 30 years, Paul is the proud father of a son and two daughters and grandfather to one. In his spare time, he enjoys fishing, hunting, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Christine Beaumont, B.Comm, CFP (Service en français)
Financial Advisor
Aspiring to work with people in a meaningful way, Christine started her financial planning practice in 2007. In 2011 she joined Paul Craft Financial Inc. Working with Paul, in a well-established practice, has allowed Christine to quickly expand her knowledge of comprehensive wealth planning and risk management.
This positions her to help clients in various stages of life from young professionals, families, and business-owners starting out, to individuals who have accumulated wealth and are nearing or in retirement.
Her education, prior experience and analytical nature has added value to new and existing client relationships through the development of comprehensive financial plans, retirement projections and risk management strategies.
When Christine is not in the office or meeting a client, you may find her on the playground with her husband and two young daughters.
Christine has a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree and has obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation.
