Jeff Romansky, CHS, CPCA
Founder & President
Jeff began his insurance career in 2006 with RBC Insurance, where he supported hundreds of advisors across Ontario through training, consultation, and business development support. His ability to build strong relationships, paired with his positive approach and technical expertise, led to multiple awards, including being recognized as the top performer in his role across Canada on several occasions.
After nine successful years at RBC, Jeff decided to pursue his long-time goal of launching his own brokerage. Today, he specializes in helping professionals, executives, and owner-managed businesses with individual insurance, income protection, estate planning, and employee benefits. Since then, he has grown his practice significantly and is now regarded as one of the top brokers in Canada, known for his consultative approach and advanced planning knowledge.
Much of Jeff’s practice is built on referrals from clients, accountants, other advisors, and Certified Financial Planners. He is also active online, educating the personal finance community on the importance of proper insurance planning.
Jeff proudly serves clients throughout Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. As an independent broker, he works solely in the best interest of his clients, not the insurance companies. Clients appreciate his educational, pressure-free approach and the clarity he brings to complex planning decisions. When needed, Jeff collaborates with trusted accountants, lawyers and financial planners to ensure his clients’ broader financial objectives are met. Many clients view him as a long-term partner in their personal and corporate planning.
Jeff lives in Smithville with his wife and daughter. Outside of work, he enjoys golfing with friends, curling and spending time at horse shows with his family.
