Commitment to Value

Adam Lee Financial is currently operating in three locations; Treherne, Portage La Prairie, and Winnipeg, offering such products as GIC’s, mutual funds, segregated funds, and insurance. We have combined our expertise in the investment world with in-depth tax knowledge to tailor unique solutions to a variety of client needs. Taxation has become an integral part of our business as reduction in taxes means an increase in the overall estate.

The founders of Adam Lee Financial Services Inc. came together in 1997 with different strengths which have been tailored to provide expertise not easily accessible with other firms. With the combination of experience dating back to 1969, tax preparation since 1982, and complex market analysis and understanding, client needs are met from all perspectives.

Our pledge to you, our client, is a conservative approach based on your tolerances for your benefit. Thank you for allowing us to assist you in building a roadmap of your financial requirements dating well into the future.

I have two passions in my life: my family, and being a Financial Advisor.

I love what I do as an advisor, and I especially love working as a team.  We have a great group of individuals here, and we all work together and learn from each other. Along with being mentored by an experienced group of investment and tax professionals including my father, I also had the fortunate experience of starting my career as a financial advisor during the 2008 financial crisis.  I definitely did not look at it that way at the time, but I know now that it was an invaluable learning experience. I learned that diversification is essential, and so is being extremely thorough when determining a client's true risk tolerance.  I also realized very early on just how important the relationships we have with our clients are.  Trust and good communication are key, and when clients become friends, I know I'm doing my job well. 

I live with my family in Treherne and love spending time with my husband and boys and extended family.  My work life and home life are interwoven, and I do what I do both for my clients' peace of mind and also for my kids' futures.  Our business is a family business and our clients are our family members, community members and friends.

I come from an agricultural background and I have been involved in that industry since I was old enough to reach the pedals on a tractor and see over the dash.  I stayed with it for many years after graduating high school and then receiving a Diploma in AgriBusiness.  While growing up on the farm, attending college, and working in the industry over the years,  I gained a lot of experience in many different areas that gave me a broad base of knowledge of which I am very grateful for.  

When I started at Adam Lee Financial in 2011, I was mentored by some of the best out there who showed me that we are really in a service industry and helping people is the most fulfilling part.  Working in a family business has been such a benefit and has taught me that the relationships we have with our clients are the most important aspect of what we do.  Being a part of this incredible team has helped me gain knowledge across a broad range of financial aspects including tax, insurance and most important of all, helping our clients achieve their goals.    

While I’m not directly involved in agriculture anymore, I still live in the country outside of Treherne and I have been rewarded with my amazing wife and two fantastic boys, who have all taught me so many things and helped make me who I am today.

Rylan.adam@manulifesecurities.ca

From a young age,  I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps and join the family business.  Once I graduated from high school,  I decided to pursue a diploma in business administration at Red River College.  I worked at the office during summer breaks from school,  and when I graduated from college I started working full time.  I started out as an assistant,  but in the spring of 2018,  I purchased Adam Accounting from my father and became a Financial Advisor with Adam Lee Financial.  

I believe that my knowledge in tax combined with investments and insurance is ideal for my career as a Financial Advisor.  There is no better feeling than building relationships with clients and being able to make a positive difference in their financial situation.    

I have always been close with my family and I love the family atmosphere around Adam Lee Financial.  When I’m not in the office I enjoy many different activities such as golf,  hockey,  Belgian bowling,  camping,  hunting and fishing.
