Ed Rempel in the Media

I am a popular financial blogger with 25 years of experience as a fee-for-service planner professional and 36 years as a tax accountant.

I am considered on of the top 40 Money Influencers in Canada by Hardbacon.

My “Unconventional Wisdom” blog:

  • Awarded Top 50 Personal Finance Blog by Feedspot! I am the only full-service professional financial planner on the list! Feedspot is the most comprehensive list of best Canadian Personal Finance blogs on the internet from thousands on they index.
  • 2,500 unique viewers per month.
  • #1 financial blog in Canada for a full service financial planner.

My blog is a unique voice on among financial blogs. I have a ton of real-life experience. A prolific writer, I am passionate about sharing my insights. Disillusioned with the “conventional wisdom” often espoused by financial planners and the media, I prefer financial strategies proven to provide results over time. I steadfastly dislike “financial quackery” – financial advice that’s really just a sales pitch – and “placebo advice” – bad advice meant to make you feel good.

“To have unconventional success, you can’t be guided by conventional wisdom.” – David Swenson

I often guest post for leading financial publications and websites, and have been interviewed for many articles.
