Our singular focus is on enabling the financial success of our clients. We provide personalized financial solutions that allow them to achieve their success.
We believe in advice, and we know our clients benefit by having access to professional financial advice that they can use to make better financial decisions. For over 50 years we’ve been doing the same thing: working with clients to help them save and grow their investments so they can fund important priorities in life: retirement, education, charitable giving, and senior living.
We believe in knowing and understanding our clients because this is at the core of what we do. Knowing our clients means helping them uncover what’s important to them in life and how they define success. Then we work to craft a financial road map and select financial solutions that lead to success. We know investments and have access to many of the very best investment managers in the world.
Thomson Allison is a financial advisory practice that provides independent financial advice. We are registered through Investia Financial Services Inc., a mutual fund dealer and a division of IA Financial Group.
Our History
Roy Thomson first began his career as a financial advisor in 1968. He believed a diversified, liquid and transparent investment vehicle such as a mutual fund was best for his clients and would enable them to have security and prosperity over the long term. In 1975 he became a fully independent financial advisor. This independence enabled him to recommend investments he believed were best for his clients.
In 1994 Roy’s son Stuart joined the business and in 2004 the firm relocated to 450 Frederick Street in Kitchener.
In 2015 Craig Allison joined Stuart as a partner and the firm changed its trade name to Thomson Allison Financial Solutions – a new name to better support our long-standing, enduring relationships. In 2018 Stuart retired and we relocated to a larger office space in the village of St. Jacobs to accommodate our growing team.
Today, Thomson Allison continues to operate as a financial advisory practice that provides independent financial advice. We are a small firm by design, believing that our size enables us to remain focused on what's most important: the financial success of our clients.
