@ericmacdonald
I advise banking clients on investments, credit, portfolio risk, and wealth-management solutions.
What I'm looking for
At BMO, I deliver investment analysis and portfolio recommendations for retail and high-net-worth clients, aligning strategies with their risk tolerance and financial goals.
My banking experience at RBC and UNI Financial Cooperation includes advising clients on credit products, account structuring, digital banking, investment needs, documentation, compliance, and financial contracts. I use market trends, fund performance, asset allocation, and client risk profiles to support informed decisions.
I also founded and operate Serenity Landscaping for Seniors, managing cash-flow budgeting, contracts, client relationships, marketing, and digital advertising end-to-end. I increased annual revenue by 150% within one year and grew the recurring client base by 200% year-over-year.
I'm fully bilingual in English and French, IFIC-certified, a CFA Level I Candidate, and hold a BBA with Honours in Finance and a minor in Economics. I bring advanced Excel modeling, financial reporting, CRM/POS optimization, and a personal investment portfolio that has generated a 95% cumulative return to date.
