Toronto, ON – Q Wealth Partners is proud to welcome TIER Wealth, a distinguished Canadian financial planning firm, as the newest addition to its national partnership. This marks a significant milestone for Q Wealth as it continues to attract Canada’s top-tier financial advisory talent.

TIER Wealth is led by Aaron Hector, President of the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners (IAFP), and widely regarded as one of Canada’s most accomplished financial planners. Joining Aaron is IAFP Board Member Jen Schmid, a respected advisor known for her values-based, client-first approach to financial planning. Together, they bring a deep commitment to fiduciary advice, planning excellence, and service integrity.

Hector shares:
“I joined Q Wealth because of a shared set of priorities and beliefs. Jen and I were drawn to a firm that proudly uses the word fiduciary in its client relationships. Q’s technology and tools are top-tier, but what matters most is the team behind them — approachable, receptive, and focused on finding solutions. What excites me most is the full support to prioritize what matters to our clients: Tax, Investments, Estate Planning, and Retirement Planning.

This transition isn’t about starting over; it’s about building on what we’ve done and making it even better. A couple of months in, I can confidently say the transition has gone very well. The support and responsiveness from Q Wealth’s executive and transition teams have exceeded expectations. I haven’t second-guessed our decision for a moment. It was absolutely the right one.”

Joining Aaron in founding TIER Wealth is Jen Schmid, whose financial expertise is rooted in integrity and a lifelong commitment to preparation. Jen discovered her passion for personal financial planning in 2014 and has since built a reputation for delivering holistic, client-first strategies across retirement, tax, estate, and investment planning. She holds the CFP® and R.F.P. designations and currently serves on the board of the Institute of Advanced Financial Planners.

Schmid shares:
“I’ve always believed in independent advice that’s truly in the best interest of clients — the real advice that you would give to your own family members. Partnering with Q Wealth has meant that I can live that belief every day with like-minded people that take their fiduciary duty just as seriously as I do.”

Jared Rabinowitz, Chief Executive Officer of Q Wealth Partners, commented:
“Aaron and Jen are among the most trusted and principled advisors in the country. Their leadership and commitment to fiduciary excellence align perfectly with Q Wealth’s vision for the future of wealth management in Canada. We’re honoured to welcome them into our partnership.”

Stephen Gasparek Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Business Development at Q Wealth Partners, added:
“Aaron and Jen embody exactly what we look for in Q Wealth Partners. They represent the highest standard of planning-first advisors, bringing true fiduciary duty to the forefront of their practice. Both are deeply engaged in mentoring the next generation of advisors, and they exemplify the family- and community-centered values that define our culture. We’re thrilled to welcome them and look forward to the meaningful contributions they’ll bring to our partnership in the years ahead.”
