We help you get more, so you can give more, and ultimately, just do what you love.

Bily was referred to me by a family member. I'm not that well versed in investing and he was able to explain everything very clearly. He communicated quickly and clearly and made a lot of time to make sure I understood what I was investing in. I'd recommend his services to anyone that is looking for an investment/insurance advisor that they can trust.

Lyen L - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Advisor

I've known Bily for a good few years now, he is definitely someone who I can fully trust and rely on because of the person he is. He is a man who seeks other people's interests, I've personally experienced and witnessed how much he cares for people and how well he takes care of them. His intelligence simply amazes me and he is always striving for excellence, not to mention he has great work ethics. There is no reason why I wouldn't find him to take care of my investments. He is a blessing to my life.

Elizabeth C - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Advisor

Bily has been helping me for the past year to get my financial things in order since I've never bothered with investments or financial planning in the past. He was very straightforward and explained that I had many financial planning options to choose from and he advised me on what would make the most sense for my situation. He was very thorough, detailed, knowledgeable and gave me the sense that my financial planning was in good hands. He doesn't try to up sell or make you buy options you don't need. I feel like I have a good financial foundation now both in knowledge and finances.

Seak Pek C - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Planner

Financial management was never our forte. We just did the average RRSP/TFSA contributions and never really understood where our money was going. We've always dealt with the banks prior to meeting Bily. Let's just say the experience was a lot different. Bily took the time to explain a lot of things that the bank reps never did. I feel more confident in where my money is invested now and I'm glad we made the switch to Mobius Wealth.

Mom W - - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Advisor

Financial planning has never been an area of interest for me; however, with a family and 2 young kids I understood that it was necessary to have a good plan in place. I am glad we have Bily.

Overall, I have confidence that Bily has our personal interests at heart and would recommend him to anyone as a financial advisor.

Becky C - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Planner

Had a brief but very informative consultation with Bily and i couldn't be more happy with the advice he has given me.

I really am pleased with his level of clarity and professionalism he displays, he managed to clearly give me a better understanding of my investment and savings options and so far its been sound financial advice. Look no further, Bily is your guy when it comes to getting your finances in order :)

Walter E - A Client Worked With Our Vancouver Financial Advisor

I've never thought about getting financial planning before I was introduced to Bily. I am self-employed and run a local rodent control company in Burnaby so it doesn't have complex finances that I can't handle. But my friend mentioned Billy offered comprehensive financial planning services and that helped him tremendously. That's why I gave it a try and had an consultation with Bily. During the meeting, we covered quite a few goals that I wanted to achieve and he already offered a few suggestions. It's been a year now and I am very pleased with his services. It's great to have a trustworthy financial planner looking after your finances. I would definitely recommend Billy if you want to achieve any financial goals.
