Pat Weir
She’s all about giving back. Not only is Pat Weir one of Saskatchewan’s best known and trusted personal financial advisors, she also works hard at making the world a better place by donating her time generously both at home and abroad.
Pat is an established leader in Saskatchewan’s financial planning industry. She achieved both the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation as well as the prestigious Registered Financial Planner certification more than 20 years ago.
Prior to establishing her own practice she worked with national and regional financial and investment houses but chose to provide her own brand of individualized service where clients are real people with real dreams, not just account numbers. As principal of her own practice in Prince Albert she has assisted hundreds of clients to develop personal financial goals and make them happen.
She has become particularly skilled at helping women achieve their financial objectives. While her practice is not devoted exclusively to female clients, her thoughtful and accountable approach has made her the advisor of choice for many women in throughout the province.
Pat served on the board and ultimately served as chair of the Saskatchewan Pension Plan, a first-of-its-kind voluntary pension plan aimed at individuals who do not have the benefit of a workplace pension plan. She is also an advisor member on the board of Value Partners Group Inc.
An active community member, Pat has served as a director of the Saskatchewan Research Council. She also previously served on the boards of a local women’s shelter, the local gymnastics club and provincial alpine ski association.
Her passion for helping others has also taken her to the disputed border areas of Thailand and Burma. Each year she spends time on the ground in this developing region, devoting her time and resources to help people affected by decades of conflict and oppression.
Darcie Doell
Darcie is a go-getter. She is always looking for ways to go above and beyond for her colleagues and our clients.
Darcie has built her career and her education from the ground up, working her way up to a variety of investment certifications in 2008-2009. She’s not stopping there: She is a life-long learner who is eager to soak up information on the latest trends and intelligence in the industry.
Her career has taken the same sort of ground-up trajectory, starting as an administrative assistant in the late 1990s and moving up through a series of progressively more challenging administrative roles. Before joining Pat’s team eight years ago, she was the manager of the Prince Albert Youth Soccer Association.
Soccer has also been a passion for Darcie outside of work. Darcie was appointed to the Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) in 2010 for a two year term. She played an intricate role on the Finance and Audit Committee. Under her watch, policies and procedures were re-defined and changes to the overall accounting processes were implemented. She assisted with this non-profit organization’s budget, strategic plan and general operations. She continues to be a liaison with the SSA board and is currently on its Membership and Resolution Committee.
Darcie is licensed in mutual funds, segregated funds and insurance. She is currently completing her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation.
Laurianne Osmak
Laurianne is a financial advisor who is passionate about helping women gain greater control and responsibility over their financial life.

- Create your Life Stage Plan, which will give you the confidence and clarity to begin your journey to becoming financially savvy.
