About Us
We’re a multi-generational, independent wealth and insurance advisory firm helping Southern Albertans and Canadians gain financial freedom and peace of mind since 1957.
A team of specialists under one roof
At Cox Financial Group, we’ve gathered a team of specialists who excel in their niches.
Together, our wealth advisors, insurance representatives and benefits and pension consultants work together to ensure each and every client receives unparalleled planning services.
Focused on cultivating relationships
We believe wealth plannings as much about fostering a trusting relationship as it is about maximizing financial gains. That’s why we work with a limited number of clients, sitting down with each to better understand goals and aspirations – families and teams – then tailor plans to fit.
Because the best plan is designed with you – your family, your goals – at the heart of it.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Cox Financial for both corporate (employee benefits and retirement plans), and for personal planning. They have always gone above and beyond to provide a great experience and value. Highly recommend!”
