History

  • Ees Timeline Montreal
    1968: The birth of E.E.S.

    Seeing a need for personalized and effective settlement of smaller estates, John Gibson established E.E.S. in Montreal under the name Executive Estate Services Ltd.

  • Ees Timeline Founder
    1968: The Founder of Fee-Only Financial Planning

    While settling estates, it became clear to Gibson that intelligent and successful individuals did not always handle their financial affairs to their most profitable advantage. With that, a new avenue of client service was opened to the fledgling company – personal financial planning. In providing objective, experienced, 'fee only' financial planning, analysis, counsel and advice to executives in 1968, Gibson became the pioneer of truly objective financial planning in Canada.

  • Ees Timeline Toronto
    1979: New Beginnings

    With the emergence of Toronto as the business and financial capital of the country, Gibson relocated his corporate headquarters to Toronto. In keeping with the company's steady growth as financial planning specialists, offices were maintained in Montreal.

    1993:  Abbreviated Name, Increased Focus on Financial Planning

    To more closely reflect the growing financial planning practice of the company, the Executive Estates Services part of the company's official name was de-emphasized in favour of E.E.S. Financial Services Ltd. in 1993.

    2000: A New Home in The Digital World

    With computers dramatically impacting how traditional in-person business might be conducted, the company relocated its headquarters to Markham, Ontario, a growing suburb of Toronto. The new, three-building head office, nestled in a four-and-a-half acre campus-like setting, is ideally poised for continued growth and expansion as they enter the new millennium.

Shelley Martin

President & CEO, Nestlé Canada

When John Gibson, founder of E.E.S., moved his business from Montreal to Toronto, I became a personal client of his in 1980.  I was at this time the President of Ortho Pharmaceutical (Canada, Ltd.) – a Johnson and Johnson Company.  I have remained a client of E.E.S. to this day, which includes having increased responsibilities within J&J and my retirement from the corporation in 1995.  I was so satisfied with the services I received that I opened the door to have access to E.E.S. for my Board of Directors.  E.E.S. supplied financial planning and advice services for many of my staff. 

Scott Gibson eventually took over my account and continues to guide me  -- profitably, I should add – in areas of tax planning and investment opportunities.  The support staff at E.E.S. are equal to meeting the high standard of performance I have come to expect from this company.  If I have one regret, it’s that I did not start with E.E.S. earlier than 1980!

E.E.S. Financial Services helped our family redefine our financial goals with a realistic balance between investing for our future and enjoying a nice lifestyle. E.E.S. Financial provides a truly proactive 360 approach to planning and wealth management including tax advice, investment advice, estate planning and most importantly education planning for our children.  I would not enjoy the lifestyle I have today nor be confident in my financial future if it had not been for becoming a client of E.E.S. Financial.

Hospitals aren’t normally places for parties, but when John and Diane Gibson contributed their donation to Markham Stouffville Hospital, there were a million reasons to celebrate. In 2008, E.E.S. donated 1 million dollars to the hospital in support of the facility’s expansion and redevelopment.
