Financial controller Jobs in Saanich, BC

Financial Representative

Build a Business. Build Relationships. Build a Career That Matters.

We have a lot to be proud of at Serenia Life Financial. For more than a century, we have helped Canadians protect the people and things that matter most while making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.

What makes Serenia Life Financial different is how we combine the independence and entrepreneurial opportunity of building your own financial services practice with the training, coaching, products, technology and experienced leadership team to help you grow.

Our Human. Kind. philosophy is more than a tagline. It reflects how we work with our clients, our communities and each other. We believe financial services should be personal, relationship-driven and built around helping people create greater financial security for themselves and their families.

For the right person, this is more than a sales role. It is an opportunity to build a long-term business, develop lasting client relationships, create significant income potential and make a meaningful impact.

If you are entrepreneurial, relationship-focused and motivated by building something of your own, we should talk.
