Our Team

Isabelle Reid

Wealth Advisor

I am the firm hand that guides the team. My career in the financial industry began uniquely in that I studied law at university both passing the bar and obtaining my credentials as a notary. From there I began Master-levels studies. It was during that time that I began to look to the future and re-evaluate my career path. I have two enduring passions: a desire to constantly be working in an open environment where study and growth are encouraged and to work closely with people. The course of my career changed when I realized that I would better fulfill my desire for building relationships of substance outside of practicing law.

I joined BMO Nesbitt Burns in 1993 and to date have had one mandate: to provide my clients with the best possible solutions to their financial needs. It is a large mandate and one I take very seriously and do with great pleasure. But as important as my work is to me, I firmly believe in a life that is balanced. I strive for that balance by taking part in charitable events, being involved in my community, participating in sports, and enjoying my life with friends and family. A balance life makes a more happy and successful person, one able to give his or her best to everyone.
