Kitchener, ON (Sept. 10, 2026) \u2013 Financial Horizons, one of Canada\u2019s largest life and health managing general agents (MGA), is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Equisoft, a Canadian technology provider, for a centralized, fully integrated platform to enhance the capabilities of its independent advisor network. The investment is a foundational step in Financial Horizons\u2019 multi-year technology transformation that takes a phased approach through 2027.<\/p>\n
Financial Horizons is the first major Canadian MGA to partner with Equisoft to harness the platform\u2019s full capabilities to bring insurance and segregated funds operations together on a single system.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know the challenges independent advisors have faced piecing together client information, and this new partnership is an important step toward creating a single client picture,\u201d said Sean Downey, President & CEO of Financial Horizons. \u201cAs advisor and client expectations continue to evolve, we remain committed to investments that help advisors operate more efficiently today so they can spend more time with clients, strengthen relationships and continue growing their businesses for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The platform will centralize systems that advisors and Financial Horizons teams use every day, replacing fragmented processes with a single, integrated environment. With the full launch slated in 2027, advisors can expect improved reporting and dashboards, better data quality, greater automation and expanded self-service opportunities, reducing manual work and freeing up more time for client-facing advice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis technology shift will create benefits that reach beyond independent advisors,\u201d added Downey. \u201cTheir teams, clients and our national support teams will all benefit through faster support, stronger collaboration and more efficient problem-solving across our entire ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the support team specifically, this means now working in the same technology environment as advisors, which will create opportunities to better help advisors, including faster support, improved collaboration and more efficient problem solving.<\/p>\n
Financial Horizons selected Equisoft because of its commitment to innovation and its ability to deliver a flexible solution built for the evolving needs of the independent advisor marketplace, now and into the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy understanding and prioritizing the needs of independent advisors, Financial Horizons is setting a new standard for advisor support in Canada,\u201d said Luis Romero, Founder & CEO at Equisoft. \u201cThis partnership speaks to the strength of our platform and the years of insurance and wealth management expertise we\u2019ve built to support a transformation of this scale. We\u2019re proud to help bring that vision to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
