A strong sense of place has been a common thread throughout Matthew’s life. A love of the outdoors fostered since childhood grew into a deep appreciation for the tangibility of real estate, leading him to start his career in this industry in 1996.

Today, Matthew is an Ontario real estate expert with expertise in mortgage lending, administration, and investment management, as well as years of experience as a real estate broker and mortgage broker. He became CEO of W.A. Robinson after purchasing the company from his father in 2014.

Matthew leads his team’s efforts in solving two fundamental challenges: helping those who require capital to build or buy Canadian real estate and helping those with capital who are seeking a fixed-income solution that provides a reasonable return. These efforts are guided by Matthew’s small-town values, conservative investment philosophy, and commitment to relationships built on trust.

Matthew is responsible for the strategic direction of W.A. Robinson and Pillar Financial, as well as the operations of Frontenac Mortgage Investment Corporation. He is a Chartered Investment Manager and holds the Advising Representative designation with the Ontario Securities Commission.

As the new Director of Wealth Management of W.A. Robinson, Catherine has 12-years of hands-on experience in both operations and administration. Catherine is an energetic leader of program and process improvement and change management.

Catherine brings to W.A. Robinson her solid leadership skills and knowledge of registered and non-registered plans, the Income Tax Act, and legislative requirements as they pertain to the financial services industry.

Kevin graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) with Distinction in 1990 and was admitted to the membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario in 1993.

After having worked for five years as a Chartered Accountant with Wilkinson & Company LLP in Belleville, Ontario, Kevin spent the next five years as the Vice-President of Finance for the Cooney Transport Group of Companies where he oversaw the financial affairs of a group of 19 companies involved in international trucking operations with a real estate network of seven terminals located in Ontario and Quebec.

In 2000, Kevin was appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Hanley Group of Companies, also in Belleville, Ontario, where he oversaw the financial affairs of several companies involved in quick food service operations and managed an investment company.

Having always wanted to own his own business, he became a partner in The Loon’s Call Campground & Cottage Resort, a seasonal resort operation located in Cloyne, Ontario.

After leaving the Hanley Group of Companies in 2004, Kevin continued his accounting practice, assisting clients with business planning and financial matters in addition to providing traditional accounting and taxation services until June 2012 when he joined W.A. Robinson Asset Management as its full-time CFO. He also holds the CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) title.

When staff are successful in their journey with the company, the company succeeds. Trust, teamwork, and communication are the key components to the culture. A dynamic workplace will allow the company to attract talent as it continues to grow.

Since joining the company in 2002, she has experience in corporate accounting, personal finance, income tax preparation and investment management, earning her CIM designation and receiving the AR designation. She is responsible for the discretionary portfolio clients, working with them to obtain their goals and achieving the lifestyle they desire.

By developing one of the first MICs offered by prospectus in the country, Wayne has had a considerable impact on arguably one of the most emergent fixed-income products available today. His leadership, rational thinking, prudent underwriting and overall knowledge in the industry enabled him to create a one of a kind investing opportunity in Canada that is unmatched by today’s standards and ever increasing regulation.

Wayne was the owner and CEO of a petroleum company for 6 years and spent 6 years as a Director of the Eastern Ontario Development Corporation, an Ontario Crown Corporation, providing loans to developing and expanding businesses.
