About Us
Welcome to MaxSask, where we’ve been empowering Saskatchewan residents with robust financial solutions. Our mission is simple yet profound: to maximize your financial potential while embracing the unique spirit of our prairie province.
Our Story
MaxSask was born from a vision shared by three Saskatchewan natives – Emily Thorne, Michael Running Bear, and Sarah Kowalski. Having witnessed firsthand the specific financial challenges faced by both urban and rural communities in our province, they set out to create a financial services company that truly understood and catered to the needs of Saskatchewan people.
Starting with a small office in Saskatoon, we’ve grown to serve clients across the province, from the bustling streets of Regina to the serene farmlands of Rosetown. Our growth is a testament to our commitment to personalized service and our deep understanding of the Saskatchewan financial landscape.
Our Approach
At MaxSask, we believe that financial success is not just about numbers – it’s about understanding your unique situation, goals, and the economic environment of Saskatchewan. Our approach combines:
- Local Expertise: Our team is composed of Saskatchewan locals who understand the nuances of our economy, from agriculture cycles to resource sector fluctuations.
- Customized Solutions: We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re a farmer in Wynyard, a small business owner in Moose Jaw, or a professional in Saskatoon, we tailor our services to fit your specific needs.
- Technology-Driven Insights: While we value traditional Saskatchewan values, we also embrace cutting-edge financial technologies to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date financial advice.
- Education-First Mindset: We’re committed to financial literacy. Our regular workshops and seminars aim to empower Saskatchewan residents with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions.
