Graeme Ross

Mumin Basic, CFP®, RRC®

Mumin Basic, CFP®, RRC®

Financial Advisor

  Graeme has always been gifted in providing unique solutions to problems. Starting his financial career selling stocks and bonds in the late 1970’s, Graeme has had a tremendous amount of experience in the industry. After years of involvement with capital markets under his belt, Graeme ventured into business consulting. As a business consultant for over 15 years in both the private and public sector, Graeme earned the title ‘Mr. Fix It’ from the various clients he had worked with. He was tasked with learning how a business runs (from A to Z) and then provide solutions on how to make that business more profitable. Apart from his expertise in software and technology, what really helped Graeme be an integral partner to his clients was his foundational understanding of finance and the tax code. Graeme’s constant thirst for knowledge in taxation helped set him apart from other experts. In 2009, he joined Goodfellows Financial as the in-house tax specialist, licensed advisor for both mutual funds and insurance, and in turn helped grow the business further. Since retiring his speedos and ski tights, Graeme enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife Debra and their 6 dogs, along with hunting, golfing and fishing.

Cody Weber

Mumin Basic, CFP®, RRC®

Michael (Mike) Jodouin, CFP®, CIM, FMA

Financial Advisor

    Cody’s sights were set on finance when he was introduced to the boardgame Monopoly; ‘Banker’ was his fist job title. He had a good understanding of numbers, and the picture they can paint. While earning his Honours Degree in Business Administration (with a focus on Finance), Cody immersed himself in the Financial Services workforce and began his real-life experience. Cody has been in the Financial Service industry for over 8 years, and more recently, he’s been working diligently towards earning his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation. Cody is passionate about a wholistic approach when it comes to financial advice. Not only is he passionate about helping clients in their financial journey, but he also believes in giving back to the community. After participating in several local community out-reach programs, Big Brothers Big Sisters really struck a chord with Cody. Cody has been a mentor and proud Big Brother to Leo for the past several years. The duo are even Ambassadors for our local chapter! They meet on a weekly basis and spend time doing a few of their favourite things; hiking, playing board games and cooking. As Cody says “it gives me some practice for when I am lucky enough to have my own kids!” Cody’s passion for helping others in the community aligns perfectly with our philosophy and is a welcomed addition to the team.

Michael (Mike) Jodouin, CFP®, CIM, FMA

  Insurance Advisor 

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®

   Finance was at the forefront of Mike’s career path since he could remember. His mother made the difficult decision to give up her career in nursing when she started a family with her husband. Tragedy struck and Mike lost his father at the age of 8 and understood quickly what it meant to struggle financially. Unfortunately, there was no life insurance benefit from the death of his father and little income coming into the household, Mike experienced first-hand how significant insurance (or lack there of) plays a role in a family’s struggle. Right out of school, Mike earned his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) designation and vowed to himself that he, his future family (and any other family he meets along the way), will never have to endure those hardships if he had any say in it. With a Client First philosophy, Mike provides customized planning in the security of wealth to our clients. Mike says it well; “I am a by-product of my circumstances in life. My job is to ensure I can deliver some light during a families’ darkest time. It helps preserve the integrity of the family unit, the families’ future and it just feels good knowing I’m making a positive difference in someone’s life”. Mike loves connecting with nature (especially on a golf course), spending time with his beautiful wife Rizza and daughter Arya and is a huge sports fan (especially Martial Arts).

Serving our community

  At Basic Financial Services, we are advocates in helping people build their future their way. Unfortunately, some people just don’t have much input in their future. That’s why we believe in serving our community by donating a portion of our profits to Autism Ontario (Niagara Chapter). Autism Ontario (Niagara Chapter) is one organization that we feel particularly connected to. Aside from enhancing awareness about autism in our community, the Niagara Chapter works diligently in holding various fundraising events, runs programs and events for individuals with ASD and their families to get involved, socialize and network. Their hard work helps create a better future for those with Autism and their families. Our clients feel we make an impact in their futures, so why not make an impact on the futures of those with specials needs?
