Christian Bruneau, CIWM, BBA, F. Pl

Passionate by numbers since a very young age, Edith graduated from the Université de Montreal (UdeM) with a bachelor's degree in economics and steadily worked her way up the ranks. 

She earned an Achievement Award by the Canadian Securities Institute when completing the Certified International Wealth Manager (CIWM) designation in 2021.  

But its not all! To strengthen her management skills, Edith pursued an executive MBA at Université du Québec à Montreal (UQAM) and Paris Dauphine University in France.

Later on, Edith gained a lot of experience through her various management positions as a trader on the Montréal Exchange, a bond trader for a large brokerage firm, and later as a portfolio manager.

In 2008, she co-founded Beaucage Bruneau Groupe Conseil with Christian Bruneau, a colleague who has long shared her vision of financial planning and wealth management. Together, they run their teams like a boutique firm, each with their own specialty, perfectly complementing one another according to the highly specialized needs of the families they serve.

Edith excels at problem solving. She stands out for her risk management skills and human approach to numbers. It's her knowledge of the finest details, the small differences between one decision and another, that puts her in such good stead with clients who are managing significant family assets.

Above all else, she works to protect the well-being of her clients and their loved ones: it's her driving force. Her actions are guided by their interests. Her work isn't done on an hourly basis, like many other professionals, but rather as a series of concerted decisions with the clear objective of building wealth, for the greater benefit of the people who created it.

Her background gives her a unique perspective and approach, an almost unrivaled combination of skills and knowledge that she has put to work for her clients for more than 3 decades. And there's nothing else she'd rather do!

Her deepest wish is to reconcile women with their finances, because we can all gain something by taking an interest in our assets and financial security.

 "Managing the nuances of an ecosystem that combines finance, people and expertise is a huge privilege and I love every day of it."

While she has a talent for finance, Excel sheets and never-ending columns of numbers, Edith also likes to let loose. Especially out in the countryside. She and her partner run a small farm with their young children, where they grow organic vegetables.

Edith is an amateur foodie who is passionate about organic farming. Her favourite moments are when everyone is happily gathered around the table, creating beautiful memories for a future that she hopes will be comfortable for all of them.

You can count on her to make that happen.

Sophia joined Beaucage Bruneau Advisory Group almost three years ago. She collaborates on day-to-day wealth management activities, coordinates operations and helps clients achieve their financial goals and dreams.

After graduating from HEC Montréal’s trilingual Bachelor of Business Administration program in 2021 with a specialization in finance, Sophia began her career at Desjardins, where she put her knowledge of stock markets, financing and wealth management into practice. She joined Beaucage Bruneau because the founders’ human values—making family a priority, cultivating authentic relationships and demonstrating a sincere commitment to clients’ well-being—are closely aligned with her own convictions.

Sophia has always pursued excellence. She stood out at a student exchange in Copenhagen, where she won an award for her leadership abilities and dedication.

She aspires to make finance more accessible and to encourage women to take an active interest in the field. An ambitious professional driven by a desire to learn new things, Sophia is passionate about the outdoors, travel and world cuisine … and never backs down from a game of volleyball.
