Get to know us better!

Our story

Curtis and Tara incorporated Skyward Financial in March 2021, as a solution to rising financial misinformation and insecurity across Canada. It was during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and with Curtis in Vancouver, Canada and Tara in Dubai, UAE, over countless Zoom calls, early mornings and late nights, Skyward came to life, and the rest is history.

Our approach

Financial Advising

Have you ever been bothered by bank advisors ‘requiring’ you to come into the branch for simple things, like opening an investment account? We’re sick of that too!

Skyward Financial is a 100% online financial advisory practice, and we can help you with everything from banking to investing and insurance while you’re staying comfortable at home.

Financial Education

We also know there is a lot of financial misinformation and scams out there, and we provide a solution to all that through our education-based approach. Whether we’re meeting for the first time or working together as advisor-client continually, we ALWAYS educate you and explain the rationale behind our recommendations. You can feel secure with a reliable advisor who always shows you the whole picture.
