About Lionel Johnson

Lionel has worked in the finance industry for over 40 years. He began his career in the mortgage industry providing over 500 mortgages for his clients, many of which were first-time home buyers. It was during that time Lionel realized he had a distinct passion for working with people and helping them secure a solid foundation of home ownership to secure their financial future.
In 2022, Lionel moved to Optimize Wealth Management, a next generation in premier wealth management, whereby success is based on how well financial goals are achieved. He provided clients with personalized financial solutions to help them at every stage of their lives. This included financial planning, tax preparation, insurance solutions, debt management, and estate planning
Lionel and his wife enjoy life on Salt Spring Island practicing sustainability with a small hobby farm with an orchard, nut trees and vegetable gardens. The couple have chickens, honeybees and grow as much of their own food as possible.
Lionel gives back to the community by volunteering his time and knowledge as Executive Treasurer with the Salt Spring Island Conservancy. This awesome charitable organization protects and enhances the natural values of their beautiful island and its surrounding waters. The group acquires land or covenants, and educates landholders and the public towards improved stewardship.

We have in-house tax and will specialists that can prepare all of your clients’ tax returns as well as their wills. We also have Mortgage and Insurance specialists when needed and all of that augments our core Financial Planning and Portfolio Management services. We built our Platform with the belief that technology could make the financial management process simpler, more transparent, and more cost-effective for clients. It has quickly become clear to us that these services when provided alongside our in-house technology enables financial professionals to deliver significant value to their clients well above the industry norms, which empowers them to grow their business exponentially.

The financial services industry has seen a significant amount of change over the last two decades. What hasn’t changed is that ethical professionals are earnestly running wealth management practices centered on putting their clients’ interest first. Unfortunately, the growth initiatives and the seemingly endless bureaucratic and one-sided directives from many dealers have slowly put them at odds with this principle. Discover how we can work with you to break past your ceiling of complexity, simplify your business and unlock new opportunities. As your partner, we’ll help you deliver an exceptional client experience – one that not only cements client loyalty but also drives new business. 

We’ll show you how to streamline your processes, increase productivity and grow your bottom line. When you join Optimize Wealth, you become part of a team with one common goal, to help our Financial Professionals build a better business while providing your clients with expert financial advice. The major difference at Optimize Wealth is that we measure our teams’ success based on how well they help their clients achieve their goals rather than based on how much commissions or revenues they generate from their clients.

Whether you want to refine your client segmentation strategy, focus on niche markets, or define your own succession plan, we’re here for you. We’ll work with you to build scale in your business, implement proven growth strategies, maximize the value of your business, or map your exit plan. Through it all, we’ll help you ensure your clients continue to get the attention they deserve.
