Are you struggling under the weight of debt? Maybe its student loans from your education or overdue credit card payments? Whatever debt you find yourself fighting, Patrick Gill shares time tested strategies that will help you pay it off faster and save money. Strategies that if you implement, will help you make debt a friend again.

After honing his skills as a Financial Adviser, Patrick helped to pioneer the role of a Banking Consultant to one of Canada’s largest, financial institutions. He spent the next decade giving expert advice to countless industry professionals and institutions such as the Toronto Police Services and the Canadian Armed Forces. Companies like Sony Canada, Edward Jones, and Adidas Canada have benefited from his strategies in cash flow management. His radio interviews on TALK 640 have helped him to spread his message to many seeking financial advice. But his greatest and most rewarding contributions have been in changing the lives of thousands of Canadian families that he has helped in restructuring their debt, savings and day-to-day banking more efficiently. Now, as a Regional Vice-President, Patrick spends his time coaching and mentoring others to do the same.
