Benefits & Financial Services

At Waypoint Benefits & Financial Services (WBFS), we believe that successful and meaningful partnerships are built on understanding. Before offering our expertise, we take the time to listen—to truly understand your needs, goals, and challenges. This approach ensures our teams deliver best-in-class service and solutions uniquely crafted for each client.

We offer a complete portfolio of industry-leading services in group benefits and retirement consulting, third-party administration (TPA), wealth management, personal and corporate insurance, and financial and estate planning. For over four decades, our commitment has remained the same: to provide thoughtful, integrated solutions that help our clients thrive.

WBFS is the result of the partnership of two of Navacord’s leading partners in Western Canada, Dehoney Financial Group and Arbutus Financial Services. With offices in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Smithers, Courtenay, and Calgary, we have a strong local presence, backed by the depth and resources of a national network.

Navacord

In 2019, Waypoint became a proud partner of the Navacord group, a leading insurance and risk management brokerage firm dedicated to providing expert solutions to businesses across Canada.

At Navacord, entrepreneurship is in our DNA. Driven to grow their businesses and leverage scale without losing their identities to larger firms, industry leaders Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. and Lloyd Sadd Insurance Brokers, a third-generation family business, joined forces in 2014. The two established brands, with a proven track record for successful entrepreneurial growth and profitability, created Navacord to offer a unique ownership model and value proposition that benefits both clients and partners by combining a boutique experience with the backing and stability of a national firm.

This entrepreneurial spirit challenges the active M&A environment that has been changing the insurance landscape. Many small brokers are negatively impacted by acquisitions from large firms that strip them of their identity and local culture. Navacord preserves the independence of its partners, and builds on the deeply rooted, long-standing business relationships of its top experts and trusted advisors who are making a difference in the communities they serve.

Now one of the largest Canadian commercial insurance brokerages, with 90+ shareholders and growing, Navacord continues to aggressively pursue a forward-thinking approach to further enhance its sector expertise and help ensure clients’ success.
