Who we are

A Canadian firm built for the moment a single advisor is no longer enough.

Ocean 6 was founded on a simple observation: the wealthiest, most accomplished Canadians often had the most fragmented financial lives. An accountant filing returns. A banker managing one account. An advisor managing another. Nobody connecting the dots.

We exist to fix that. CFP®-led. CIRO-regulated. Built around an advisory team model so every client gets coordinated planning, not one person stretched thin.

Backed by 40+ years of collective planning experience, serving 250+ entrepreneurs, incorporated professionals and families across Canada.

Jay Gangnes

Founder & Certified Financial Planner®

CFP® · CLU® · CSC®

Jay’s approach to problem-solving has always been unconventional. His grade eight math teacher wasn’t pleased when he would come up with alternative ways of solving problems, instead of doing them the way he was supposed to. This trait evolved into what his firm describes as higher-level innovative thinking, which defines Ocean 6’s philosophy.

As founder, Jay focuses on understanding business owners’ complete financial situations and developing innovative approaches to reduce tax burden, grow wealth, and facilitate generational wealth transfers. He holds a corporate finance degree from the BC Institute of Technology and maintains professional certifications as a Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Life Underwriter, and Certified Cash Flow Specialist.

Beyond work, Jay prioritizes travel (particularly Hawaii), time with his children Leo and Ever, and mentoring other advisors. His personal mission extends beyond professional success: he aspires to make a profound difference.
