For Ian Ardill, every day starts the same way: with him asking, “How do I create thegreatest amount of value and respect for the people I am working with?”It is a focus that comes from deep within him: in his previous career, he spent 15 yearsas a minister. Pastoring a church with an undergrad and master’s in Theology, helearned very distinctly that relationships with people must be put above anything else.As Ian says, “There is nothing more joyful to me than developing a deep understandingof my client. What are their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations, what makes themfearful, what gets them excited – and then how do I walk with them through thatjourney, so I can create that greatest amount of value?”At Ardill Group, creating that value is categorically a team approach. Ian’s experienceleading teams as a pastor is put to very good use as a wealth advisor – in building anunmatched ecosystem of expertise for clients. It’s all about finding Just the right matchfor your money – on a number of levels. For example, the Ardill Group mission is to findjust the right match of experts and solutions for their clients – clients who celebratethem for taking the time to carefully do so.Ian also helps clients see their money differently. He helps them see a range ofopportunities they did not previously know were available to them – again, finding themjust the right match.Now in the process of succeeding his father John, who has been a powerfully formativeinfluence, Ian is the second generation of leadership at Ardill Group. Together, Ian andJohn have more than 50 years of experience advising their clients.As Ian puts it, “Our reason for being is to walk our clients through their financial lives.Now it’s my job to continue that journey.”
