Kevin Moniz started Vida Financial Group in North York to give families the kind of advice he wished more people had: patient, personal and easy to follow.

Why “Vida”

“For me, financial planning has never been simply about money. It’s about people, families, purpose and being a good steward of what we’ve been given.”

Kevin Moniz, Founder

“Vida” is Spanish and Portuguese for life. The name is a reminder that a plan is never really about the numbers. It is about the people at your kitchen table, the work you put in, and what you hope to leave behind.

Today Vida is a small team of advisors in North York. We help individuals, families and business owners with insurance, investments, retirement, tax and estate planning, and we stay with them as life changes.

What we stand for

Four values we come back to

Stewardship

What you have was entrusted to you. We help you care for it well, now and for the next generation.
Integrity

We tell you the truth about your options, even when the right answer is to change nothing.
Family

We plan for everyone at the table, not just the person whose name is on the account.
Generosity

Money does the most good when it is shared. We help you give in ways that reflect what you believe.

The team

Advisors who know you by name

We are small on purpose. When you call, you reach someone who already knows your story.

Kevin John Moniz

Founder & Financial Planner

For me, financial planning has never been simply about money. It is about people, families, purpose and being a good steward of what we have been given.

I believe great planning starts with understanding the person before the numbers. Every client has a different story and a different vision for the future. My role is to listen, understand what truly matters and turn those priorities into a clear plan.

My approach is rooted in education, integrity and long-term relationships. My faith shapes how I live, lead and serve, and it has taught me the value of stewardship and humility.

My mission is simple: to educate, empower and inspire people to build with purpose and create a legacy that reaches far beyond wealth.

Faith Jonkman

Financial Advisor & Investment Representative

I grew up learning about personal finance and saw early how few people get that chance. That is why I became an advisor: to share what I know and help build a stronger community, one family at a time.

In a world full of information overload, I aim to be direct, clear and practical. I love teaching financial literacy, leading workshops and helping the next generation set themselves up well.

Michael Wine

Insurance Advisor

After more than twenty-five years in client service, I know every family and business is different. I help clients plan for tomorrow so they can enjoy today, with insurance and financial plans built around their goals.

Outside work you will find me coaching my son's hockey team, walking my dog Toby, or cheering on the Leafs.
