About Odyssey Wealth

Planning built around
the life you actually want.

We're a CIRO-regulated financial planning firm built on one conviction: that the best financial plan starts with understanding the life you're trying to fund — before touching a single number. We call it life-first planning. It's different from how most advisors work. That's the point.

Our story

We built the firm
we wished existed.

Odyssey Wealth was founded by Seun Adeyemi and Zacharie Sutton — two CFP® advisors who had each spent over a decade inside Canada's major financial institutions and saw the same pattern repeated: clients arriving at critical financial decisions without a complete picture, guided by advisors whose primary tool was a product, not a plan.

The clients weren't being failed through malice. They were being failed by a system designed around product distribution, not life planning. The advisor showed up with an RRSP. Or a seg fund. Or a mortgage. But nobody had ever asked the question that should come first: what does the life you're building toward actually look like?

A financial plan built around a portfolio is backwards. The portfolio is in service of the life. The life has to come first.

That conviction became Odyssey Wealth. We built the Life-First Blueprint™ — a five-movement planning process that starts with vision, builds the financial strategy around it, and stays relevant as life evolves. It's the process we wish our own families had been offered. It's what every client we work with now gets.

We operate virtually, serving clients across Canada. We are CIRO-regulated through Designed Wealth Management. And we are building a firm designed to deliver the same process — and the same quality of thinking — regardless of which advisor leads your engagement.

What we believe

Financial clarity creates freedom.

Not freedom to accumulate more — freedom to pursue the things that actually matter. To be generous. To care for the people you love. To step into the next chapter of your life with confidence, not anxiety.

What we're building

A process, not a personality.

Great planning shouldn't depend on which advisor you happened to meet. The Life-First Blueprint™ is a structured process that every Odyssey Wealth client goes through — delivering consistent thinking and consistent outcomes regardless of who leads your engagement.

What we're not

We're not a bank. We're not chasing commissions.

We're Certified Financial Planners who take a 360° view of your finances — investments, insurance, pension, taxes, real estate, and estate — and build a strategy that works as one coordinated plan. Not a collection of disconnected products sold by separate advisors who've never spoken to each other.

Our reach

Greater Toronto Area. Serving clients across Canada.

We are based in the Greater Toronto Area and serve clients across Canada, in-person or virtually. The Life-First Blueprint™ was designed for virtual delivery — focused, structured, and built for people who value their time.

"Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the first-fruits of all your produce."
Proverbs 3:9

This is the conviction that sits underneath everything we do. Not as a marketing line — as a personal commitment from the founders. We believe that wealth, stewarded well, can fund things that outlast us. That generosity paired with planning is more powerful than generosity alone. And that the clients who come to us deserve advisors who take that seriously.

What guides us

Planning with
purpose and intention.

Odyssey Wealth was built by advisors whose faith is not incidental to their work — it is foundational to it. We believe that meaningful financial impact often comes not from impulse, but from planning ahead. That generosity paired with wisdom, timing, and preparation can outlive us.

This shows up in how we ask questions before we recommend anything. It shows up in how we define "a successful retirement" — not just income and security, but legacy. What you leave behind. Who you were able to help. What you built that will continue after you.

We hold the Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®) designation — a credential for financial professionals who integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise. It informs our philosophy, not our client selection. We work with Canadians of all backgrounds who want a financial plan that accounts for the life they're trying to live — not just the portfolio they're trying to grow.

Why it matters

The people behind the work
are rarely the ones who get the credit.

The reason Odyssey Wealth exists isn't just good financial planning. It's what good financial planning makes possible — for the people who receive it, and for the world they choose to impact with it. These are the stories we return to.

Quiet stewardship. Lasting impact.

William Tyndale couldn't have done it
without Humphrey Monmouth.

William Tyndale is rightly remembered as the 16th-century reformer who translated the Bible into English — making Scripture accessible to ordinary people for the first time and laying the foundation for generations of readers to follow. What is less often told is that Tyndale's work would not have been possible without a successful merchant named Humphrey Monmouth.

Monmouth wasn't the one writing the pages. He wasn't the scholar or the translator. He was a businessman who quietly stood behind the scenes — funding Tyndale's work at great personal risk, sheltering him from persecution, absorbing the cost so that the mission could continue. Through wise stewardship of his resources and intentional generosity, Monmouth made it possible for Scripture to reach people who had never been able to read it before.

His name is not well known. His legacy is unmistakable.

We see this pattern repeated throughout history — and we believe it's still repeating today. Behind every significant mission, there are people who made it financially possible. People who understood that their resources were not just for their own security, but for something greater.

01
"His name is not well known. His legacy is unmistakable."
On Humphrey Monmouth — merchant, patron, steward
02
"I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied."
Philippians 4:18 — Paul, writing to his supporters
The original odyssey

Paul's journey was only possible because
people prepared the way.

The Apostle Paul travelled across the ancient world — planting churches, writing letters that would shape Christian theology for two thousand years, and enduring hardship on a scale most of us will never face. His journeys were an odyssey in the truest sense: long, costly, and consequential far beyond what anyone could have predicted at the outset.

Throughout his letters, Paul regularly acknowledged those who supported his mission financially. He spoke with gratitude of partners who shared in his work through their generosity — calling their gifts an act of partnership and faithfulness. Most of these supporters remain unnamed in the historical record. Their impact is not.

Their quiet provision helped lay the foundation for a message that would reach the world. They didn't write the letters. They didn't make the journeys. But without them, neither would have happened.

This is part of why we named this firm Odyssey Wealth. Because we believe the clients we serve are on their own odyssey — and that the resources they steward, managed well, can fund journeys far greater than their own.

"Meaningful impact often comes not from impulse, but from planning ahead. When generosity is paired with wisdom, timing, and preparation — it can outlive us."

This is why our focus is on helping clients plan intentionally — not just for income and security, but for legacy. Because the resources you steward today can become the support that enables something far greater tomorrow. We need many Humphrey Monmouths in our generation. Many Lydias. We are here to help you become one.
