41 HUB FINANCIAL JULY 2026 « The Canadian Business Journal 40 Andrew Fink, President, HUB Financial investment division aims for scale without sacrificing personalization. Strong national infrastructure paired with deep local support enables advisors to grow profitable, sustainable practices while ensuring clients receive advice that is objective, compliant, and aligned to their long-term goals. Strategic Priorities and Growth Without Cultural Compromise In a consolidating market, acquisitions are often pursued for scale. At HUB, scale is not the objective — strength is. “Culture is our north star when seeking new partners through acquisition,” says Fink. “It isn’t compromised, regardless of how lucrative a deal could be.” Rather than buying firms for arbitrage or aggregation, HUB targets organizations with strong historical performance, established sales cultures, and advisors who will actively leverage HUB’s resources and investments. Acquisitions must create a “1+1=3” effect, with each organization’s exceptional capabilities scaled across the broader platform. “We’re disciplined around getting better, not bigger. If we focus on being better, bigger will likely be a byproduct of that.” —Andrew Fink, President, HUB Financial “We’re disciplined around getting better, not bigger. If we focus on being better, bigger will likely be a byproduct of that,” Fink emphasizes.
