I’m proud to make a difference in people’s lives. I like puzzles. Every Client’s life situation is a different puzzle that needs help being put together. I enjoy being able to tell Clients they’re on track to meeting their goals.
As a business owner, husband and parent, I can appreciate the different directions that life pulls you. I can help you by creating a financial plan to ensure your long and short-term priorities are in in focus. I’m proud to hold the following designations:
- CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®),
- Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP)
- Certified Life Underwriter (CLU®),
- Certified Health Specialist (CHS™)
- Bachelor of Commerce Degree (B.Comm.).
This helps me give personalized and comprehensive advice to help you with tax planning, risk protection and wealth accumulation. Let’s connect, and we’ll discuss how I can help you solve your puzzle.

Barb Buryn
I’ve always considered myself to be an educator, and I’m passionate about providing financial information to help people reach their goals. As a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®), I’ve learned that careful planning for your financial future provides real peace of mind. I’m committed to helping Clients increase their financial literacy, allowing them to make educated decisions about their future.
I’ve seen many changes in the financial service industry over the length of my 42-year career and can appreciate the importance of having a “navigator” to help keep you on the right track. As part of the team at Symphony Financial Solutions, I am certain we are well positioned to help guide you on your financial journey.
I have enjoyed 42 years of marriage to my wonderful husband and have been blessed with 4 children (or outlaws” as we fondly refer to them) and 4 grandchildren. We have a large extended family and I cherish spending time together with all of them. My interests include playing the piano and singing in a choir, puttering in my flower garden and camping in the great outdoors. We enjoy cheering on our grandchildren in everything they do, and in between all of this, we try to fit in exploring the world.

Sebastian Kalff
When I was 12, I read The Fear Index, a novel about an AI-powered hedge fund that sparked my fascination with finance and trading. That early interest shaped my journey, leading me to graduate from the Ivey Business School at Western University in 2022. During my time there, I was actively involved in a tech startup in Toronto, gaining hands-on experience in innovation and entrepreneurship. Eager to take on my next challenge, I joined Symphony Financial in 2024 to pursue my passion for finance.
My multicultural upbringing in London, England, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has given me the ability to connect with Clients from diverse backgrounds, particularly new Canadians. I typically work with young professionals and families who are taking their first steps toward securing their future—whether it’s starting their financial journey, building wealth, buying their first home, or launching a business.
Outside of work, my partner Tori and I enjoy walking our dogs and travelling to new countries. I’m also passionate about fitness, gaming, poker, and staying informed on current affairs. Let’s connect and start planning your future today!

Since 2016, I have worked in the financial services industry in various roles. I believe it’s important for Clients to be knowledgeable about their financial future. My hope is that after working with our team, Clients feel empowered. I support our team in many ways such as administration and assisting Clients with their financial questions and concerns.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our young child. We love exploring and getting outside. I love doing winter activities with my family, including sledding, skating, and skiing. I'm also a long-time vegetarian and I love trying veggie options at local Edmonton restaurants.

Ashlee Buryn
I've been working with Sun Life work ten years. In my role with Symphony Financial, I provide administrative support to our team. Since I am at the beginning of my own financial journey, I can relate to others in this situation. I want the Clients we work with to trust us and feel comfortable with our team. I enjoy helping Clients reach a comfortable financial situation.
I live in Fort McMurray with my spouse, our cat and dog. I love spending time with my siblings as well as my niece and nephews. In my free time I enjoy reading, playing sports, being outside and gardening.

Elizabeth Boudreau
As an Advisor Assistant, my role is to be the first point of contact for Clients. I joined Symphony Financial in 2018 and have helped build the business. Prior to joining the team, I worked in call centres, as a mortgage agent and as an advisor. These experiences gave me the skills that I still use today. I’m passionate about helping ensure Clients gain financial education and knowledge to help them with planning their futures. I really enjoy helping others and getting to know the Clients we work with.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Travelling is a passion of mine and I enjoy doing that with my family. To stay active, I spend time swimming, biking and walking. I grew up in the Maritimes and the ocean is a big part of my life.
