Cyrilla started in the financial services industry of providing "Financial calm and direction" to clients in 1996, mostly influenced by her interest in numbers and anything financial. She quickly learned that her love of helping people was her true motivator and passion thus, honed in on developing the skills required to do just that. In 2001, she created the "Saunders Wealth Advisory Group", a team uniquely focused on delivering to their clients the guidance they need the most:"management of the Financial Chaos that the accumulation of their efforts creates, and manage the efforts of their ambitions and goals to attain calm and purpose." Cyrilla manages her clients' wealth by utilizing a down to earth holistic approach, with the objective of getting to know her clients well enough to truly help them achieve their unique life goals. The team's clients include business owners of all walks of life: professionals, fisherman and farmers, retirees and independent women. Her desire to attain ongoing and up to date knowledge and expertise, along with her drive to do what's right, bodes well in providing forward thinking advice and guidance to those she helps.
