About Us

We’re a purpose-driven organization and a leading independent authority on financial health in Canada.

 

Seymour Management Consulting Inc. is a purpose-driven consulting firm and social enterprise, based in Vancouver Canada. Founded in 2009 by Eloise Duncan, Founder and CEO, we’re a nimble and growing enterprise, and proud members of the C.D. Howe Institute in recognition of the Index and our social enterprise innovation.

We’re a passionate, global team of strategists, statisticians, thinkers and creators, with deep expertise in financial services research, strategy, financial health, transformation and business.

With proven customer-led methodologies we help translate insights into strategy, and strategy into action. As creators of the Seymour Financial Resilience Index TM, we are the first and only organization to measure and track the financial well-being of Canadians as an independent authority, through the national longitudinal Financial Well-Being studies, first launched in 2017.

We continue to be leaders in the financial health space, and currently work with leading FIs, NPOs, policymakers and organizations to help create a better world.
