Jay Stark

Jay Stark has been successfully advising individuals, families and business owners on how to significantly reduce their income and estate taxes for more than 18 years. His presentations further expand on these key strategies and take full advantage of the tax incentives our government has created to encourage charitable giving. His counsel and expertise have helped hundreds of families in the Saskatoon area realize their goals of giving back and create a lasting legacy.

Impacting a number of different communities in a positive way has always been important to Jay. From meeting his family’s sponsored child in Nicaragua through Compassion Canada, to being a Kinsmen member and working behind the scenes on their Telemiracle committee where he experienced first hand the impact on families that have benefited from special needs equipment and access to expensive medical treatments. Jay’s community involvement extends even further as the past chair of the Lakeview Church Board and of the Free Methodist Foundation of Canada Board as well as the past co-chair of the KHL – an inner city hockey program targeting children that would not normally have the opportunity to play the sport. Jay is a United Way Leaders of the Way contributor and was also instrumental in the development of the SFG Field of Interest Community Fund, established in December 2010 to provide benefits in perpetuity for children and youth in the Saskatoon area, and also the SFG Pay It Forward Fund established in 2014.

Jay also gives back to his family by coaching and supporting his daughter’s sports teams, most recently his youngest daughter’s flag football team. As well he encourages social awareness and support within their family by developing a family plan that donates to local and global charities. Jay and Sheri have been married for over 17 years and have two teenage daughters, Alexandra and Sydney, and their family dog, Ginger.
