Mike Kalinka BA, MBA, CFP®, CLU, RRC, CPCA
Mike works predominantly with affluent families, including primary client relationships with business owners, executives and high-income professionals, and pre-retirees/retirees. His education and experience have been heavily focused on advanced investment, tax, insurance, and legacy planning strategies that have a significant impact on these groups.
At the ultra-high-net-worth level, Mike specializes in advanced planning including the involvement of high-end insurance planning strategies, discretionary investment portfolios, and sophisticated use of corporations and trusts.
He is family oriented and currently lives with his wife and their two daughters in Victoria. In his spare time, Mike can often be found enjoying family time, golfing, and exploring Vancouver Islands’ parks.
I love working with people. It really warms me up to have an understanding of someone’s human experience, to make a positive impact, and to be a part of a family’s conversation around their money and their life.
Andrea Alford
Andrea joined the Kalinka Group in 2021 and brings with her 25+ years of client service enthusiasm. She is a natural relationship builder and continues our tradition of providing an exceptional experience to each client.

She enjoys travelling, reading, gardening, entertaining, cooking, baking, and drinking coffee as well as wine (the good stuff).

Isabelle Jackson
Isabelle joined the Kalinka Group in 2025 after spending four years with a major credit union. After realizing she could not develop the personalized relationships with clients and provide them the support that they needed, Isabelle made the switch to Kalinka Group Private Wealth Management to truly make a difference in our client’s lives. Isabelle is dedicated to providing excellent client servicing and responsiveness. She provides an empathetic, attention to detail approach which makes her a perfect fit for the Kalinka Group.
Isabelle enjoys spending her free time exploring Vancouver Island’s beaches, forests, and hiking trails. She’s an advanced scuba diver, currently working towards her scuba instructor certification, and is a self-proclaimed “beach bum” who loves everything about the ocean including paddle boarding, kayaking, freediving, and snorkeling (when she’s not scuba diving!). When Isabelle is not outside in nature, she also enjoys taking care of her plant babies, yoga, visiting local wineries, decorating, and organizing.
