No. We are independent and able to offer a wide range of strategies and products.

We will review your specific situation and resources and create a plan that will ensure, among other things, that your current and future earnings are well protected and allocated in a tax efficient way. We will monitor and adjust the plan as needed.

There are different ways that we can help you protect and grow your accumulating assets in order to ensure that you and your family are able to preserve your lifestyle despite potentially tragic events such as critical illness or death.

We utilize strategies that allow you to distribute locked-in surplus to shareholders or your estate in a tax efficient way, which may result in tax savings of thousands of dollars.

We offer a variety of options that are tax efficient and either protected or fully guaranteed; hence provide you peace of mind that your savings will not erode over time.

There are several options that can be used to provide you with a guaranteed income for life and the ability to transfer any remaining capital to your beneficiaries upon your death.

We offer strategies that ensure that your funds are protected or fully guaranteed, while providing you with reasonable returns. 

We offer a number of investment strategies that are quite similar to investing in mutual funds but offer added protection. These can be as safe as a GIC or a bit more aggressive in order to enhance your investments’ growth. In any case they often provide a return that is likely higher than the typical GIC’s return.

We offer several strategies that will guarantee your income for life, taking advantage of market upturns in order to increase your future income payments, while ensuring they will never decrease.

We offer plans which ensure that your excess funds grow in a tax efficient manner and allow you to either leave behind a legacy or to supplement your retirement income.

We offer a unique plan for business owners and key employees in the company that combines critical illness coverage with an investment component. One of the benefits of this plan is that at the end of the term, if the insured remains in good health, they may receive 100% of the paid premiums tax free, giving them a head-start on their retirement savings, while protecting them in the interim.

We offer a unique tax efficient strategy that (unlike, GIC for example, which generates rather low income that is heavily taxed under the corporation) significantly increases your net income, while potentially preserving your assets for your heirs.

We offer a unique strategy that is designed to utilize the premiums that are paid into your life insurance policy to facilitate a loan, subject to financial approval, that can be immediately used to support your expansion plans in a tax efficient way.

We offer a few strategies that will protect your company from the potential losses that may occur by a sudden passing or disability of a key person in your company.

Mortgage insurance is simply a term life insurance policy that is designed to cover your mortgage if you die during the term. It protects the lender or investor and not the home owner.Life insurance can also be a term life insurance policy; however it is paid to your beneficiaries, who then have options as to how to deal with the mortgage.Life insurance is clearly a more beneficial option for homeowners.

Temporary or term insurance should be used when the insurance need is for a definite period of time, like coverage for a mortgage, for example, and it will expire at the end of the term.

Permanent insurance is something that you ‘own’ – your investment will not go to waste and will not expire. Someone will collect these funds (i.e. your beneficiaries), therefore it is a question of when not whether it will be collected.

Permanent insurance, while it may cost more up front, most often provides you with the best value for your invested dollars. 

This is a question of tax savings and when you would like to access your funds.

If you want to save for retirement, and are earning a significant income, an RRSP is likely the better option. If you wish to save to buy a car in the next 5 years, a TFSA is likely the better option. 

We are happy to discuss your specific situation and find the solution that best fits your current needs and future plans.

There are several strategies that can be put in place based on your specific situation and goals that will allow you to receive a predetermined income from your investment either for life or for a certain time frame of your choosing.

In most cases, we recommend clients do absolutely nothing during these volatile times.  We would already have taken the necessary precautions in regards to your portfolio, to ensure that your funds are invested in accordance with your risk tolerance.

In some cases we might actually encourage investors to increase their position (make additional investments), while the market is down, purchasing these investments at a discount in order to increase their potential profits when the market is up again.

Most of the work is ours… asking the right questions, gathering the relevant information, conducting our analysis,  coming up with recommended suitable strategies, implementing them, answering all your questions, providing ongoing support as necessary, managing your affairs, reassessing your changing circumstances and making relevant adjustments and much more.

You just need to provide us with the relevant information and answer a few questions, and we hope to do most of the heavy lifting. 

We review what you currently have as well as your needs and goals during our information collection phase and will give you our recommendations regarding additional coverage, if required, based on our analysis.

You can often start with as low as $50 per month. You will be amazed how the money grows over time and you might be able to increase your investment amount later on.

The important thing is to develop the habit and we can assist you with cash management and create a workable budget that will help you get started.

It’s easier than you might think!

In our opinion, financial planning is a process that should start even before you start generating any kind of income. Our financial habits take root quite early and we want to ensure that these are good ones.

Financial planning is not just about investing; it’s about creating and preserving your desired lifestyle and that of your loved ones. Clearly articulating and planning your financial goals, significantly enhances your chances for success. These plans should evolve over time and grow as you do.

No. We do our best to make it easy and simple.
We sit down with our clients and walk them through the process.
We use easy to understand language, thoroughly explain the different strategies and answer any question they might have.
We won’t move forward before they fully understand the implications of the chosen strategy in the short and long term.

We are happy that you have an advisor! So many people don’t and we believe that you can get much further ahead, having professional financial guidance.

We are always happy to offer a second opinion after analyzing your specific situation. We have access to a variety of unique financial strategies and would be happy to share these with you.

We focus on creating short and long term strategy rather than selling a specific product because we believe that this is the only way to ensure that clients’ interests are well protected.

We offer a wide variety of options to choose from and take the time to educate clients about available strategies based on their unique situation and our analysis. We make sure to answer any question they might have so they fully understand the implications of their decisions.

Our first priority is our clients’ needs and well being in the present and future and we utilize our accounting, business and financial background, education and experience, in order to create a holistic strategy that considers the client’s business and personal situation and goals.

In our opinion, investing should be started as early as possible because not only it will help you acquire the habit but you will also be able to enjoy the benefits of compound interest. This means that even if you invest for a short period of time and stop – if you started early – your money will continue to grow as you age.

Working with us; you would be able to improve your cash management skills (which can often be done through just a few minor adjustments); something that will allow you to increase your cash assets, therefore generate not only additional investments but also some peace of mind.

We believe that everyone should work with a financial advisor because they can help you grow and protect your assets and provide for a much better retirement.

Money is a very sensitive issue for many people and you need to work with someone you trust.

We advise, counsel, educate and support our clients. We offer strategies and solutions that you may have never heard about and we will be with you every step of the way until you have all your questions answered and the relevant strategies are fully implemented.
