Achieving your dreams starts with planning. We can help!
EDUCATION PLANNING
Are you a new parent, or have children who will be graduating soon? Whether your education planning is for years to come, or just around the corner, it is never too late to start. Your children will need high levels of training and education to secure employment in a world that is becoming increasingly competitive and technology driven. Obtaining a post-secondary education to meet these demands is also becoming more expensive. So don’t delay, and begin planning today.
TAXATION PLANNING
Registered plans such as RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, RDSPs and TFSAs are not specific investments, but a vehicle used to hold a variety of investments and shelter them from tax. We recommend contacting your tax professional to determine what registered plan is right for you; however, we can help go over the options available to you and explain the differences of each plan.

RETIREMENT PLANNING
Planning for a financially secure retirement is one of the most important challenges facing Canadians. Many do not belong to pension plans and the future of government plans like OAS and CPP is clouded with uncertainty. An increase in early retirements, coupled with long life spans, means retirements are lasting longer than they used to.
"How much money do I need to retire?" This is a common question. However, the biggest pitfalls to sound retirement planning are generally starting too late, failing to save sufficient amounts, and improper investment choices.
Consider what your needs will be at retirement and at what age you plan to retire. How will you get there? We're here to help!
ESTATE PLANNING
An estate takes a lifetime to create. Estate planning is the process, which allows the assets in your estate to be distributed to your beneficiaries according to your wishes in a timely, orderly, and tax-efficient manner. Estate planning is much more than a will. It provides information and strategies to protect and support beneficiaries, make critical personal decisions , control estate costs, understand and reduce taxes , and fairly distribute assets.
It's difficult to imagine leaving your loved ones behind, but it's worse leaving them without a plan outlining your final wishes. Our Certified Financial Planner understands the hesitations involved in putting an estate plan into place, and is here to guide you through this vital process to complete a plan.
