When you are ready to turn your savings into income, you want expert advice.
We wrote the book on retirement income planning -- literally. We were among the first financial planning firms in Canada to identify the emerging need for the special skills required to structure and implement an effective income plan to carry you through the changing stages of retirement. Our strategies and experience in our own practice have been shared in professional development courses, guides and training courses that have been employed across Canada by banks, credit unions and insurance companies to introduce their advisors to this specialized area of financial planning.
In our practice, we focus on preparing individuals, couples and families to make best use of their time, their health and their financial assets to achieve their personal objectives through the changing phases of life – and especially through the changing stages of retirement. As a team, we provide advice and counsel at every step along the way.
Our planning process follows the six-step process prescribed by professional financial planning standards. We add to that, our personal approach to your plan.
Our full-service offering is a comprehensive, written plan outlining
your sources of income
your income needs
withdrawal strategies
investment planning and assumptions
contingency planning for health risks
wealth transfer and estate planning strategies
However, the initial plan is only the beginning. We review your plan with you frequently to assure that it is being constantly adapted to the changing realities of your life, and reconciling the highly personal aspects of your situation with an income plan which meets those needs.
