Where should I turn for financial planning in Cranbrook?

The need for financial planning has grown dramatically as many people begin planning for their retirement and as larger segments of the population manage their own investments. We do not sell investments or receive fees or commissions for referrals. We provide independent advice on a fee-for-service basis.

Our financial planning services include:

  • Personal financial planning

    By analyzing an individual's assets, debts and obligations, we are able to tailor an individual financial plan that recognizes aspirations and goals in a realistic manner.

  • Co-ordination of corporate and personal matters

    For their convenience, we encourage shareholders of small business corporations to co-ordinate a review of their financial plans with the preparation of their corporate and personal income tax returns.

  • Retirement

    Increasingly employees are receiving early retirement options from their employers. Such offers require planning to ensure that the expected results will be achieved and the retiring employee fully understands the financial ramifications of the retirement package.

  • Special circumstances

    Occasionally individuals may receive large sums of money, whether by way of inheritance or windfall. In these circumstances, it is important that planning is undertaken to safeguard the assets and provide for maximum utilization.
