Financial Planning for High-Income Canadians

I specialize in building income plans, investment plans and tax plans for charitably minded, high-income pre-retirees. My clients often have complex needs that encompass managing substantial assets, optimizing tax strategies, and planning strategic income withdrawals to ensure a financially secure retirement.

With a focus on those aged 50 and older, I provide comprehensive wealth management services that go beyond investment advice to include deep tax planning and legacy building.
