Financial Planning encompasses the following key areas: cash flow management, investment strategies, tax efficiency, insurance needs estate planning, taxation and debt planning. We provide all of these services but unlike most financial advisers, we do not sell anything other than our time, so you know that we do not have any conflicts of interest.
We can build a retirement plan that is relevant to you regardless of your age or stage. How much do you need to save each year? How much do you need to retire? How much can you afford to spend in retirement? What is the best way to draw down your assets? We can help answer these questions.
We don’t hold any investment licenses, so we’re not going to tell you which stocks to buy and sell. What we can do is help you with your asset allocation, tax efficiency and strategies, performance evaluation and investment fee assessment. If you are looking for an investment advisor, we have a short list of third party professionals that we can refer you to.
One of the most important aspects of financial planning is how much you keep for every dollar that you earn. Although it is often overlooked, tax planning plays a significant role in creating and retaining your wealth.
Debt can be a double edged sword. Proper use of debt can be a wealth creating tool or debt can lead to real financial stress. We have access to mortgage professionals that can help place you with the right mortgage for you and your family. We can help re-structure or re-finance your overall situation.
Most people need insurance as a risk management tool. Some people can use it as an investment strategy. Either way, we can help you understand if and how it fits into your financial plan, and evaluate what type of coverage you might need in your personal situation. Because we don’t sell insurance, you can rest assured we have no conflict of interest and can provide you the information you need to acquire the appropriate insurance coverage, for you and your family.

Clients may need insurance to pay their mortgage, maintain their lifestyle, pay off any debt or loans, provide a children education fund, or simply to provide sufficient funds for their estate planning and final expenses. For both personal and corporate clients, the use of insurance to protect their families and business against taxation and loss of income is a key aspect of any financial plan. Once we identify the need and the right solution for you, we can refer you to a trusted and qualified insurance specialist.
No, we are advice-based financial planners only. Fee-only, advice-only financial planners are professionals and charge their fees much like other professionals such as lawyers or accountants.

We can recommend an investment adviser to you to help action our plan.
