Financial Planning

Personal financial planning focuses on you as an individual – bringing together all the financial and psychological factors that have an impact on your life.

We know it can be overwhelming to have so many people offer you advice on which investments to buy. Estate taxes, income taxes and education funds for your children, these are just some of the other complex aspects of your total financial picture. We know there is more to your financial life than your RRSP. A well thought-out financial plan will help you reach your personal financial goals and objectives, and give you a greater sense of security.

Complete Financial Needs Analysis Process​

Many people call themselves a “financial planner”, but a true Certified Financial Planner uses the Complete Financial Needs Analysis Process, which is made up of six distinct steps.

Step 1 – Assessment

Clarify your present situation by collecting and assessing all relevant financial data – assets and liabilities, tax returns, records of securities transactions, insurance policies, wills and pension plans.


Step 2 – Identify Goals

Help you to identify financial and personal goals and objectives, and also to clarify your financial and personal values and attitudes.


Step 3 – Identify Problems

Help you to identify financial problems that can create barriers to your financial independence.


Step 4 – Recommendations

Provide you with written recommendations and alternative solutions. These should be structured to meet your needs without undue emphasis on purchasing specific investment products.


Step 5 – Strategy

Assist you to implement the right strategy to ensure that you reach your goals and objectives.


Step 6 – Review

Provide a review and revision of your strategy to ensure that you achieve your goals.
