You leave a financial legacy aligned with your values.

Retirement Income Strategy
A solid retirement plan starts with understanding your future cash flow. We help you design an income strategy that blends multiple sources of income to support your retirement years. This includes:
Government Benefits: CPP, QPP, RREGOP, OAS, and GIS planning and optimization.
Workplace Pensions: Navigating defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
Personal Savings & Investments: Drawing down RRSPs, TFSAs, and other accounts strategically.
Business or Rental Income: Structuring alternative income streams.
Annuities or Insurance Products: Creating guaranteed income for life, where appropriate.
We focus on balancing security with flexibility—ensuring you’re protected against risks while still enjoying the freedom to live the life you want.
Tax Efficiency in Retirement
Tax planning doesn’t stop once you retire. In fact, it becomes even more important. Our advisors help you reduce tax burdens through careful withdrawal planning, income-splitting strategies, and account sequencing. With the right structure in place, you can preserve more of your wealth and potentially extend the lifespan of your retirement savings.
Healthcare & Long-Term Care Planning
Unexpected medical expenses can affect retirement finances. We help you explore options such as critical illness insurance, long-term care coverage, and income protection plans to keep your retirement on track, even if your health changes.
Leaving a Legacy
For many, retirement planning isn’t just about financial independence—it’s also about leaving something meaningful behind. Whether that’s a charitable gift, supporting family, or passing along a business, we’ll guide you through estate and legacy planning options to help you shape the impact you want to leave.
