Financial planning services ottawa

Do you have an ambitious list of goals you want to accomplish, from where you are now all the way through retirement? Without a plan, those goals are really just wishes. A comprehensive financial plan allows you to feel confident about your finances, accomplish your goals faster, and make financial decisions that align with your values.

Do you have one or two goals you need help to accomplish, or do you need a second yset of eyes on your portfolio to know where you stand for your retirement goal? A strategic session might be right for you.

Strategic Sessions

If you have a specific question or goal you’d like help with, consider a strategy session. These sessions are tailored specifically to what you want to achieve.

A strategic session deals with one or two defined goals or questions. Some common examples are:
  • Can you show me if I am on track to meet my retirement goals, and if not what I need to do to get there?
  • I need a roadmap on exactly how to draw down my wealth in retirement so I don’t burn through more money than necessary.
  • What types of investments should I put my money in so that it is working harder for me than it currently is?
  • I have a chunk of money just sitting idle that I want to invest. I need to understand the risks of each investment option, and to see how the different scenarios would work.
  • Is it a good idea to get into real estate in my situation? What would happen if I did versus if I didn’t?
  • Should I pre-pay my mortgage, or pursue a different option to maximize my wealth?
  • Is it a good idea for us to purchase a rental property?
  • Our current home isn’t meeting our needs but we don’t know if we should renovate it, sell it & buy a new one, rent it out and buy a new one. I want to see how each of these options would affect our finances.
  • How can I minimize my final tax liability on death so I can leave a larger legacy to my family?
  • I know our financial security is lacking, all we have is group coverage through work. Can you help me build a nest egg, understand what our insurance gaps are and provide solutions to gain optimal security?

We offer specific strategy sessions for retirement planning, options comparison, insurance and investments.
