Education. Experience. Ethics.
Choosing the right financial advisor is a major decision. It is important to find someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to helping you achieve financial peace of mind. Every successful relationship is built on trust, value, and communication, all of which are paramount in selecting a financial planner. As such, all new clients are accepted on a referral basis only.
Since 1994, I have been recommending proactive strategies for business owners and families wanting to simplify their financial affairs and increase their quality of life through an integrated approach to wealth planning. Retirement Planning, Investment Selection, Education Plans, Estate Planning and Preservation are some of the ongoing services I provide.
My discliplined investment approach and professionalism has earned me a reputation for being financially astute and client-focused. My clients appreciate the valuable advice and regular meetings I provide to review their financial progress. I believe in continually improving my knowledge through education and have earned the following industry designations:
- CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP) designation as governed by the Financial Planning Standards Council of Canada. A CFP Practitioner is one of the most respected financial planning designations in the profession and requires adherence to a strict code of ethics that mandates each CFP Professional act as a fiduciary in every relationship.
