SERVICES & FEES
I give people the tools and skills they need to manage their own money. Most financial planners and institutions charge an ongoing annual percentage of your portfolio and have a conflict of interest in selling their products to you. Over your lifetime, these annual fees can easily erode the growth of your portfolio by $100,000 to $1,000,000, or more. Nobody cares about your future like you do, so I believe that money should stay where it belongs - with you.
I offer Flat-Fee Financial Planning, which means the only thing I sell is advice - advice that is tailored to you and your needs. You retain control over all of your financial decisions with the benefit of professional guidance. My goal is to give you the tools you need to be your own financial expert.
How much does flat-fee planning cost?
I serve clients across Canada. All meetings are done over Zoom.

Flat-fee Planning = More Value
The true cost of annual fees over 20 years might surprise you.
-
Assuming a 6% annual rate of return for 20 years
-
"Total" is the total wealth lost due to fees. Why so big? The effect of annual fees compounds over time because you lose both the fee AND the investment returns those fees would have earned.
-
Already managing your own investments? If your portfolio is disorganized or tax-inefficient, those costs add up just like fees do.
