Who We Work With

Built for complex financial lives.

For physicians and clients whose personal, corporate, tax and estate decisions need to work together.

The Missing Piece

Who is coordinating the whole financial picture?

Many physicians and business owners have capable professionals around them: an accountant who handles tax filings, and often an investment advisor or self-directed account.

But often, no one is planning the personal and professional financial future together beyond the next quarter or the next year. That is where we add value: a clear picture of where you are, what you can afford, what tradeoffs matter, and what decisions should be made next. Done well, planning can more than pay for itself through better investment decisions, tax efficiency, cash-flow coordination, and a deeper understanding of the government programs available to you.

Planning that connects the pieces

  • Personal cash flow and corporate cash flow in one view
  • Salary, dividends, RRSP room, CPP and retained earnings coordinated together
  • Investments, tax, retirement income and estate decisions aligned to one plan
  • Clear next steps for what to do now, what to defer and what to revisit each year
Financial Planning

We answer the questions that get more expensive when they drift.

Whether you are training, building a practice, working locums or contracts, running a corporation, growing a business, or preparing for retirement, we connect the decisions that are usually reviewed in isolation: cash flow, tax, investments, insurance, retirement income, estate planning and family goals.

How We Work

A plan to start, and a partner for the years ahead.

Great financial decisions aren't made once. We begin with a comprehensive plan, help you put it in place, then stay alongside you as life, markets and tax rules change.

Step 01 - Plan

Build the roadmap

A comprehensive, holistic plan covering income, tax, investments, risk and estate - so every part of your situation works in sync.

Step 02 - Implement

Put it in motion

We translate the plan into clear, prioritized actions, explained in plain language so you know exactly what to do and when.
