Take charge of your finances

Are you unsure if you're saving enough, or how much you can safely spend?

Rising costs, a tax system that keeps changing, and a growing urge to build a life somewhere else can make the big decisions feel impossible. Whether you're planning retirement, selling a business, or seriously thinking about leaving Canada, the hard part is knowing what to do first and what it will cost you to get it wrong.

We connect you with credentialed professionals who turn that uncertainty into a clear, personalized plan. Fee-only and unbiased, they help you save, spend and move with confidence, whether that's into retirement or into a new country.

  • Rest easy without the fear of running out of money in retirement.
  • Stop overpaying on taxes and keep more of what you earn.
  • Maximize the value of your business, whether you're growing or selling.
  • Exit Canada the right way; stay tax compliant and protect your wealth.

Client stories

Real people. Real plans.

"We were both super busy with our careers and having a newborn, so we had put off planning for retirement. Simon and Chris spent a lot of time with us to understand our situation and gave us a plan that was really easy to follow. Now we know exactly what we have to do and it's a big relief to finally feel on track."

"When I decided to move to Portugal, I had no idea how to handle the tax side or what to do with my business. Chris, Obed, and the team answered all my questions about departure tax and the sale of my assets, and it saved me so much time and money."

How can I trust you?
The planners we work with hold CFP and CPA designations, and our investment partners are licensed portfolio managers, all bound by strict ethical codes. You can verify us in the CFA Member Directory, the FP Canada Planner Directory and CPA Canada. We never ask for access to your accounts, we're fee-only with no commissions, and we're happy to connect you with past clients.
Can I speak with clients who have worked with you before?
Yes, absolutely. We'd be happy to connect you with former clients who have agreed to share their experiences. Let us know, and we'll arrange it.
Where are you located?
We're a fully digital office, so you can work with us from anywhere via video, email or phone. Our planners are in Ontario, B.C. and Alberta, and we've had clients from every province. Lower overhead keeps our fees lower.
Do you work with Canadians already living abroad?
Yes. Many of our clients have already left Canada and come to us for the filings and planning that follow a move: non-resident returns, rental income on a Canadian property, RRSP and pension withdrawals as a non-resident, corporations kept in Canada, and tidying up a departure that was never properly reported. We work entirely online across time zones.
