As a planner with TD Wealth Financial Planning, I am passionately committed to providing my clients a fully integrated financial plan that balances living life today with setting goals for tomorrow. I take the time to understand, not just their current financial circumstances, but also the objectives and motivations integral to it. Whether you are planning for retirement or starting a new business, I am here to help guide you every step of the way.

In my role, I focus on four key areas:

  • Build net worth – Identifying investment solutions that align to my clients’ evolving needs.
  • Implement tax-efficient strategies – Working with my clients to help create and structure their accounts to help reduce tax exposure while keeping income available for when it’s needed.
  • Protect what matters – Leveraging the expertise of TD specialists, I help integrate strategies to protect what matters to my clients.
  • Leave a legacy – Helping my clients to build a plan to effectively transfer their wealth.

TD Wealth Financial Planning

Your priorities are important to us. We can work together towards your goals, and can help with:

Planning for every life stage

As we've all come to realize over the past year, life is full of uncertainty. That's why it's so important to plan for every life stage now, even the unexpected.

To help with that, I've included an article that you may find useful. If you'd like to discuss any of the topics raised in further detail, I'd be more than happy to schedule some time for us to chat.

Retirees / Pre-Retirees

When you think about your retirement, what do you see for yourself? Do you see yourself traveling the world? Relaxing in nature up at your family cottage? Volunteering for a charity or organization you hold dear? Whatever your vision for retirement may be, we can help you plan for it.

TDAM: Tax & Retirement Planning Guide

At TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM), we understand the importance of tax planning to investors. There are many tax-efficient investment vehicles available to Canadians to help maximize after-tax income and grow their investment portfolios.

Retirement Planning

During the discovery process, we will discuss strategies to help you become retirement-ready by discussing questions like:
  • How much income is needed for the retirement you aspire to?
  • How can you save enough to fund your retirement?
  • How can you improve tax efficiency during retirement?
  • When should you start taking your government benefits?

The goals and dreams you and your family share for your work and career, well-being, home, lifestyle and legacy.

Over time, you may find that your needs and goals change. TD Wealth Financial Planning has the expertise to help you stay on track. As we continue to meet with you, we’ll introduce new strategies to adapt your financial plan to those changes. We look forward to developing a relationship with you in order to understand your goals and aspirations and design a plan that continues to meet your current needs and future goals.

Disciplined process

Build Net Worth

We can help you build your net worth by developing effective strategies and investment solutions that align to your needs, even as they evolve.

Business Owners

We know that business owners have specific wealth management priorities. We bring in other TD specialists as needed to identify tax-effective strategies for your key accounts, leverage insurance structures to maximize estate value, and plan the transfer or sale of your business.

Professionals

Professionals such as physicians, dentists, accountants, lawyers and notaries are highly focused on their work and do not always have time to manage their investments and assets on a daily basis. Delegating day-to-day and discretionary portfolio management to our team adds value and saves our clients time.

Implement Tax-Efficient Strategies

We can work with you to help create and structure your accounts to help reduce tax exposure while keeping income available for when you need it.
