Office Location
I have been working in the financial services industry for over a decade. Prior to taking on the role of Financial Planner, I was an Estate and Financial Planning Specialist for various nationally operating firms out of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. I am now focused exclusively on fostering strong relationships and helping my clients achieve their personal financial goals.
As a Financial Planner, I work closely with my clients to help them develop a financial plan that balances life today with their goals for the future. 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 addition to investment advice, I can also connect my clients with the right TD specialists to help them address a range of financial goals.
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.
I look forward to working with you.
