  • How Do I Know If I Need Financial Advice?

    Nearly everyone can benefit from working with a professional financial planner or consultant. An advisor can help you prepare for the changes in your life in a way that is proactive, not reactive. We work with you to develop a living plan to help:

    • Create peace of mind by reducing your concerns and simplifying your financial picture
    • Build your savings for education, retirement, and other charitable or legacy gifts
    • Navigate critical financial events
    • Deliver tax-efficient strategies across all aspects that improve your financial position
    • Proactively adjust your plan as opportunities are identified

  • What Services Do You Provide?

    We provide a personalized IG Living Plan™ which is assembled using the best combination of strategies and tools at the right time. As your financial situation evolves, we make the necessary changes to keep you on track. 

    Our team of experts looks at the six areas of your financial life, to provide you with the most tax-efficient strategies for all your long- and short-term investment and estate planning needs. These areas are:

    1. Optimizing your retirement
    2. Planning for major expenditures
    3. Maximizing your business success
    4. Preparing for the unexpected
    5. Managing cash flow efficiently
    6. Sharing your wealth

  • What is a Financial Plan?

    Our planning process has been designed to help you create a living plan. We deliver personalized advice that goes beyond numbers. We will meet with you to discuss your goals and concerns and learn about your current financial complexities to develop, recommend and implement strategies to meet those goals. As life and family circumstances change, we will periodically review these strategies and present you with all relevant scenarios before making any adjustments to your plan.

    We will help you achieve financial well-being by effectively developing a customized plan that addresses these six major areas of your financial life. It is vital that we start with a complete picture of your total wealth from the start. Every decision made in any one of these areas may highlight opportunities or present challenges. Only when your financial needs are truly interconnected and synchronized, can you be confident that you are maximizing your potential and achieving true financial well-being.

  • Will I Get Better Results by Working with an Advisor?

    Our job is to help you manage and protect your money so that it can grow more securely and last longer. The advice we provide is intended to balance all your financial efforts and get them working together. And the evidence shows it works. Canadians who work with a consultant see returns that are 1.7 to 3.9 times higher than people who manage their own money.
