Retirement Planning

Fee-For-Service Retirement Planning

Clear advice. No product sales. No commissions.

This service is for people who want financial advice, a clear plan, and help making better decisions with their money.

I do not sell investments or insurance through this service. The focus is planning, education, and helping you understand your options in plain language.

You will receive a personalized plan based on your goals, your accounts, your retirement income, your taxes, and the decisions you need to make.

Option 4: Hourly Rate Retirement Planning

$300/hr

Not everyone needs a full financial plan. Sometimes you just need help with one specific decision, question, or project.

My hourly planning service is for people who want clear, practical advice without committing to a comprehensive planning process. We focus on the issue in front of you, review your options, and help you understand the pros and cons so you can make a more confident decision.

This can include things like:

Budget and cash flow planning
CPP and OAS timing decisions
RRSP, TFSA, or non-registered account questions
Retirement income withdrawal strategies
Pension decision support
Severance or layoff planning
Debt repayment planning
Second opinion on an investment or insurance recommendation
Preparing financially for a major life change
Helping organize scattered financial accounts

This service is best suited for people who want targeted advice on a specific topic rather than a full retirement or financial plan.

The goal is simple: to bring clarity to your situation, explain your options in plain language, and help you make informed financial decisions.
