what we do

Our practice has a specific focus on late career and retirement age clients who have accumulated wealth resulting in significant tax liabilities in their estates, and to beneficiaries.We work to eliminate as much of these taxes as possible with creative planning strategies. Where elimination is not possible, efficient funding options are explored.We work with clients' existing accounting and tax advisors to structure plans that will meet our clients’ goals and objectives.Integration with existing planning and flexibility for future changes are key. Life insurance can be a powerful tool in one's future planning. However, we use life insurance in unconventional ways. Our clients are not in need of life insurance, but utilize it as an instrument for its unique characteristics providing exceptional results to various planning challenges.
who our clients are
Our clients are a diverse group of mature age who have been financially successful in their lives. With varied backgrounds in everything from agriculture, medical professions, manufacturing, transportation, service industries, and a host of others, our clients do have many commonalities:
They want sophistication in their planning but with simplicity.


They want less risk in their finances (they don’t need to take risk).
They want to treat their beneficiaries fairly but not necessarily equally.


They want confidentiality.
They want value.


They do not want to pay tax twice (they have already paid a great deal).
They want solutions for complex estate equalization issues.

information for chartered accountants
and professional advisors

Do you have clients over the age of 60 who have accumulated significant tax liabilities in their estate? Do you have clients who have accumulated wealth inside holding companies that is not required for consumption?We work hand in hand with you and the client’s other professional advisors to establish a plan to first eliminate estate taxes and, where the tax cannot be eliminated, fund the remainder in the most efficient way possible.As you know, the most expensive way to pay these taxes is to have an estate write a cheque for the amount due. We look at ways to dramatically reduce this cost utilizing various financial instruments, including life insurance. The tax characteristics of life insurance can have a profoundly positive financial impact for our clients and their beneficiaries.
