Strategic Financial Planning

Behind Every Strategic Decision

Our approach to financial planning isn't built on algorithms or trendy methodologies. It's grounded in decades of real-world experience and a genuine understanding that every financial journey is deeply personal.

A Different Perspective on Financial Planning

After watching countless clients struggle with cookie-cutter financial advice, Marcus developed what he calls "contextual planning" – an approach that considers not just numbers, but life circumstances, family dynamics, and personal values.

"I've seen too many people follow generic advice that looked perfect on paper but fell apart in real life," he explains. "A retirement strategy that works for a corporate executive in Toronto might be completely wrong for a small business owner in Calgary."

  • Understanding individual risk tolerance through behavioral assessment rather than questionnaires
  • Building flexible strategies that adapt to changing life circumstances
  • Focusing on sustainable financial habits rather than quick fixes
  • Integrating tax efficiency without sacrificing long-term growth potential
  • Creating contingency plans for major life transitions

His background combines traditional financial planning with behavioral economics – something he picked up during his graduate studies at McGill. This combination helps clients make better decisions by understanding why they make certain financial choices in the first place.

Our Evolution

2018

Foundation Years

Started as a small consultation practice focusing on helping young professionals navigate their first major financial decisions. The approach was simple: teach people to understand their money before making big moves.

2021

Expanding Horizons

Began working with families facing complex situations – divorce, inheritance, career changes, business ownership. This experience taught us that financial planning is rarely just about finances.

2023

Educational Focus

Launched our structured learning programs after realizing that most people needed foundational knowledge before they could make informed decisions about their financial future.

2025

Today's Mission

Our current focus is on developing comprehensive educational resources that help people build genuine financial literacy – not just follow advice, but understand the reasoning behind every decision.
