Why Are We Unique?
                         We Sell No Products Whatsoever
     Our sole purpose is the provision of objective financial, tax and estate planning advice.




                            We’re Not Like Most Advisors
              We sell advice, pure and simple. Since our focus is advice, we explain
              things in layman’s terms and help you take control of your decisions.




                    We Don’t Get Paid By Getting You To Buy
   We get paid to provide comprehensive, holistic advisory services by fitting all aspects of your
financial puzzle together: retirement planning, cash flow and investment* strategies, tax planning,
  estate planning and insurance* needs analysis. We even do personal and corporate tax returns.




                       * We don’t earn fees or commissions from a referral. We make referrals because we don’t sell products
                       ourselves, and make them to people we can stand behind. We do the due diligence so you don’t have to.

Busting the Myths
          Misconception                                            Truth
An investment advisor                   Investment advisors are generally experts on investments
is a financial planner                  and may or may not have financial planning knowledge
An accountant is a financial planner    Most prepare tax returns, but don’t have the time/expertise,
                                        or the mandate to get involved tax planning
There are no conflicts of interest in   The industry is fraught with conflicts and lacks transparency
the investment / insurance industry     because different products pay different compensation
I get financial planning from my        Some have financial planning knowledge, but many do not
bank / investment advisor for free      have much expertise, and most of them are compensated
                                        based on the sale of products to you
I already have a fee-based              Fee-based is an investment fee as a % of your investments,
advisor, it’s the same thing            whereas fee-only is a set $ fee for financial advice only
I don’t have enough money               There are no minimums, whether investments or income,
to qualify as a client                  and every client pays the same effective hourly fee rate
