Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) have been around since 1998, but haven’t taken off like wildfire, possibly because they’re a bit complex to understand. The short story is that you can dedicate resources to fund the cost of a child’s — or grandchild’s — post-secondary education. The amounts you invest don’t result in a tax deduction, but the money compounds without tax just like an RRSP. What makes RESPs attractive is the 20% (and sometimes higher) federal grant that is earned on the first $2,500 invested each year up to a maximum of $7,200 per child. Whether you’re wondering how to set up an RESP, how to maximize your contributions or how to start payments to your new student, please contact us and let us guide you through the next steps.
Canadians are among the most heavily taxed citizens in the world, so it’s our right and privilege to ensure that we take advantage of any tax-saving opportunities on the road to maximizing your assets.

It’s the subject no one wants to talk about, but estate planning is much bigger than “having a will”. Our team can help you develop an estate plan to protect you and your family in the event of disability or critical illness, as well as establish a plan to minimize the tax on capital assets left to your heirs. Taking care of these important steps today, can make your estate as smooth and stress-free as possible and, although not guaranteed, afford you a better night’s sleep.
Whether you are planning to retire or have already retired, our team can help you quantify the cost of the lifestyle you desire and create a realistic plan to support it.
Your plan considers such factors as government programs, pensions, other sources of retirement income, life expectancy and historical rates of inflation. Based on an analysis of your situation and goals, your plan works to balance your everyday needs with those for the future to allow you to live your retirement with confidence and peace of mind.
