 When I first met Kelsey, I was going through a divorce. Preparing to be on my own financially was frightening and overwhelming! I definitely broke into tears more than once! Kelsey has helped me get back on track, explaining the why's and “how-to's” of my financial picture for stability now, and into retirement. She listens, is genuinely curious, and helps me stay accountable. I always learn something new each time we meet and by helping me understand and navigate my finances, Kelsey has helped me gain confidence in my financial independence and has made me feel empowered to shape my future.

Many Canadians designate a direct beneficiary on their RRSP, RRIF, TFSA or insurance policies without giving it a second thought (although in Quebec, beneficiary designations are only effective on insurance policies). However, designating a direct beneficiary is not recommended for many plan/policy owners, where they have non-traditional or unique family situations, as it can lead to unfavourable tax implications for beneficiaries.

Did you know that many Canadians are not adequately prepared to pass on or inherit family wealth? This is often due to a lack of communication and planning. The good news is that it’s never too early or too late to start. Planning helps you identify tax saving opportunities, mitigate potential financial gaps and maximize your current lifestyle.
The lifetime capital gains exemption (LCGE) is one of the key tax planning advantages available to small business owners, farmers, and fishers. In 2021, it can exempt from tax up to $892,218 of capital gains realized on the sale of shares of a qualified small business corporation and up to $1 million of capital gains realized on the sale of shares of a family farm or fishing corporation.
