Retirement Planning
We all dream of retiring … but dreams are just that – dreams! A goal, however, is a dream with a plan and a deadline. So, have you really mapped out what the “retirement lifestyle” looks like for you and what you need to put in place to get there?
You can draw on our decades of client experiences to assist you in creating the foundation for developing and implementing the retirement lifestyle plan that’s right for you.
We can meet with you to assess your current situation, desired goals, and objectives. We will walk you through some of the processes of retirement planning which include:
- Analyzing your current asset portfolio & retirement funding situation;
- Determining, based on your desired lifestyle, what your annual expenditures would be;
- Assessing the required savings needed in order to meet that retirement lifestyle;
- Discussing on a practical level what changes in your current situation are needed to get there;
- Setting a tentative retirement date goal to work toward;
- Reviewing what tax minimization strategies are available for you to utilize and assist you;
- Meeting with you regularly to update and amend your retirement plan as required

" Mike and his staff have been helping with our personal and corporate accounting since we moved to the Barrie area over 14 years ago. His planning and advice on our various companies and personal returns have been very helpful. I especially appreciate how well we communicate and come to a quick but well thought out tax strategy going forward. His hand picked staff like Helen and Lynda share the same conscientious and caring manner. They are good people. Don't hesitate to use their services. "
The Howard Family - H E Developments -
" As the majority shareholder of four small corporations, Mike and his team have become an extremely valuable business partner and resource for our companies in very short order. After a glowing endorsement from my financial advisor and a terrific introductory meeting, we switched from a much larger firm we had been dealing with for more than a decade because Mike offered a more reasonable pricing structure and more importantly, he truly understood our various needs which worked hand-in-hand with his expert and personalized service. In addition to providing excellent accounting and tax services, Mike has offered invaluable business advice which has assisted us as we build our new business and transition our other more established ones. His team is always professional, timely in their responses, and very helpful. We look forward to a terrific long term relationship with Mike and his team. "
