The Certified Financial Planner® designation, long recognized as the standard for financial planning in Canada and around the world, provides assurance that the design of your financial future rests with an individual who has met the highest standards of knowledge, skills, abilities and ethics in the financial planning profession.
A financial plan is not a one size fits all solution.
Canadians who work with CFP professionals to develop a financial plan feel significantly better about their emotional and long-term financial well-being and ability to achieve key life goals than people who get their advice from a non-certified advisor.
CFP professionals are guided by a code of ethics based on several principles including integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism and diligence. They are committed to putting your interest first, every time.

We get paid in 2 ways. First, when you implement our recommendations, we get paid a commission directly from the insurance or investment companies we work with. Second, we are paid small annual service fees to maintain and upkeep your account, cover managing the practice, compliance, and regulatory and administrative costs.
For high net worth clients, we also offer a fee-only investment advice, where we do not accept commissions or payments from fund companies or other third-parties for the sale of financial products. We select the best in their class of mutual funds based on rigorous financial analysis, and we always look for low-cost options to try and keep your overall fees down. This helps us to avoid potential conflicts of interest and keeps our interests aligned with our clients.

“Retirement can make one feel quite vulnerable…”
This is why we have been so delighted with the management and advice Shashank Hedao has brought to our retirement resources. Shashank is more than an astute judge of mutual funds, although his selections have performed exceptionally well for us; he is able to integrate our investment portfolio, insurance needs, tax strategies, and estate planning considerations into a coherent course of action.”
