Marcus Chen
Senior Retirement Planning Specialist
Marcus discovered his passion for retirement planning after watching his parents struggle with insufficient savings in their golden years. With 12 years of experience and a background in actuarial science, he specializes in helping middle-income families maximize their RRSP contributions and navigate the complexities of government benefits.
His approach combines detailed financial modeling with practical, everyday advice that makes sense for real families. Marcus has helped over 300 Canadian families create comprehensive retirement strategies, and he's particularly skilled at explaining complex tax implications in simple terms.
Sarah Leblanc
Investment Strategy Advisor
Sarah's journey into financial planning began during her own divorce at age 35, when she realized how unprepared she was for managing her finances independently. That experience transformed her into one of Canada's most empathetic and thorough investment advisors, with a particular focus on helping women and single parents build wealth.
She holds a CFA designation and has spent 15 years developing investment strategies that balance growth with security. Sarah's clients appreciate her ability to create personalized portfolios that reflect their values while meeting their retirement goals. She's also our go-to expert for socially responsible investing options.
Robert Kumar
Estate Planning Specialist
Robert joined our team in 2020 after a successful career in corporate law, bringing a unique perspective to retirement planning through his expertise in estate planning and tax law. His transition into financial planning was motivated by his desire to help families avoid the costly mistakes he witnessed in his legal practice.
What sets Robert apart is his ability to see the big picture – how retirement planning fits into broader wealth preservation and legacy planning. He's particularly skilled at helping business owners and high-net-worth individuals create tax-efficient strategies that protect their assets while maximizing retirement income. His clients often say he thinks three steps ahead.
