Fee-Only Personal Wealth Planning
We provide independent, holistic wealth planning tailored to your goals, values, and life stage. Whether you’re planning for retirement, growing your wealth, or navigating life transitions, we help you make confident financial decisions that support your long-term vision.
Why Choose Us?
We don’t just create financial plans. We help people understand them, integrate them, and follow through.
Most plans fail not because the strategy is wrong, but because human behaviour is ignored. By combining financial planning with education, coaching, and psychology-informed insight, we help clients make aligned decisions, stay accountable, and build a healthier relationship with money.
This approach takes more care — and produces more durable results.

How does it work?
Our two-step process meets you where you are today, and supports you as you move towards your future goals and objectives.
Step #1: Initial Wealth Planning
Most fee-only financial plans are built after one or two meetings, focused primarily on numbers, projections, and assumptions.
We believe meaningful financial change happens when strategy, behaviour, and understanding are developed together. That requires time, reflection, and collaboration.
Our planning process unfolds over six to eight weeks and includes six to eight structured meetings, held in person or virtually. These sessions allow us to:
Understand your goals, values, and lived experiences with money
Explore the emotional and behavioural patterns that influence decision-making
Provide ongoing financial education so recommendations are understood, not just received
Co-create a plan that reflects both your financial reality and your capacity for follow-through
Rather than delivering a plan and hoping it fits, we build it with you step by step, so it is practical, integrated, and sustainable.
Step #2: Ongoing Wealth Consultations
Financial planning is not a one-time event. A plan is only useful if it is acted on and adapted over time.
Research from behavioural finance shows the greatest value of advice comes from ongoing guidance, implementation support, and accountability—not just delivering a plan. Money behaviours are deeply ingrained, emotionally influenced, and often difficult to change without consistent support. Without ongoing support, many good plans never make it past the intention stage.
Most financial outcomes are shaped by small decisions over time, especially during periods of transition or stress. Our role is to help you translate your plan into action, stay accountable to your goals, and adjust your strategy as your life evolves.
This is why we place strong emphasis on ongoing guidance and implementation.
How much does it cost?

A one-time, comprehensive financial plan designed to provide clarity and direction.
Individual Wealth Planning
From $4,000
and up
Family Wealth Planning
From $4,750

Best suited for clients who want a standalone plan without ongoing implementation or coaching support.
Option B: Financial Planning + Integrated Wealth Management
Begins with a comprehensive financial plan (Option A), followed by a transition into our Fee-For-Service Integrated Wealth Management model for ongoing planning, coordination, and implementation through our independent portfolio management partners.
This option is typically appropriate for clients who:
- Require ongoing coordination between financial planning and investment management
- Value ongoing coaching and accountability to support confidence, decision-making, and long-term follow-through
- Have more complex investment, tax, estate, or retirement income needs
- Are retired or approaching retirement and need support managing income streams
- Are high-net-worth or accredited investors seeking long-term guidance and accountability
Most clients ultimately choose Option B as their financial lives become more complex and they value ongoing accountability, coordination, planning, and support through both the practical and human sides of money over time.
Option C: One-Year Financial Planning & Implementation Support
A 12-month engagement that includes the full financial planning process, followed by ongoing coaching, implementation support, and accountability for the remainder of the year.

- Want support exploring and adjusting long-standing money patterns and decision-making habits as they implement their plan
- Are in an asset accumulation phase, or
- Rely primarily on pensions or employer plans, or
- Are financially sophisticated and comfortable managing investments independently, but
- Want professional guidance and structured support to implement their plan over the course of a full year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does your process include so many meetings?
Because most financial plans fail at implementation, not design.
Spreading the planning process across multiple sessions allows space for learning, reflection, and adjustment. Clients are better able to understand their options, ask informed questions, and move forward with confidence rather than overwhelm.
Do I really need this many meetings?
Not everyone does — and that’s okay.
Our process is designed for people who want more than a quick plan or a checklist of recommendations. It’s for those who want clarity, integration, and lasting change, not just information.
Is this financial planning or coaching?
It’s financial planning, informed by behavioural finance and psychology.
All technical analysis, projections, and recommendations are included. The difference is that we take the time to ensure the plan fits who you are, not just the math.
