Why us

Your Financial Quarterback

We quarterback your financial plan by bringing together your lawyer, accountant, banking, employment benefits & pension, and insurance policies to make sure they all align within your plan
Why us

Streamlined & Convenient

We reduce your work, providing up-to-date information for ongoing reviews by automating access to CRA, pension providers, and existing institutions. This lets us do more work in the background and free up your valuable time. 

We’re happy to connect in the way that’s best for you. That includes meeting in-person at your home or via video conferencing software.
Why us

Hours of Operation

We do not believe in the traditional business hours model. Most of our clients work during the day which would generally put financial reviews on the back burner. At Wealth Labs, we have weekday evenings and Saturday mornings available by appointment.

Shouldn’t more things in life be this easy?

Compare Us With Your Bank

Organization & Overview
Life gets in the way, and over time different accounts are opened, old pensions from previous employers and insurance policies are somewhere in the background. At Wealth Labs, we see the organization and overview as the foundation to a solid financial footing. We bring together all aspects of your financial life and look how they interact with each other.
Budgeting & Spending
Budgeting is at the heart of all financial planning. It does not require a day-by-day review of your expenses, but an overall look at where your money historically goes. We look to understand your current spending to be able to help you reach and fund your goal while showing the different areas that might be reducing your budget. We also look to the future for best ways to pay down debt, financing purchases and more!
Tax Planning
Every recommendation made at Wealth Labs is through the lens of reducing your taxation. Whether it is financial planning, investments or insurance. When we reduce your payments to the CRA, this creates more money available to complete your goals.

Just imagine taking the tax savings (even a modest amount)and reinvesting it. That benefit will continue to compound!
Investment Planning
We look at the best strategies and investment vehicles to generate a realistic return while prioritizing your current savings. We believe investments should be for medium- and long-term time horizons using a diversified, disciplined approach - not gambling with hot stock tips.
Risk Management
We all believe that our lives will go as planned from point A to point B. However, some issues arise that require planning for plan C and D. Risk management includes emergency savings and insurance. We analyze what you currently have and can recommend and implement solutions to make sure you are protected if plan C and D arise.
Retirement Planning
You have entered the critical time when saving for retirement. We look at your different retirement options based on current savings, and what you are able to save in the years leading up to retirement. We factor your government benefits (CPP/OAS), increasing longevity, work pensions and personal savings to come up with a solid retirement savings plan. As the market moves up and down, we review this annually with you to verify we are on track.
Education Planning
Kids are expensive – plain and simple. When planning for financing education, we look to create a savings direction that maximizes government grants and market returns so your children can graduate with less financial stress and greater overall opportunities.
Estate Planning
Many people forget to consider estate planning as a component of a complete financial plan. We are here to educate and recommend what supports should be in place to reduce both the administration and tax burdens when the time comes.

Frequently asked questions

How are meetings conducted?

We primarily conduct our financial meetings over video conferencing software for ease of our clients. If you live in Southern Ontario, we will gladly meet with you in person as well.

I am interested, but what is your serving area?

We are licensed to work with people within the province of Ontario. Our clients currently reach from Ottawa to Windsor.

What are your investment minimums?

We do not have investment minimums. We believe that everybody has to start somewhere, and we would be proud to help build your foundation. What we look for are good people that care.

How are you paid?

Great question! We are paid several different ways depending on the service we provide. With insurance we are paid a commission. Investments and mortgages, we are paid a referral fee. Our fees are transparently laid out in our Engagement Letter.

How do you keep my money safe?

At Wealth Labs Inc., we have partnered with a great portfolio manager, Stewardvest of Huxton Black Ltd. All client accounts are held with Stewardvest while the money is located with a Custodian. The role of the custodian is to hold your money while Stewardvest provides the investment direction. Their Custodian is Fidelity Clearing Canada (FCC). FCC is part of the Fidelity group of companies which have combined assets under management of $2 trillion. FCC is a member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), which covers each account for up to $1,000,000 against insolvency or bankruptcy of the custodian.

What is a CFP®?

CFP® stands for Certified Financial Planner and is the global industry accreditation for financial planning. To be certified, you must meet education requirements, work experience, and pass several exams. The title carries a fiduciary obligation to our clients and 30 hours per year of continuing education to stay sharp.

What is the difference between mutual funds and investment councils?

Investment Councils have a fiduciary standard, discretionary trading authority, higher knowledge and experience requirements, and access to a broader range of solutions. For more information please click here.

Why work with an independent financial planner instead of a financial advisor at big bank?

We do not have sales targets to hit, or investors to pay dividends to. We tie our success to the quality of our service and therefore promise you the best experience possible. Our technology and digital security are all handled by the same major providers that also service the larger incumbents.

I handle all my own finances but am looking for a one-time financial plan. Is this possible?

We are happy to do a fee-only financial plan. Pricing varies based on complexity. Please give us a call and we will quote a fair price.

How do I know if we are a good fit?

Before doing any work, we will schedule a call to get to know each other. We believe there is a significant amount of trust required when working with a financial planner. On our call, tell us what your goals and expectations are for us and we will elaborate on how we specifically can help you!

I hear the term “financial plan” used, but do I actually get a plan?

We provide a concise document that outlines your financial health (assets, liabilities, cash flow), our recommendations, and next steps.

What if I have health/retirement benefits for my business in place already?

We review your current benefits package to determine if it matches the needs of your current employee demographic. Additionally, we can get new carrier quotes for your current health benefits to make sure you have both the best price and product.
