WHAT WE DO
​
Either individually or together, as a neutral financial divorce specialist, I assist in navigating through the uncertainty toward a path of possibilities of what your financial future can be.
With over 25 years of experience as a Chartered Professional Accountant and specializing as a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist, I work exclusively with individuals facing major life transitions. I'm also trained in Collaborative Practice. I'm passionate about helping people resolve their issues and arrive at a creative and workable resolution. I've been there myself and I had lots of questions that kept me up at night so I help people going through a separation and divorce in answer questions like:
Will I have to change my lifestyle?
Do I need to work harder or change my career?
What will happen to my retirement plans?
Will my kids be ok?
Will I be ok?
Facilitating the financial process that comes with separation and divorce, easing stress, reducing the cost and bringing clarity to the financial future of anyone facing divorce is what I’m determined to do for you. I’ll get to know and understand your personal situation and use my knowledge and experience in financial divorce matters, along with sophisticated financial divorce and forecasting software to find the answers you need to make some of the most important decisions of your life.
