About
My purpose is to help individuals see that there is hope and a way out of the financial predicament that they may find themselves in, whether it be facing a divorce, being newly widowed, navigating life stress or bankruptcy.
I can help you because:
I am what you would call a “typical accountant “(sigh, it’s true).
I came to accounting as a calling. I started saving at the age of five, put those savings into an RRSP as soon as I had contribution room and did my tax returns as soon as I had a job.
But don’t let my strong accounting traits put you off because, in many ways, I’m not your typical accountant.
I don’t adhere to the rigid accounting concept of saving at all costs. And I don’t encourage you to choose a path based solely on the fact that it will make you the most money.
Instead, I listen empathetically to you and discuss your financial situation non-threateningly to figure out how to make your money work for you.
I help individuals and families create spending plans and financial goals that align with their values and beliefs.
That said, I love to save money in every facet of my life, and who doesn’t like making more money? I will happily share all my strategies, but I am open-minded and love to help people figure out the earning and spending habits that will make them happy. No two financial plans are alike, just as no two individuals are alike.
Why am I so good at helping people align their values with their financial reality?
Because I have lived it, I know the stress (and financial havoc) of not living according to my values. I found this out when faced with marital collapse and the prospect of living as a single mom with two young children after 20 years with the same person.
If you are in a conflict involving financial difficulties, you may feel you cannot live your dreams.
I will help you find a path out and help you get back on track. It is never too late to start.
Some of my credentials:
Life experience!
