Almost ready to retire after 33 years in the business. But I am a big believer and promoter of the RDSP and with helping families on the health care side of legacy planning. This course looked very interesting to me as I think it will help with what I am doing to help instruct and follow things like ODSP, DTC, RDSP, Henson Trust and more.

I specialized in corporate restructuring of small and medium size businesses and in resolution of shareholder disputes.
My clients vary dramatically in age and I am now seeing questions arising more frequently about Estate Planning.
The opportunity to gain more valuable knowledge about the Complex Role of the Executor has convinced me to become a CEA (Certified Executor Advisor).
So combining this new knowledge with my Certified Financial Planner designation and using Advanced Financial Planning Software puts my clients in the best postion possible to make informed decisions about their Financial future.
I am a CPA, CA with many years of experience in tax planning and in the preparation of tax returns for deceased individuals, estates and trusts. I enjoy helping individuals, whether it's someone who needs assistance developing an estate plan to achieve peace of mind, or an executor who needs help with the many challenges in their important role.
I am an Estate and Trust Specialist at Cornerstone Credit Union. I help our membership share settle their loved one's estates. I also help refer them to the proper financial advisors to help them reinvest their inherence.
I am an Estate Specialist and the founder of New Dawn Financial, with more than 20 years of experience in financial services. My work is focused on two things: helping clients build well-structured estate plans, and supporting executors through the administrative and technical demands of settling an estate.
I hold the CFP (Certified Financial Planner), TEP (Trust and Estate Practitioner), CEA (Certified Executor Advisor), MFA-P (Master Financial Advisor - Philanthropy), DMA (Personal Tax Services Specialist), and MTI (Estate and Trust Professional) designations. That depth of training means clients get advice that is technically sound across estate, trust, tax, and financial planning.
On the planning side, I help clients get organized, work through their options, and put plans in place that will hold up and reduce burden for the people they leave behind. I collaborate closely with lawyers to make sure strategies are coordinated and reflect what clients actually want.
On the executor side, I work alongside estate trustees to provide the structure, guidance, and hands-on support needed to navigate the settlement process. I also accept personal appointments as estate trustee for clients who want a knowledgeable, independent professional named in their estate documents.
New Dawn Financial serves clients across Ontario, virtually and in person throughout the Golden Horseshoe.
