in 1998 and spent the next ten years working in the hospitality industry

bookkeeping, budgeting and how to build wealth.

Adriann is married to Torin Locke and together they have two children. In her spare time, she likes to

I have the following designations: CPA, CGA, CFP, TEP.

I practice as a sole practitioner in Victoria,
BC. In addition to accounting and tax services, a growing focus of my
practice has been in the area of estate planning and estate
administration.

I work with my clients to assist them with
properly structuring their estate plan to ensure their wishes will be
followed on their death. Taxes on death, insurance and other issues are
important items to discuss but in the end a successful estate plan is
one that meets the needs and wishes of the client. I have experience
with using Alter Ego Trusts as part of an estate plan. Working closely
with other professionals helps my clients receive the best advice and
service.

Estate trustees and executors face significant
challenges after the death of a family member. I also provide assistance
to the trustees with all aspects of estate administration including
interacting with financial institutions, filling out forms, and acting
as a liaison with other professionals.

Your business. Your future. My speciality.

You've worked hard and watched your business grow. More than likely, it represents one of your main assets. You've spent years building it, and you want to ensure that you don't make any costly mistakes with your legacy, or cause your loved ones unnecessary stress.

As a business owner, you understand the importance of planning for the certainty of uncertainty, and you want clear, concise strategies to maximize your estate while minimizing risks, taxes - and hopefully - stress. 

As a Business Wealth Advisor, I take the lead on assembling a team of TD specialists to assist clients with planning strategies focused around business and life goals, to help preserve and protect personal and business wealth.

In short - we help you navigate today's complex financial waters and plan for tomorrow.

From your short and long-term business vision, to philanthropy and the legacy you want to leave your family, let's roll up our sleeves and get into the particulars around your goals. Let's understand what's important to you, and together, develop a plan to help you reach your goals, while protecting what matters.

As a former business owner  with in-depth experience in strategic planning, raising capital and taking companies public, I bring a big picture perspective to how I assess today's financial scenarios and solutions. In fact,drawing on what I have learned running my businesses, to help clients make informed choices about their financial future, is the most fulfilling part of my job. 

i hold my Certified International Wealth Manager designation, and am a Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute.
