Getting to Know Each Other and Taking Information
During our first meeting, we want to get to know you better. The better we know your situation, the better we will be able to tailor our advice. What expectations do you have in regards to your financial planner? What previous experiences have you had with the financial field? Where do you want to go?
This first meeting is also an opportunity for you to learn more about us: we show you the limits of our areas of expertise in accordance with our license and we explain our business relationships with our partners and summarize the role of every one of them. We will also inform you of the provincial and federal regulations and agencies that protect you.
Then, we will fill out your personal financial inventory to have a complete overview of your situation. We will ask you questions about your family and legal situation, your assets and debts, your income and expenses, your life and disability insurance coverage, your financial and retirement goals, and your companies or trusts.
