What we do

Comprehensive wealth planning, built around you.

A&O Wealth Planning offers independent, fee-transparent advice across financial planning, investment strategy, insurance and estate planning, always planning first, products second.

One advisor. One plan. Everything connected.

Most financial advice is delivered in silos,  an investment advisor here, an insurance agent there, a planner somewhere else. The result is a collection of products with no coherent strategy tying them together.

At A&O Wealth Planning, every service is delivered through a single, integrated lens. Your financial plan drives every recommendation, not the other way around.

01

Financial Planning

Clarity on where you stand and where you're headed.

Retirement projections, cash flow analysis, goal mapping and scenario modelling, all built around your specific priorities and timeline. We build a living plan that evolves with your life, not a one-time document that collects dust.

  • Retirement income and savings projections
  • Cash flow and debt management analysis
  • Goal mapping and scenario modelling
  • Tax-efficient savings strategy (RRSP, TFSA, RESP, FHSA)
  • Education and major purchase planning

02

Investment Strategy

Portfolio efficiency and long-term outcomes — not short-term noise.

Portfolio review, asset allocation, risk alignment and fee analysis. We focus on building portfolios that are efficient, cost-effective and aligned with your actual risk tolerance, not just a questionnaire score.

  • Portfolio review and fee analysis
  • Asset allocation and diversification strategy
  • Risk profile alignment
  • Registered and non-registered account strategy
  • Ongoing monitoring and rebalancing

03

Insurance Strategy

Protection where it genuinely strengthens your plan.

Life, critical illness and disability insurance considered where protection genuinely strengthens your financial plan, never as a standalone product push. We assess your actual exposure and recommend coverage that fills real gaps.

  • Life insurance needs analysis
  • Critical illness and disability coverage review
  • Business owner protection strategies
  • Insurance as a planning tool, not a product sale
  • Annual coverage review as your plan evolves

04

Income & Estate Planning

A complete plan — from today through your legacy.

Retirement income strategy, legacy considerations and coordination with your legal, accounting and tax professionals to ensure your plan is complete. We don't work in isolation, we work alongside your existing advisors.

  • Retirement income sequencing and drawdown strategy
  • CPP and OAS optimization
  • Estate and legacy planning considerations
  • Coordination with legal and accounting professionals
  • Business succession and transition planning
