About Alan
I began my career in the corporate world and have 15 years of CFO-level experience with International public companies. Using this experience, I moved into the Financial Services Industry and over the past 20 plus years have been helping individuals and families manage their financial affairs including customized tax and estate planning.
I have found that my expertise and skill-set are strongly suited to adding value to small business owners including incorporated professionals. My client-centric approach ensures that I understand the different needs of each client and provide solutions to help them maximize their net worth and achieve their financial and lifestyle goals.
My CA background, as well as the completion of the I.F.I.C., C.S.C and LLQP, ensures that I am well prepared to assist clients with many of their financial needs. I pride myself on client service and take on a “personal CFO” role for all of my clients.
I live in Thornhill with my wife, Nadine and have three sons. I am an active sportsman and continue to play tennis and golf and am an avid cyclist.
