As your financial advisor, Amanda will coordinate the financial
planning process for you by bringing a concise, relatable approach
to the complex world of personal wealth planning. Amanda will help
you to identify your goals and will work with you to implement a
series of strategies that will help you to realize your vision for
the future.
Amanda is a Business Marketing graduate from
Fanshawe College and has been working in the financial industry
since 2011 as a Service Administrator. In this role she developed a
solid business acumen in mutual fund investments, enhanced her
troubleshooting and problem-solving skills and built great
relationships with clients, industry representatives and Sterling
Mutuals head office personnel.
In 2018 Amanda became a
Financial Advisor and in 2022, she took over her predecessor’s
practice. She has established a niche market, specializing in tax
efficient multigenerational wealth transfer for families and their
businesses. She is currently working on obtaining her CFP. Amanda
enjoys listening to a variety of podcasts, exploring Ontario’s
talented pool of small businesses and spending time with her
husband, Daniel, her two daughters, Rosana and Isabella and her two
French Bulldogs, Roxy and Navy.
As a child, she lived in
Portugal for a short period of time, taking in the culture, language
and spending time with her family. Currently, she is working on
becoming fluent in Spanish trying to keep pace with her daughters
who are fluent in both Spanish and French.
My relationship with a client always succeeds best when I really get
to know them. Before I can make any recommendations on what’s right
for you, I first need to truly understand your particular
situation.
We’ll talk about your goals, your plans, and
your present financial situation and where you want to go with it in
the future. I’ll find out how comfortable you are with risk and what
preferences you may have for specific financial tools.
From
there, we’ll build your plan together. We’ll investigate which
options will work best to minimize the tax you pay and maximize your
wealth potential. We’ll look at your estate planning. We’ll
incorporate short-term strategies into a long-term game plan that’s
built specifically for you.
Sound investment strategies
should not be like a visit to the Casino. Although the risk profile
of every client varies, I generally recommend more conservative
investment strategies that are designed to build long term growth.
By not exposing your capital to undue risk, we’ll both sleep better
at night.
As an independent financial planner, I’m
working for you. That means there is never any pressure for me to
sell you something that may not be a perfect fit. My only allegiance
is to you. My affiliation with Sterling Mutuals Inc. gives me access
to a wide variety of financial products from GIC’s to mutual funds
while providing you with technology such as the ability to view your
accounts on line, make contributions electronically through your
personal web banking and more.
