Financial Planning
Do you have a personal financial plan that integrates with your business plan?
If you’re like most business owners, you’ve spent a lot of time working on your business and haven’t paid much attention to your personal planning. You need a personal financial plan, just like everyone else, but yours needs to take into account the planning opportunities that exist that involve your business.
At Red Seal Financial Ltd. we have several fee-for-service financial planning options for individuals. Each service is a component part which together form a comprehensive financial plan guiding our clients to genuine financial literacy.

Our Full Service Offering
My husband and I worked with Dawn Vader from Red Seal Financial to get some financial planning advice for our family. We had never worked with a financial planner before and really appreciated the time she took to answer our questions.
She was great at helping break down complex ideas into simple, easily understood concepts. She took the time to understand our situation and made recommendations that we were comfortable with. She even gave us time to digest the recommendations and so we were able to make decisions in our own time. Dawn Vader is a great financial planner and we would recommend her to anyone!
