VIOLET’S STYLE + APPROACH

Violet understands there is more to wealth than money and she uses conservative assumptions to customize each clients’ plan, simplifying complex financial structures and providing an understandable impact assessment of various strategies.

Violet employs a rigorous needs analysis and review process in order to first uncover and understand goals. Using proprietary tax analysis, beautiful structure diagrams and detailed projection software, her team has developed a truly unique approach to the financial planning process, incorporating significant tax savings into her process. The result is a detailed financial roadmap for clients, their family and their trusted advisors to follow.

Violet was introduced to the financial industry right out of university and has continued her experience and technical training for over 20 years, earning her CPA, CGA, CFP, CLU, CHS and TEP designations.
