Before we meet
The best investment strategies for professionals in Ontario and British Columbia depend on your income level, corporate structure, time horizon, and financial goals. Common strategies include maximizing RRSP and TFSA contributions, investing retained earnings inside a professional corporation, using segregated funds for creditor protection, leveraged investing through investment loans, and building a diversified portfolio across registered and non-registered accounts. Athena Financial builds a personalized strategy tailored to your specific situation.
For incorporated professionals in Ontario and British Columbia, investing retained earnings inside the corporation is often more tax-efficient in the short term — because corporate tax rates on active business income are significantly lower than personal rates. However, passive investment income inside a corporation is taxed at a higher rate. Athena Financial helps you determine the optimal split between personal and corporate investing based on your specific tax situation and financial goals.
Athena Financial begins with a thorough discovery process — understanding your income, expenses, risk tolerance, time horizon, existing assets, corporate structure, and financial goals. We then design a customized, tax-efficient investment strategy that integrates your registered accounts, non-registered accounts, and corporate investments into a single, cohesive plan reviewed and updated regularly.
Tax planning is one of the most important — and most overlooked — components of an effective investment strategy. For high-income professionals in Ontario and British Columbia, the difference between a tax-efficient and tax-inefficient investment strategy can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career. Athena Financial integrates tax planning into every investment recommendation we make.
Yes. We serve professionals and business owners throughout British Columbia — including Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Kelowna, and Victoria — and across Ontario, including Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo. All meetings take place by phone.
