SESSION 6: REAL WEALTH MANAGEMENT: CORPORATE OWNER-MANAGER PLANNING IN RETIREMENT

Special Guest Speaker: Doug Nelson, B.Comm.(hons.), CFP, CLU, MFA, CIM, RWM

Since the Federal Government recently changed 40 years of historical precedent on how small business owners can organize their corporate structure and manage their profits, advisors now need to provide different guidance to their entrepreneurial clients who are planning their retirement. More specifically, most small business owners will be restricted in how they can split income, or profit, with other family members, resulting in potentially less flexibility in where and how to invest for retirement. Learn how to ask key questions and address resulting challenges.

Attendee Experience

Applicable, valuable and immediate opportunity to add value for clients.

—L. Campbell, MB

Why is this Timely?

Every year there are significant tax and economic changes announced in federal budgets and economic updates from the Finance department. This information is necessary to facilitate end-to-end financial planning: from filing accurate and audit-proof tax returns, to planning investment, retirement, succession, estate and trust solutions.

These Knowledge Bureau Education Days will help you better serve your clients with deep knowledge and confident skills. Most important, you will be positioned to become a more trusted advisor in a multi-advisory team of professionals who help in end-to-end financial services: from banking to bookkeeping and tax compliance, to holistic family wealth management.
