Turn money stress into calm wealth and freedom of time

The Community is the main entry point for most people.Calm Money Community - CLICK THIS LINK FOUNDING PRICEThe home base, and the right fit for most people. The calculators and guides behind my videos. Monthly live Q&As where I work through real questions on camera. Group coaching when enough members want the same topic. And a place to ask the messy version of your question without a 1:1 engagement.It's also where the other half of money lives. The part that isn't math. The math matters.

What I help with

Retirement planning
Clear income by age, RRSP, RRIF, TFSA, and non-registered draw order, CPP and OAS timing, OAS clawback protection, survivor scenarios, and sustainable spending plans you can actually run.
Corporate and business owner planning
CCPC drawdown sequencing, GRIP, CDA, and RDTOH tracking, salary versus dividend decisions, holdco and family trust integration, and how your corporate plan fits with your personal plan. CPA-led, not a referral.
Tax-aware decisions
High-level planning to reduce drag, avoid common traps, and use the right account at the right time. Returns are filed by your tax preparer. The planning behind them is mine.
Budget and cash-flow systems
A simple plan and a weekly autopilot you will actually run. Built around your real life, not a 50-line spreadsheet.
Structure and account setup
Clean account order for Canadians, asset location across registered and non-registered, and education on being efficient with your investments. Not investment advice, just education.
The emotional side of money
Money stress, shame, and avoidance cost more than any tax mistake. The plan we build accounts for what you feel about money, not just the spreadsheet.
Education first
Plain language. Tools you own. You stay in control. Every claim traced back to a real source.

About Brian

I am a CPA in Halifax with 15 plus years across audit at PwC, many deals in pharma and med device, corporate finance, and product manager at Sonos. I left the corporate track in early 2026 to do this full-time, because the math of money is the easy half. The hard half is the stress, the shame, the avoidance, and the way it quietly costs you years. The goal of working with me is a plan you can actually run on your own, with the numbers right and the noise turned down.

Good to know
• Coaching & education only — I don’t manage money or sell products.
• Billing via Stripe; receipts provided.
• Reschedule with ≥24-hour notice; missed sessions forfeit.
• I work with clients in Canada.
