Cutting through industry “noise” to achieve clarity in your financial plan
Growing up in team sports, Rob learned and lives the reality that success lies in being a collective group, and that challenges must be faced together in achieving a goal. Clients greatly appreciate Rob for his consultative approach to financial planning. He will help you build a plan by first learning your entire financial story and goals. Just as when Rob coached senior athletic teams in Canada and abroad, his characteristics of persistence, patience, and creativity come together as a core strength, when finding different ways to present information until his client feels comfortable in understanding the direction and recommendations. Importance of Planning Rob believes that creating a solid financial plan is the necessary first step in advising clients on financial products and investments. Financial options cannot be offered as life solutions without first building a personalized plan for using them. The most valuable piece in any financial puzzle, is a solid plan. Rate of return on investments is a fundamental marker of success, but often a short-term one. The bigger picture of ensuring your products match your overall planning needs is a bigger guarantee of long-term financial health. Rob sees his role as helping clients build a plan and a process, then fine tuning it - and the underlying financial products - to perfection. Personally, as a current member and previous board member of the Progress Club, Rob is actively engaged in the Club’s mandate of focused giving. Focused giving is about providing full support of volunteer time and financial means, to a small number of select charities. This way, a marked and focused impact can be made through donation of funds and giving of time. The popular annual Sports Celebrity Dinner, and Spring Auction are the Progress Clubs key fundraising events.
