Financial Planning for Business Owners and Incorporated Professionals in Canada

Independent, Advice-Only Financial Planning for Business Owners

Objective Financial Partners provides fee-only, advice-only financial planning for business owners and incorporated professionals across Canada. We help clients coordinate their corporate and personal finances, including retirement planning, corporate investment strategy, salary and dividend decisions, tax reduction, and estate and succession planning.

Our financial planners work with incorporated professionals and entrepreneurs as well as retirees with holding companies. We do not sell investments or receive commissions for recommending financial products. We can also coordinate financial planning with corporate and personal tax services through Objective Tax & Accounting.

Why Business Owners Need Specialized Financial Planning

Business owners face decisions that affect both personal wealth and corporate health, such as:

  • Deciding how much to retain and invest within a corporation versus withdrawing personally
  • Comparing salary and dividends, including the implications for RRSP room and CPP benefits
  • Coordinating corporate investments with RRSPs, TFSAs, personal savings, and debt repayment
  • Developing tax efficient retirement withdrawal strategies
  • Planning for business succession, a potential sale, and eventual estate taxes

These decisions are interconnected. A comprehensive financial plan considers the impact on personal retirement income, corporate and personal taxes, and long-term wealth.

Our specialized service ensures your financial plan is holistic, integrated, and actionable.
