Client Testimonials
“We knew how to save and spend money all through our careers, however when it came to retirement planning, it was a difficult mindset shift to implement a decumulation strategy of spending which “buckets of monies” in a tax efficient manner, all the while not earning a pay cheque.
We were impressed by the way Jason took the time to get a feeling for where we were at financially, and he shared his in-depth knowledge of retirement planning in a professional manner. He always explained everything thoroughly and we never felt uncomfortable asking questions or expressing an opinion. Jason has a caring demeanour and was courteous, patient and easy to work with through many of our scenarios on future needs.
Over the last year, we have been following the retirement action plan and are quite confident with the advice and that the retirement action plan will guide and serve us well.
We highly recommend Jason’s professional retirement services.”
“Jason Evans is an excellent retirement planner. We appreciated his clear and comprehensive explanations of many different financial scenarios. Working with him gave us more confidence that our retirement goals were achievable. We highly recommend him!”
“Before working with Jason, we had done a decent job on our savings for retirement, however we had no clear plan about how to withdraw our funds once we did retire.
Jason helped us through figuring out what our monthly expenses would be based on our retirement goals (he also helped draw out the various aspects of expenses). He took our input and created a plan for withdrawing from our various accounts including CPP/OAS. He also provided a few options based on interest earned on our savings portfolio so we can adjust as time goes on.
Jason has a very nice manner and really made us feel there were no dumb questions. He spent extra time explaining his plans so that we would be comfortable using them on our own going forward.
I recommend anyone needing a hand to develop their retirement planning to work with Jason. You’ll feel more confident moving into your retirement!”
