• Specialized Expertise in Divorce Financials
    Since 2020, I have guided individuals and couples through the financial and tax complexities of separation and divorce. While my primary focus is within the Collaborative Practice framework, I also assist clients working outside this setting alongside their teams.
  • Comprehensive Financial Analysis
    I provide expert analysis on key financial aspects, including:

    • Present and future tax liabilities
    • Pension and asset valuations
    • Spousal and child support calculations
    • Division of assets and more
      My goal is to ensure clients and their legal advisors have a clear understanding of these components when considering settlement options.
  • Extensive Financial Leadership Experience
    With over 27 years in public finance—including 16 years as Chief Financial Officer—I’ve honed skills in:

    • Listening and analysis
    • Generating and presenting options
    • Communicating complex financial matters in accessible terms
      I help clients make informed, confident decisions.
  • Adaptability and Diplomacy
    My public service background has equipped me to navigate challenging situations with professionalism, poise, and thorough research to provide accurate, balanced information.
  • Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist (CFDS)
    Through CFDS training, tailored to Canadian legal and tax environments, I offer:

    • Specialized analytics and scenario forecasting
    • Case studies, reports, and solutions for diverse situations
    • Access to a network of professionals for unique cases
  • Collaborative Family Law Expertise
    I have completed Collaborative Family Law Process Training (Levels I & II), emphasizing:

    • A low-conflict, client-driven approach
    • Goal-oriented settlements where clients retain decision-making authority
  • Proficiency in Family Law Financials
    I am experienced in completing family law financial forms, calculating support ranges, and summarizing financial details for fair, unbiased settlement options.
  • Professional Credentials
    As a Chartered Accountant (CA), Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), and CFDS, I bring the skills to streamline financial processes, reduce conflict, and foster trust. My work prioritizes neutrality, fairness, and the needs of children, when applicable.
  • Client-Centered Guidance
    In Collaborative Practice, you make the decisions. I address differences in financial knowledge by thoroughly explaining all aspects, answering questions, and ensuring both parties feel informed and supported throughout the process.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and cannot provide you with legal advice.  I am not a family or emotional coach and cannot assist you in those matters.  While I am a CPA, I do not offer the traditional Public Accounting services of a CPA and will not prepare your tax returns. Additionally, I do not sell any financial, investment, insurance, or similar products, nor am I affiliated with or compensated by any such companies. I am strictly a fee-for-service independent financial professional working with separating and divorcing couples, working to bring fair and workable settlement and conclusion to their proceedings.
