Client Story

How a Clear Financial Plan Changed Everything for This Canadian Family’s Future

The Problem

Tony Petrielli had it all—or so it seemed. 

With a thriving career, a paid-off mortgage, a well-run business, and robust savings, Tony and his wife Marisa were living the dream many aspire to.

But behind the scenes, Tony felt something wasn’t quite right. 

Their financial life felt scattered—investments, RRSPs, corporate savings—everything was there but not working together.

He knew he wanted more than just “managing money.” He wanted a strategy. 

A clear, actionable plan that didn’t just secure their retirement but created a lasting legacy for their two daughters.

It felt like we were throwing darts blindfolded, hoping we’d hit the target. My wife and I wanted more than that. We wanted a plan—a real plan that didn’t just make sense today but secured a legacy for our daughters.

The Solution

He wanted a plan that just made sense. That’s when Tony connected with our lead financial planner Kyle.

Kyle’s approach wasn’t about cookie-cutter advice or overwhelming jargon. 

Instead, he started by truly listening to Tony’s goals and concerns. 

He broke complex financial strategies into simple, actionable insights and even created personalized videos for Tony to share with Marisa. These videos helped bridge the gap and make decision-making easier for both of them.

Bit by bit, Tony and Kyle worked through everything: from tax efficiency and leveraging corporate savings to mapping out a plan for long-term wealth and legacy building. 

What had once felt scattered now had clarity.

At first, I was skeptical. But then he started doing something no one else had done: he listened. I mean, really listened. He took my jumble of questions—about RRSPs, corporate savings, even whether we should keep using a HELOC—and turned them into straightforward insights.

The Outcome

With each conversation, Tony felt less like he was playing financial catch-up and more like he was building something meaningful—for today, tomorrow, and the future.

Tony’s biggest lesson was this: True wealth isn’t just about having money; it’s about having clarity. 

When your financial plan aligns with your goals, you stop guessing and start moving forward with confidence.

It’s not about fancy jargon or overwhelming spreadsheets. It’s about creating a plan that makes sense for you—your family, your goals, your future.

The Insight

Like Tony, many families feel stuck—not because they don’t have enough income or assets but because their financial strategy feels disconnected. 

Without clarity, it’s easy to lose momentum or feel like you’re one bad decision away from chaos.

For Tony, it wasn’t about reinventing the wheel; it was about making smarter decisions with what he already had.

If Tony’s story feels familiar, you’re not alone. Many high-earning families struggle to turn good finances into great legacies. 

The key is having the right guide.

Working with Kyle Pearce has been a game changer for my business. I was looking for a tax-effective way to handle the cash building up in my corporation, and Kyle provided exactly what I needed. He helped me set up a corporate life insurance policy that will benefit my family in the long term, and introduced me to tax-saving strategies I wasn’t aware of before. Kyle’s ability to break down complex financial strategies and tailor his advice to my specific needs made all the difference. I highly recommend his services.

Protect Your Profits From Income Tax

Want to save a significant amount of income tax each year while increasing your tax sheltered net worth?

While Canadian incorporated business owners spend thousands of hours each year owning and operating their profitable businesses, the vast majority spend no time focusing on what really matters: tax planning.

Instead of spending all of your time and energy to make an additional $100,000 of net operating income only to see almost half of it lost in taxes by the time it hits your personal pocket, you should be spending more time tax planning so you can keep more of the money you’re already losing to income taxes.

Our efficient, unique and compliant corporate wealth management and Canadian tax planning structures allow incorporated business owners to minimize their income tax burden, keep more capital for asset accumulation and incorporate an estate plan that creates a legacy that lasts generations for your family.
