It’s Financial Planning Week!

November 17 -23

Financial Planning Week is here, and it’s the perfect time to take a fresh look at your financial goals and the steps you’re taking to achieve them.

As Vice President of Wealth Management, I want to personally invite you to explore how working with a financial planner can help you build a more confident and secure future. Whether you’re planning for retirement, saving for a major milestone, or simply looking to make smarter decisions with your money, our team is here to guide you.

I have selected a few insightful reads that highlight the unique value of professional financial planning. Each one is designed to help you feel more informed, more confident, and more in control of your financial journey:

I’d also like to encourage you to take this opportunity to:

  • Schedule a conversation with one of our financial planners to explore how we can support your goals
  • Read the featured articles above (and a few on our website) to deepen your understanding of key financial topics
  • Reflect on your current financial plan and identify areas where you’d like to grow

Financial empowerment starts with awareness, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Warm Regards,

Brad Giroux

Vice President, DJB Wealth Management Inc.
