We’re Taking a Pause
I’m currently away for medical reasons and am not taking on new tax work at this time. If you’d like to be notified when I reopen my books, please join the waitlist below. An update will be sent out towards the end of February.

Navigating Change
Relationship breakdowns can bring complex financial challenges. These sessions are intended to provide information, clarity and support with the financial issues that are most pressing to you.
Whether it’s a new separation or long-standing or even if you’re just contemplating it – whatever stage you’re in – I provide sound, judgment-free advice to help you protect yourself financially and move forward with confidence. Relationship breakdowns are stressful enough. Let’s take away some of the stress and uncertainty that comes from the money stuff.
How Can I Help You?
Taxes
I can help clarify the rules around tax claims for children and child tax benefit, and I can help correct any issues with CRA that may have occurred.
Court Proceedings and Support
We can explore what the rules are around child support, spousal support, special expenses, and the division of debt and assets. I can also help you gather financial disclosures for court, or help interpret your ex-partners disclosures.
Financial Protection
I deeply understand financial abuse – both from a professional and personal perspective. I offer strategies to protect yourself financially during and after separation.
These hour-long sessions can be invaluable in terms of saving court costs, protecting your credit, getting what you are legally entitled to in a more timely and effective matter, and in easing anxiety.

“Most women who have been in an abusive relationship have also been a victim of Economic Abuse.”(Canadian Centre for Women’s Empowerment) and yet it’s rarely talked about.
