She helps her clients understand how each area impacts the others, and what steps are necessary to have her clients move in the direction of their financial goals.
To implement her plans, Anna works with independent industry leaders and is able to provide truly appropriate products that fit her client's needs. Her hand-selected group of strategic partners and associates is picked not only for their proficiency and skill but also based on their underlying philosophy. Anna chooses to work and be affiliated with individuals and organizations that are committed to contribution and positive change.
As a seasoned money educator with the Toronto School Board, the Government of Canada, and some other large organizations, Anna has taught a number of lengthy retirement courses and has been invited to consult on various pensions as they impact the work force. She has been a contributor on retirement planning and wealth management topics for the Globe and Mail and MoneySense magazine and contributed to the book Retirement by Design, prior to embarking on writing The Million Dollar Difference.
