Explore Our ApproachUnlike corporate training programs, our approach recognizes that financial decisions ripple through families. We teach strategies that work for grandparents, parents, and young adults simultaneously.
Learn how to coordinate financial goals across different life stages. Our Vancouver-based approach considers RRSP transitions, RESP maximization, and estate planning as interconnected pieces.
Every lesson draws from actual Canadian families we've worked with. You'll study situations involving job loss in Calgary, housing decisions in Toronto, and small business transitions in rural communities.
Financial education doesn't end with a certificate. We provide frameworks for regular family money meetings and tools for discussing finances across generations without conflict.
Here's how families typically progress through our program, from initial assessment to long-term financial confidence.
We start by mapping your family's current financial landscape. This isn't just about income and expenses – we examine communication patterns, individual goals, and generational money beliefs that might be creating friction.
Families work through our structured modules covering budgeting, investment basics, tax strategy, and insurance planning. Each session includes homework that involves family discussions about real financial decisions.
This is where theory meets reality. Families begin implementing new strategies while receiving ongoing support. Common challenges include coordinating investment accounts and establishing emergency funds across multiple households.
Graduation doesn't mean goodbye. Most families continue with our quarterly check-ins and have access to our resource library. Major life events – new babies, job changes, retirement – often prompt return visits.
These questions come up in nearly every initial consultation. If you're wondering about something else, just reach out.
This is actually our specialty. We've worked with families where one person earns six figures while another is on a fixed pension. The key is creating strategies that benefit everyone without creating resentment or dependence.
Not at all. Some families have one or two champions who take the lead, then share key concepts with others. However, we find the best outcomes happen when at least one person from each generation actively participates.
Financial advisors typically focus on products and portfolio management. We teach the underlying knowledge so families can make informed decisions independently. Think of it as learning to cook versus ordering takeout.
Money conflicts often stem from different assumptions and communication styles rather than fundamental disagreements. Our program includes specific modules on family financial communication and conflict resolution.
droselanthiq was founded by families who understand the unique challenges of coordinating financial goals across generations.
