Ajax · Durham Region

Financial Advisor in Ajax, Ontario

Independent wealth, pension, insurance and business planning for Ajax — one planner who coordinates the corporation, the investments, the insurance, the will and the tax return.

Thompson & Pollock Wealth Inc. serves Ajax households and business owners from our Oshawa office, a straight run west on the 401, and in person here in Ajax. Clients usually arrive after being handed a single product by a bank branch and realising nobody ever looked at the whole picture — the corporation, the rental property, the insurance, the estate and the tax return together.

We work with young families in Nottingham and Riverside, established owners along the Harwood corridor, commuters on the Ajax GO line, employees at Ontario Power Generation and the Ajax Pickering Hospital, and incorporated trades operating out of the Clements Road and Bayly Street industrial belt. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.

What you get when you become a client

  • Comprehensive retirement, estate and tax-efficiency planning
  • Defined-benefit pension and commuted value analysis, modelled in dollars
  • Investment management through the Optimize Private Client Program
  • Life, critical illness, disability and long-term care insurance — full Canadian market
  • Personal and corporate tax preparation, including rental and self-employed returns
  • Will drafting and Powers of Attorney — drafted and updated as part of the plan
  • Group benefits and group retirement plans for Ajax employers

Why Ajax clients choose Thompson & Pollock

Ajax is a commuter town with real business depth behind it, and the two need different plans. We build both — an independent, fee-transparent plan for the household, and a corporate strategy for the owner — and we keep them coordinated so one does not quietly undo the other.

Because we are independent, we can put an OPG or hospital pension decision, a corporate insurance strategy and an investment portfolio on the same page and tell you plainly which one moves the needle first. No product quotas, no head-office script.

EXAMPLE CLIENT SCENARIOS

How we help clients in Ajax

Incorporated contractor, no plan for the corporation

Business owner, 45, incorporated renovation company

Retained earnings were building in the corporation with no strategy for salary, dividends or investing.

What we did

  • Reviewed salary vs. dividend mix with his accountant
  • Set up corporate investing and corporate-owned insurance
  • Added a buy/sell plan with his business partner

One coordinated plan across the business and household, reviewed every year.

Young family starting out

Couple, early 30s, two young children

New mortgage, no wills, and an RESP they'd opened but never contributed to.

What we did

  • Set up RESP contributions to capture the government grant
  • Sized life and disability coverage to the mortgage and income
  • Arranged first wills and powers of attorney

The basics covered in a few meetings, with a budget they could keep.

Retiree consolidating accounts

Recently retired, 66, accounts at three institutions

RRSPs, a TFSA and a small pension spread across banks, with no view of total fees or income.

What we did

  • Consolidated statements into one picture of fees and holdings
  • Built a tax-aware withdrawal order for RRIF, TFSA and pension

One clear monthly income plan and fully disclosed fees.

These are illustrative examples of common situations, not specific clients. Every plan depends on your own circumstances; results are not guaranteed.

Before you book

What happens next?

We reply with the next 2–3 available meeting slots. Once you pick one, you’ll get a calendar invite and a short prep note so we can make the most of the time.

How long does it take?

Most first meetings are 20–30 minutes. We’ll ask a few questions, share what we see, and only move forward if it makes sense for you.

What should I bring?

Nothing is required. If you have a recent tax return, group benefits summary, or investment statement handy, it helps — but only if you want to share it.
