Financial Advisor in Bancroft, Ontario
North Hastings is under-served by design: the banks have pulled advisors out of small towns, and what is left is often a branch representative with a product list. We work with Bancroft clients over video and in person, and we bring full independent planning with us.
Our clients here are retirees stretching modest savings, self-employed trades and tourism operators, and families with land that has been in the name for generations. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.

- Group benefits and group retirement plans for Bancroft employers
Why Bancroft clients choose Thompson & Pollock
When there is no employer pension, the timing of CPP and OAS, the order you draw accounts, and the tax bracket you retire into matter more than the investments do. Getting those three right is often worth more than a percentage point of return.
We are independent and we do not sell a shelf. Plan, investments, insurance, tax return and will — one planner, one file, one phone number.

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.
