Brighton · Northumberland

Financial Advisor in Brighton, Ontario

Independent wealth, insurance and business planning for Brighton families, retirees and the trades and small-business owners between Presqu'ile and Highway 401.

Thompson & Pollock Wealth Inc. serves Brighton from our Oshawa office and through in-person meetings in the area. Brighton clients tend to come to us because they want one integrated plan — the investments, the corp, the insurance, the will and the tax return — handled by a single team rather than four different specialists.

We work with retirees who relocated for the lake and the Apple Route, professionals commuting to Trenton and CFB Trenton, real estate investors, and incorporated trades operators serving Brighton and Quinte West. That trades-and-contracting work spans residential and commercial plumbers, HVAC installers and service techs, licensed electricians, frame-to-finish carpentry crews and GCs leading full renovations from Brighton through Quinte West.

What you get when you become a client

  • Comprehensive retirement, estate and tax-efficiency planning
  • Investment management through the Optimize Private Client Program
  • Life, critical illness, disability and long-term care insurance — full Canadian market
  • Personal, corporate, rental and self-employed tax preparation
  • Will drafting and Powers of Attorney — included as part of the plan
  • Group benefits and group retirement plans for Brighton-area employers

Why Brighton clients choose Thompson & Pollock

We're independent — no proprietary products, no quotas. We shop the whole Canadian market and recommend what actually fits. For Brighton retirees that means clean, tax-efficient income planning; for incorporated owners it means real corporate-tax strategy from an advisor who has built, scaled and sold businesses of his own.

Your will and Powers of Attorney are drafted and updated as part of the program at no additional charge.

EXAMPLE CLIENT SCENARIOS

How we help clients in Brighton

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

  • Added a buy/sell plan with his business partner

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

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.
