Financial Advisor in Clarington, Ontario

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

Thompson & Pollock Wealth Inc. serves the whole Municipality of Clarington — Bowmanville, Courtice, Newcastle, Orono and the rural concessions in between — from our Oshawa office minutes down Highway 2. Clarington is where a large share of our trades and small-business clients actually live and work.

We work with Darlington and Ontario Power Generation employees, farm and rural landowners north of Taunton, growing families in Courtice, retirees in Newcastle's older core, and the contractors running shops along Baseline and the Bowmanville industrial park. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.

Why Clarington clients choose Thompson & Pollock

Clarington households often combine a strong pension with a side business or rental property, and the tax interaction between those three is where most plans quietly leak money. We look at all of them together, model the numbers, and put the recommendation in writing.

We are independent, so nothing we recommend is driven by a product shelf. Johnathan Pollock has built and sold businesses himself — succession, buy/sell agreements and getting money out of a corporation efficiently are lived experience here, not theory.

EXAMPLE CLIENT SCENARIOS

How we help clients in Clarington

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.

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.

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.
