Financial Advisor in Colborne, Ontario
Colborne sits right between Brighton and Grafton on the 401, and most of the families we help here are working through one of three things: retiring on a modest but well-built nest egg, passing a farm or small business to the next generation, or sorting out an estate that was never properly planned.
We come to you. There is no advantage in driving to a tower in Toronto to have a conversation that is really about your land, your pension and your kids. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.

Why Colborne clients choose Thompson & Pollock
Small-town wealth is usually concentrated: a paid-off house, a piece of land, an RRSP and a pension. That concentration is exactly what creates the tax problem at death, because everything is taxed at once, at the top rate, in a single year. We measure it and fix it while you are healthy enough to have options.
We are independent and we are not going anywhere. The same planner does the plan, the investments, the insurance, the tax return and the will — and answers the phone when you call.

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.
