Millbrook has quietly become one of the most desirable villages between Peterborough and the 407 — heritage homes, acreages, and a growing group of professionals who commute or work from home with a corporation behind them.
That combination produces a specific planning file: strong income, a property worth more than expected, a corporation nobody has optimized, and estate documents that have not been touched since the kids were small. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.
Once a corporation accumulates retained earnings, the questions get real: passive-income grind, how much to leave in, whether a holdco makes sense, and what the shares are worth to your estate. We answer those with numbers and then coordinate the accountant and the will around them.
Independent, small and responsive. Johnathan Pollock has started, scaled and sold businesses himself, so the advice comes from someone who has been on your side of the table.

Before you book
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.
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.
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.
