Financial Advisor in Minden, Ontario
Minden Hills is cottage country with a permanent population that quietly runs it — trades, tourism operators, township and health-care staff, and retirees who traded a city house for a place on the Gull River.
Distance is not an obstacle. Most of our Highlands clients work with us over video with documents signed electronically, and we come north for the meetings that deserve a kitchen table. Within the trades we work hands-on with plumbing contractors, HVAC and heating businesses, electrical companies, framing companies and renovation general contractors.
What you get when you become a client
- Comprehensive retirement, estate and tax-efficiency planning
- Defined-benefit pension and commuted value analysis, modelled in dollars
- Investment management through the Optimize Private Client Program

- Personal and corporate tax preparation, including rental and self-employed returns
- Cottage succession and waterfront estate planning across the Haliburton Highlands
- Will drafting and Powers of Attorney — drafted and updated as part of the plan
- Group benefits and group retirement plans for Minden employers
Why Minden clients choose Thompson & Pollock
Two problems dominate up here. First, the family property: appreciated, loved, and taxable at death. Second, retirement income for people with no pension and lumpy self-employed earnings. Both are solvable, but only with a plan that puts real numbers on the table.
We are independent and we do the whole file — plan, investments, insurance, personal and corporate tax, and the will — so nothing falls between advisors.

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.
