Why choose US

A Relationship Built on Integrity

We provide independent wealth management and build advanced financial planning and tax mitigation strategies. By limiting our advisor-to-client ratios, we ensure your financial plan receives the precision and personal attention it deserves.

50 bps Lower

Independent Fee Advantage

As a fully independent firm, we eliminate the high overhead of big bank models. We typically see a 50 bps fee reduction versus bank offerings to ensure your decision is based on the quality of advice, not the cost. This can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in fee savings over the long term.

Complimentary Filing

Integrated Tax Strategy

Our internal tax team files your returns at no cost to ensure strategies are implemented without error. By aligning your financial and tax plans, we aim to minimize your lifetime obligation to the CRA. Available for all families above our minimum size.

100 Client Limit

Dedicated Advisor Access

We limit our planners to roughly 100 families, allowing for quarterly touch-points and unlimited meetings. Unlike high-volume firms, we ensure you never have to chase us for updates or clarity about your accounts.

10x Scale Advantage

Global Investment Access

Our clients are not restricted by bank-mandated "buy lists." Our clients have access to top-tier portfolio solutions, while also getting access to inaccessible investment opportunities typically reserved for the ultra wealthy.

“We’ve been with Dunbrook Associates since 1995 and have nothing but excellent things to say about their knowledge, expertise and professionalism."
