What I do

Plans built around your life, not a product shelf

Whether you're starting a family, running a business, or counting down to retirement, the work starts with understanding where you actually stand.

01

Retirement Strategies

Build a retirement you don't have to second-guess — one that doesn't depend on guessing when the money runs out.

  • Project the income you'll actually need, year by year
  • Turn savings into a predictable retirement paycheque
  • Reduce the tax drag on withdrawals
  • Review and adjust as your life changes
02

Life & Health Insurance

Coverage sized to your real obligations — mortgage, income, children, business — not a number pulled off a shelf.

  • Term and permanent life insurance
  • Critical illness coverage
  • Disability and income protection
  • Coverage reviews when your situation changes
03

Investments & Savings

A portfolio matched to your timeline and your comfort with risk, explained in plain language before you sign anything.

  • Mutual fund portfolios built around your goals
  • Risk tolerance and time-horizon assessment
  • Regular contribution plans that stay realistic
  • Ongoing performance reviews
04

Family Protection

Make sure the people who depend on you stay financially steady if something happens to you.

  • Income replacement for your household
  • Debt and mortgage protection
  • Guardianship and beneficiary planning
  • Estate and final-expense preparation
05

Registered Plans — RRSP, TFSA, RESP

Use the accounts the tax system already gives you, in the right order, for the goals that matter to you.

  • RRSP strategies to lower taxable income
  • TFSA for flexible, tax-free growth
  • RESP and post-secondary funding for your children
  • Coordinating contributions across accounts
06

Business Owner Strategies

Protect what you've built and keep the business running if a key person is suddenly out of the picture.

  • Tax free growth
  • Benefits for owners and employees
  • Business continuity planning
  • Personal planning for self-employed income

The process

Simple, transparent, and at your pace

You'll know what happens next at every step — and you'll never be asked to decide on the spot.

  1. 01

    First conversation

    A free, no-obligation meeting — in person, by phone or online. We talk about where you are, what worries you, and what you want your money to do.

  2. 02

    Financial review

    I map out your full picture: income, savings, debt, coverage and goals. We figure out your FID number, and then I show you where the gaps and the opportunities actually are.

  3. 03

    Clear recommendations

    You get a straightforward plan with the reasoning behind every recommendation. No jargon, no pressure, no rush to decide.

  4. 04

    Implementation & review

    We put the plan in place and revisit it as your life changes — a new home, a new child, a new job, a new goal.

Tyler Shaver, financial security advisor in Canada

About Tyler

Most people were never taught this — that's the part I fix first

I'm Tyler Shaver. With my background as a high school teacher, financial literacy is key for me. I believe in taking an educational approach and explaining complex financial principles in a simple way.

I help people get to retirement earlier with more money, and I help those who are already retired pass their money safely and easily to their beneficiaries.

I have 3 kids that play sports, which is why giving back to the community is so important to me. Whether you're just starting out or preparing your estate, the work is always practical and focused on your real needs.

I am fully licensed across all Canadian provinces. I serve clients in English and French, in person at our Ottawa office, or by phone and video anywhere in Canada if that's easier for you.

Three things you can count on

Keeping it simple

Financial products are full of jargon. My job is to translate it, so you can make the decision yourself instead of taking my word for it.

No pressure

You will never be pushed into a product. If the honest answer is that you don't need something, that's the answer you get.

Long-term relationship

A plan written once and never revisited isn't a plan. I stay in touch and adjust as your life changes.
