Typical Clients

Mark enjoys working with families and individuals who are inclined to share their personal financial success with organizations endeavouring to make a difference both locally in our communities as well as around the world.  He strives to find unique solutions and tools to ensure that impactful giving happens.  All of this is done through a lens of planning with a client’s existing professional team with whom Mark collaborates to make sure that their giving goals are met.  His clients generally have wealth held in their companies or have accrued significant gains through appreciation of securities and now seek solutions to both minimize taxes and donate to causes that are important to them.  It is his privilege to work with like-minded individuals and families to meet the above goals.
