Your advanced financial planning team

Shoemaker Plaxton Group Private Wealth Management is supported by a team of industry-leading lawyers and accountants. Collectively, they are dedicated to assisting clients on a case-by-case basis. Their areas of specialization include estate planning, pension transfer feasibility, reviewing shareholder agreements, corporate reorganization, trusts, holding companies, advanced tax minimization, cross border tax planning, and any comprehensive financial task that helps build and preserve intergenerational family wealth.

With the understanding that affluent Canadians have unique needs and concerns that come with managing wealth, Shoemaker Plaxton Group provides a deeper level of support for those with the most complex needs. Our services are best suited for business owners, executives, and U.S. citizens living in Canada with $1,000,000 or more in investable assets.

Via email, phone, or an in-person meeting, the team provides clients with the industry’s best advice and execution. In cases where your own accountant or lawyer may also be included in the planning process in order to ensure a coordinated approach to managing your wealth, the Shoemaker Plaxton Group will work with you and your trusted professional team to provide you with a holistic wealth management solution.
