Edmonton Fee-Only Financial Planner & Advisors

Edmonton’s economy moves in cycles, and the financial lives of people who live and work here tend to move with it.

Energy sector income, real estate decisions, corporate structures, and retirement planning all land on the same plate at once

At Tetrault Wealth, we work with high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners across Edmonton who need a financial strategy that holds up across all of those moving parts. We also offer limited standalone fee-only financial plans for those not seeking ongoing wealth management.

Who We Work With

Our Edmonton clients come from diverse industries, but they share a common need: professional guidance to help manage increasingly sophisticated financial situations.

We regularly work with:

  • Energy sector professionals and executives managing bonuses, deferred compensation, stock options, or variable income.
  • Business owners planning for corporate growth, tax efficiency, succession, or retirement.
  • Professionals with growing investment portfolios who want proactive wealth management.
  • Families building multi-generational wealth through coordinated tax, investment, and estate planning.
  • Pre-retirees and retirees seeking sustainable, tax-efficient retirement income strategies.

Alberta's tax environment offers distinct advantages, and making the most of them requires specific knowledge of how provincial and federal rules interact. We bring that knowledge into every engagement.

Our Core Approach: Active Wealth Management

Active wealth management means more than producing a plan and handing it over. It means staying involved, staying current, and keeping your financial strategy working as intended.

ongoing
Portfolio management: Your investment portfolio is professionally monitored and managed based on your objectives, risk tolerance, and long-term financial goals. We make ongoing adjustments as market conditions and your financial priorities evolve.
Active portfolio
Financial planning that evolves: A new income source, a business transition, or a change in family structure all warrant a plan that moves accordingly.
tax
Tax coordination: We examine how your RRSPs, TFSAs, corporate accounts, and non-registered assets interact and work to reduce your overall tax burden across all of them.
umbrella-icon
Retirement income planning: We develop withdrawal strategies to produce sustainable income, manage tax exposure, and preserve capital over the long term.
Estate planning integration: Protecting your legacy requires careful coordination. We integrate estate planning into your broader investment and tax strategy to help transfer wealth efficiently while supporting your family’s long-term financial goals.

Ongoing adjustments: Financial planning is an ongoing process. Through regular reviews, we proactively adjust your strategy to reflect legislative changes, market conditions, and evolving personal priorities.

Understanding Your Options

If you're searching for a fee-only financial planner in Edmonton, you'll likely encounter several different advisory models. Understanding how they differ can help you choose the approach that best fits your needs.

Fee-Only vs. Ongoing Wealth Management

Fee-Only / Fee-For-Service Planning

Ongoing Wealth Management

Best suited for:

Fee-only financial planning is ideal for individuals seeking objective financial advice through a one-time engagement.

Best suited for:

Ongoing wealth management is designed for individuals and families seeking continuous financial advice and active portfolio management.

Typically includes:

  • A standalone financial plan or consultation
  • Retirement income projections
  • High-level tax planning guidance
  • General investment recommendations

Includes:

  • Ongoing financial planning
  • Continuous tax strategy
  • Regular reviews and real-time adjustments
  • Active portfolio management
  • Retirement income planning

Worth knowing:

This is a one-time engagement. Ongoing portfolio management, tax coordination, and plan updates fall outside the scope. You receive the plan and manage implementation from there.

Worth knowing:

Your strategy remains coordinated and actively managed over time. You are not left navigating execution on your own after a single meeting.

When Each Approach Makes Sense

Fee-for-service planning may suit you if:

  • You are at an earlier stage of your financial journey and want an independent starting point
  • You want a one-time plan or a second opinion on your existing approach
  • You are comfortable taking the plan and running with implementation yourself

Active wealth management may be a better fit if:

  • You hold growing or significant investable assets
  • You want your investments, tax strategy, and financial plan operating as a coordinated whole
  • Retirement, business succession, or estate planning is approaching
  • You value an ongoing advisory relationship over periodic, standalone consultations

Edmonton’s financial environment rewards people who plan with intention. Between Alberta’s tax position, the concentration of business and energy wealth across the city, and the retirement decisions that follow high-earning careers, the stakes of getting it right are real.

We work with Edmonton clients in person and through secure video conferencing, and we serve Canadians across the country. Our approach accounts for Alberta’s provincial tax considerations, registered account strategy, and retirement income coordination within the broader Canadian financial system.

If active wealth management in Edmonton sounds like the right fit, we would welcome the conversation.

  • Book a complimentary wealth strategy session to walk through your current financial position with our team
  • Register for our Retirement Planning Masterclass to explore income and drawdown strategies built for Canadian retirees
  • Request a portfolio review if you want an experienced perspective on your current investment approach

Not certain which model fits where you are right now? Many people start with a fee-only plan and find that ongoing coordination becomes the natural next step. If that resonates, a conversation costs nothing.

Not sure if active wealth management is right for you?

A search often begins with a fee-only planner, then shifts toward a need for ongoing coordination across investments, tax strategy, and retirement income. If that sounds familiar, a conversation is worth having.
