Professional Financial Planner

The Canadian Retirement Planner's Software™

by David R. Gobeil, MSc, CPA, CA, CFP® enables you to prepare retirement plans for clients in all life situations. If years away from retirement, develop a savings plan allocating savings between pensions, TFSAs, and RRSPs. If approaching retirement, assess an employer's retirement offer or pension benefit alternatives. If retired, determine the lifestyle expenditures they can afford, plan RRSP and RRIF withdrawals, and project the assets for their estate plan. 

Software runs on a Windows PC, Ongoing technical support by email and phone! 

“I have been using Gobeil’s Canadian Retirement Planner's Software since 1992.  It has been one of the easiest projection tools to use over the years.  With as little as 40 input items (birthdates, etc.), I can produce a retirement projection that will tell my clients if they have enough to retire (or how much they need to save to retire).” Ron Graham, CPA, CA, CFP®, Ron Graham and Associates Ltd.

“I continue to take your excellent CE credits, instead of taking “easier” classes to fulfill my requirements.  My knowledge would not be increased, and I would not stay up to date with the changing legislation and rules the way I do with your updates.” Kath Frazer, CPA, CMA, CFP®, FCUIC
