Since 1996, I have owned a financial advisory practice providing education and empowering my clients to make smart, informed decisions about their money.

I believe that an educated client is a satisfied client and that financial success is a matter of choice, not chance.  I love to help people make informed financial choices to develop a strategic plan so that they can turn their dreams into reality.

Life changes such as divorce, death or retirement can be very stressful and the financial industry can be overwhelming and confusing.  I help people make informed decisions when it comes to taxation, savings, investments, education and estate and succession planning.  I can help to ensure your estate is well prepared.

Staying current with all aspects of investment and financial planning is very important to me.  As a testament to this I have earned my Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designations to ensure I provide the highest quality of advice across a wide range of topics.

My client are always impressed with my responsiveness - to connect with me please email me at gpspangaro@ipcsecurities.com or call me at 905.469.2404.

I love working on puzzles, putting the pieces together to achieve a spectacular, sometimes surprising result is truly rewarding. I use this approach when I am working with my client’s finances….it is just like a puzzle, each piece needs to be analyzed and put together slowly to achieve the best result.

Another passion of mine is helping people, this passion naturally guided me into my specialty with Estates and Trusts.  Helping a client plan and navigate through such a difficult time in their lives is truly rewarding.  This may be through a variety of ways such as Executor Support Services and Professional Executor Services..

Outside of the office I volunteer on several committees within the wonderful community of Guelph, as well as can always be found at local parks walking my Labrador Retriever (or he is walking me!)

Are you an Executor or Executrix? Working with a Certified Executor Advisor will help you navigate through the 17 potential professions involved in settling an estate needed to achieve  the best results for everyone involved.  I first became interested in this area after helping my mother through her journey in settling my father’s estate.  She had so many questions and was receiving conflicting advice and incorrect information from her financial service providers.  Who knew there were ways of filing his taxes to multiply his basic exemption?...or specific planning opportunities to restructure her finances to eliminate the Old Age Security Claw-back she now faces? Knowledge is power and the practical estate administration advice a Certified Executor Advisor can provide is second to none in the industry.  I have walked this journey along side my mom and know what you are facing and would be pleased to help.
