Retirement Income Planning Estate Planning

The banks and captive advisors only offer their own brand of products as ‘solutions’ to your unique financial needs. Therefore, they must fit you into their box and will often make similar recommendations, whether you are 18, 48 or 80.

For someone as individual as you are – you deserve a personalized financial plan, with strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals.

As an independent broker, deGraaf Financial Strategies researches the financial markets for you, recommending only the options and solutions that best meet or exceed your needs – no boxes!

Our mission is to guide you towards and into the retirement season with personalized financial and retirement income advice. Finances are difficult enough to navigate, so we leave the jargon at the door and help you make sense of it all.

So if you’re tired of being treated like a number – or your advisor keeps changing branches or companies – or you feel like your financial well-being deserves more than a cookie cutter approach – then give deGraaf Financial Strategies a try – we’d be happy to earn your business!

From real, personal experiences Léony understands the most difficult time for any family is when a loved one passes…

Léony deGraaf Hastings practically grew up in the financial industry, with her father being a distinguished advisor for more than 50 years. Subsequently, Léony began her own career in the family firm over 20 years ago and has since built her own successful financial planning practice in Burlington where she resides with her husband and young adult kids.

Appreciating the time she spent with her grandparents as a child, and losing her Mom to breast cancer in 2000, Léony found herself gravitating towards helping seniors and their families with complete retirement and estate planning. Recognizing this passion, she took specialized education to earn her Elder Planning Counselor (EPC) and Certified Executor’s Adviser (CEA) designations,. Léony is also fully qualified as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) – the most recognized designation worldwide as the gold standard in financial planning proficiency.
