About Wealth Management
Wealth Management by Monica Weissmann, based in Toronto Canada, was founded in 2000 to fill a need for financial advisory services. When Monica herself was planning to retire, she sought financial advice. She wanted guidance on what products to buy and when to buy them. Reasonably she expected this financial advice to be in her own best interest as well.
However Monica was unable to find a suitable financial advisor: one that was proactive, unselfish and had the level of professional expertise that she believed would meet her needs.
Monica concluded that there was a gap in the marketplace. She suspected others, like her, wanted unbiased, comprehensive, and tailored financial advice.
Monica understood the importance of retirement financial planning, estate planning and tax planning. So, she decided to start a business that filled the gap that she experienced. Monica created a service that offers: a wide choice of products, timely proactive advice, is tailored to individual goals, and always keeps the client’s best interest in focus.
Monica’s mission became to be the advisor she herself sought! Over the past 18 years, Wealth Management by Monica Weissmann has assisted many clients to build a roadmap toward financial prosperity and stability, to plan for the unexpected and to protect the wealth they have worked so hard to build.
