Planning for Good: What Professional Advisors Should Know

Help Your Clients Give With Purpose: A Guelph Community Foundation Event

Financial advisors, estate lawyers, accountants, and will writers were invited to this free event to learn more about how philanthropic giving can better serve their clients & enjoy an excellent opportunity to network with other local professionals.

Event Overview:

Friday November 21st’s event was a great opportunity to not only learn about ways to include effective philanthropic options for wills and yearly tax benefits, but also to network and meet with some of the incredible financial advisors and will writers and lawyers in our community. We especially enjoyed getting to have these conversations with the delicious coffees and refreshments in hand, provided by Mr. Macaw Brazilian Coffee. We loved getting to hear from the speakers and to hear your questions about including effective philanthropic options to best serve clients. Thank you to speakers, Mike Baker, Jaime Power, Diane Squires, and thank you to BDO Canada’s Guelph office for hosting us.
