Losing a job can feel overwhelming — financially, emotionally, and personally. You may be wondering: “How long can I afford to be off work?” or “What should I do with my severance package?” This is where thoughtful financial planning can bring clarity during a stressful transition.

First, we help you slow down, understand your severance package, review your cash flow, and create a plan before making any major decisions.

That may include:

• Looking at whether your severance should be taken as a lump sum or salary continuance
• Reviewing tax planning opportunities
• Understanding what happens to your group benefits, and carefully assessing pension options before anything irreversible is done

Second, we build out different financial plan scenarios — returning to work, consulting, semi-retirement, or even full retirement — so you can see what is possible. We also review your investment strategy to ensure your portfolio reflects your needs, not the emotions of the moment.
