As a couple, we had a lot of questions and concerns about securing our financial future and ensuring that we do not outlive our retirement savings. Marlene took the time to listen to both of us and understand our goals. She created a comprehensive, tailored retirement strategy and financial road map that gave us both peace of mind. We appreciated how she broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, and she was incredibly patient with us as we navigated the details. From analyzing our current assets to projecting future income needs, she assured us that we were on track to retire comfortably and confidently. Thanks to Marlene, we’re feeling much more secure about our future and have a clear plan in place. We couldn’t be more grateful and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for expert, personalized retirement planning!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The process for retirement planning can be complex, including the process of teasing out the expectations of partners. Marlene has a true person-centred approach, as well as tons of technical expertise. We completed the process feeling confident that all angles had been considered and that we have a plan that is fit for our needs and wishes.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really enjoyed working with Marlene on mapping out my financial plan and various scenarios for retirement and streams of income. She was incredibly thorough and the process was designed in a way not to be overwhelming and allowed for time to digest and ask all appropriate questions. I would highly recommend for anyone in the pre-retirement phase who doesn't have a pension and needs a clear plan for how and when they can retire.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marlene guided us through the retirement process from beginning to end. She not only did a review from a financial viewpoint, but she also did a comprehensive assessment of all our lifestyle goals. Marlene took time to listen and ask the right questions to provide a road map to retirement that included goals and timelines, a review of income sources, investment strategy, expense projections, tax implications, risks and estate planning. She made the experience personal, stress free and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Buxton Financial for anyone considering retirement.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and are approaching retirement but had no concrete idea if we could realistically retire within the next year or two while maintaining our current lifestyle. Marlene was terrific in assessing our situation and working through the numbers to give us the short and long term projections. She was also was very helpful with our tax planning as I am self-employed. I never realized how stressful planning for retirement could be but she certainly helped with that and I have a much better feel for what to expect and different ways to navigate going forward. On a personal level, my wife and I found her pleasant to work with and also flexible with her scheduling. Thanks Marlene!

Our Process
Retirement income planning requires more than projections. It’s your life and finances together that shape your retirement. Decisions in one area affect the other, which is why your plan must integrate both.
Through a structured series of meetings, we work together to address the key financial decisions of retirement.
Each step builds on the last. Aligning your income plan, tax strategy, and long-term goals.
Between meetings, detailed analysis is completed and presented as clear, well-supported recommendations, which allows you to make informed decisions with confidence.
Is Fee-Only Planning For You?
Fee-only financial planning works best for individuals and couples who are approaching retirement — or already living in it — and want to move forward with confidence.
We’re the right fit if:
- You value independent, professional advice and practical guidance
- You want thoughtful direction, not sales pressure.
- You need a strategy, not a product.
- And you want a plan built around your life — not a template.
Decisions made during retirement can shape several decades. If you want to approach them with practical guidance and informed decision making, fee-only financial planning may be for you. Book a complimentary consultation today.
