What to Expect from Your First Meeting with a Financial Planner in Calgary

What to Expect from Your First Meeting with a Financial Planner in Calgary

Meeting with a financial planner in Calgary for the first time can feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

At MRG Wealth Management, we believe the first meeting should be welcoming, low-pressure, and focused entirely on you. Whether you’re planning retirement, managing business wealth, or just trying to get organized, here’s what Calgary clients can expect in that initial session.

1. A Conversation — Not a Sales Pitch

This isn’t about products or investment performance. Your first meeting is a Introduction Conversation — designed to understand you, not sell to you.

We’ll ask questions like:

• What are your most important financial goals?
• What worries or stresses you financially?
• What would a successful financial future look like for you and your family?

There’s no obligation — just an opportunity to see if we’re a good fit.

2. Reviewing Your Financial Landscape

We’ll walk through the key areas of your financial life, including:

• Income and cash flow
• Savings and investments
• Debts or liabilities
• Insurance and estate documents
• Business ownership or corporate structure (if applicable)

You don’t need to bring spreadsheets or statements — just a high-level understanding of where things stand.

3. Identifying Opportunities and Risks

Based on our initial conversation, we’ll highlight:

• Opportunities to save more tax
• Gaps in your current plan (or lack of plan)
• Ways to improve investment alignment
• Coordination between personal and corporate finances
• Legacy and estate considerations

We won’t give formal financial advice in this meeting — but we will help you see what’s possible.

4. Explaining Our Process and Fees

You’ll learn:

• How our Personal CFO approach works
• What finanical planning areas we cover (investments, tax, retirement, estate, etc.)
• How often we meet and what’s included
• How we’re compensated (no product commissions or hidden fees)

You’ll walk away with clarity — and a written overview of what working together could look like.

5. No Pressure — Just a Path Forward

You’re welcome to take time to think about it. If we both feel aligned, we’ll outline next steps and begin the onboarding process. If not, we’ll part ways with no pressure or hard sell.

Many clients say they feel more clear, confident, and in control after just one meeting — whether they move forward or not.

Final Thoughts

Your first meeting with a financial planner in Calgary should feel like the beginning of a partnership — not a transaction.

At MRG Wealth Management, we’re here to listen, understand your goals, and offer expert guidance through every stage of your financial journey. No jargon. No judgment. Just personalized planning that fits your life.
