Fund education without compromising the rest of the plan
Education funding is simple in theory, but the account rules and grant mechanics make the details matter. We use a structured process and a planning system that lets us build, track, and adjust your strategy quickly as assumptions change.
Model grants, expected returns, and education cost inflation
Design a monthly contribution plan that fits your cash flow
Track progress and update the plan without starting over
How education planning works
The objective is to turn a vague goal into a practical monthly plan. We build the strategy around your current RESP room and update it as your timeline, cash flow, and education assumptions evolve.
Confirm timeline and school assumptions
Map RESP room and grant eligibility
Set a monthly contribution target
Track and adjust over time
Scenario planning that reflects real outcomes
Two children can have very different education costs. We model scenarios so your plan stays realistic, even when the paths are not identical.
Stays in-province and lives at home
Lower housing costs can change the funding target and contribution pace. We design a plan that is efficient without overfunding.
Leaves province for school
Higher living costs and travel can materially shift the required monthly savings. We build the plan so the funding path is clear early.
Best practices
Start with the monthly target
A realistic monthly contribution is more useful than a distant lump-sum goal.
Optimize for grants
We plan contributions to maximize eligible government support where applicable.
Keep assumptions adjustable
Education costs and timelines shift. The plan should be easy to update.
Use only confirmed RESP room
We build the plan around available RESP room, then expand as capacity grows.
Make the plan visible
Clients should be able to see progress and understand what changes mean.
Review annually, not reactively
A scheduled review prevents rushed decisions when deadlines approach.
Common mistakes we prevent
Funding without a schedule
Without a monthly target, families often underfund early and then feel pressured later. We turn the goal into a clear monthly plan.
Ignoring grant mechanics
Grant rules influence what “efficient” looks like. We model grants directly so the plan reflects actual outcomes.
Plans that cannot adapt
Education paths change. We build a system-based plan that can be updated quickly without rebuilding from scratch.
Where we fit
We coordinate the strategy, account mechanics, and implementation plan. Once the approach is agreed, we prompt the next steps and the client can follow progress through the portal.
The value is speed and clarity. What used to take an hour can be done in minutes, and adjustments can be made on the spot when assumptions change.
What success looks like
Success is a plan that is easy to follow, easy to update, and aligned with your broader financial priorities. The monthly target is clear, progress is visible, and changes are handled deliberately instead of reactively.
