Ben Chiasson MFA-P™, Chartered Financial Planner®
Many families have worked hard to build their wealth but can find it challenging to connect all the pieces of their financial lives. Investments, retirement planning, taxes, estate considerations, insurance, and family goals are often managed separately, making it difficult to see the bigger picture.
Ben helps clients bring these moving parts together into a clear and coordinated plan. By taking the time to understand each family's unique circumstances, he transforms complex financial information into practical recommendations and an accessible roadmap for the future.
As part of Coleen Taylor's collaborative wealth management team, Ben works closely with fellow advisors and the Private Wealth Planning team at IG. When additional expertise is needed, clients benefit from the support of specialists in tax planning, estate planning, insurance, business succession, and wealth transfer strategies. This team-based approach helps ensure recommendations are thoughtful, comprehensive, and tailored to each client's needs.
Ben is passionate about helping clients feel confident in their financial decisions. His goal is to simplify the complexity of a family's financial picture and provide a tangible path forward, allowing clients to focus on what matters most: their family, their future, and the life they want to build.
