About Alison Anderson

Alison is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist (CFDS) and is accredited as an Advanced Collaborative Professional (ACP).  She is trained in Family Law Mediation and teaches Collaborative Process courses. She is a member of the Board of Directors for the Ontario Association of Collaborative Professionals and a member of Collaborative Practice Toronto.

Alison is a fee-for-service financial planner and her practice has been focused in the area of separation and divorce since January 2010.  Unlike many CFP professionals, she does not manage client stock portfolios nor does she sell any products, such as life insurance.  This fee-for-service model ensures that any advice is free from conflict of interest and not dependent upon opportunity for future business.

The added value that Alison brings to the process allows clients to fully understand all aspects of their financial situation, the impact of the settlement options available to them, and to maximize income-saving opportunities and social benefits. She believes that her role as a financial professional in the field of divorce complements the legal and mediation professional, preserves wealth and relationships while reducing the financial and emotional costs of the process.  

Alison is an experienced and compassionate financial professional who believes that however challenging the situation, there is a viable solution.
