In life, everyone has their own set of opportunities and challenges, and they’re not all related to finances. Our client families celebrate us for helping them create peace of mind with achievable plans. Our mission statement is simple: We listen, empathize and provide thoughtful counsel on holistic solutions in every area of our clients’ lives. My dad died unexpectedly at 50. Our family was financially and emotionally unprepared, and mom had to figure it out on her own. My mom’s resilience and perseverance left an indelible impact on me and is the reason I built Rubach Wealth with this core purpose: To guide and counsel our clients towards financial independence.A key part of our role is to help clients provide for the people and causes they care about. Regardless of how successful our clients are, there is a piece of financial planning they owe to someone else. That’s why we also explore with clients how insurance can support and enhance their financial plans. When it comes to insurance, think of its impact on others: you are not the client. Instead, it may be your spouse, your children or your cause.I am an avid advocate for the value of proper planning and enjoy sharing my knowledge by speaking on wealth management, estate planning and philanthropy efforts. In 2015, I co-founded Fashion Heals for SickKids – an annual fashion show and fundraiser featuring the patients, caregivers and employees of SickKids Hospital. It is an evening filled with inspiring stories. To date, it has raised more than $500,000 for pediatric cancer care and research.
