Independent, fee-transparent financial advice for families, professionals and business owners in Cochrane and the surrounding communities.

Life in Cochrane
Financial advice only works when it reflects the life you are actually living. In Cochrane, that means tourism, construction, professional services and a strong commuter and remote-work base.
SG Wealth Management works with families and professionals attracted by space, schools and proximity to the mountains across Cochrane and the surrounding Calgary Region, Alberta, building written plans that connect cash flow, investments, insurance, tax and estate decisions into one strategy rather than five unrelated ones.
The planning question we hear most often in Cochrane is funding education, retirement and lifestyle goals from one competing pool of cash flow. It rarely has a single answer.
We start by mapping what you own, what you owe and what you want the next decade to look like, then we test the trade-offs on real numbers before anything is recommended. You leave with a plan you can read, question and act on - and a schedule for reviewing it as your circumstances change.
Five ways we help
We offer five core services in Cochrane, and most households use more than one. They are designed to work together: the investment strategy respects the tax plan, the insurance sizing respects the estate plan, and every recommendation is tested against your written goals.
Plan With Real Numbers
Our clients in Cochrane include salaried professionals, incorporated business owners, family enterprises and retirees.
What they share is a point of transition - a promotion, a sale, an inheritance, a retirement date or simply the sense that their finances have outgrown a spreadsheet. We are equally comfortable coordinating with your accountant and lawyer, and we prefer to do so, because the best outcomes come from a single joined-up strategy.
Sim Gakhar holds the Certified Health Insurance Specialist (CHS), Elder Planning Counselor (EPC) and Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) designations and is a member of the Million Dollar Round Table.
That background matters most in the situations where the stakes are highest: business succession, insurance underwriting for a family with health history, and estate transitions where clarity is worth more than cleverness.
We meet clients in Cochrane virtually across Alberta, or in person by appointment.
Distance is not a constraint on quality of advice, but local knowledge still matters - Alberta's comparatively low personal tax rates, the absence of a provincial sales tax and income that moves with commodity cycles all shape what an efficient plan looks like here. If you are also comparing advisors nearby, our financial planning team serving Calgary covers the same Calgary Region, Alberta.
Choosing an advisor is a decision about trust as much as technique. We are independent, we explain how we are compensated, and we put our recommendations in writing so you can hold them up to scrutiny. There is no product quota behind the advice and no pressure to decide in the first meeting.
Every plan begins with a conversation, not a product. Tell us what you are trying to decide in Cochrane, and we will tell you honestly whether a plan would help and what it would involve.
Book a ConversationNo. We work with households across a wide range of asset levels in Cochrane. What matters more is whether you have decisions to make - about retirement timing, a business, an inheritance, insurance or tax - where a written plan would change the outcome. The first conversation is complimentary and carries no obligation.

Whether you want to build a legacy, involve your family, or support causes close to your heart, our team will guide you every step of the way.
Let's design a philanthropic strategy that reflects your values - today and for generations to come.
