Wealth accumulation and growth

The company complements its offering with investment management and investment products, aimed at accumulating and growing its clients' wealth.

Client profiles

FBC organizes its services into four groups: farmers, producers, and fishers; professional services, for consultants and small firms; tradespeople and contractors, for builders and manual professionals; and health and wellness, for caregivers, clinicians, and professionals in the sector. The firm notes that its team understands the reality of small business because it was born as one itself.

How it works

The process begins with a free consultation to discuss the business and its goals. Then the client's current situation is reviewed to identify opportunities and develop a personalized tax, financial, and business plan. Next, the year's taxes are filed, the previous three years' returns are reviewed, and bookkeeping and payroll needs are assessed. Finally, it is determined what other services, financial products, and advice may be useful, and a personalized financial strategy is designed.

Presence and coverage

The firm has a network of 12 regional offices extending from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, with advisors available across Canada. Service is provided online, by phone, or in person, and the company notes that it supports both remote communities and large cities. Among the provinces with confirmed presence are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.

Resources and publications

FBC maintains a resources section with articles, guides, calculators, and a weekly advice column. Featured content includes articles on when to get a second opinion on taxes, how to tell if you are overpaying taxes, and analyses of provincial budgets, such as Saskatchewan's 2026 budget.
