“Our mission is simple: we empower financial planners to spend more time building trust, deepening client relationships, and growing their business”
Chris Arthur, Bold Wealth
Despite growing up with a financial planner as a father, William Barreca never expected to follow in his footsteps. Like many, he assumed financial planning was just about investing. At Queen’s University, William pursued law, writing the LSAT and applying to law schools in his final year. But he soon realized he wasn’t passionate about law and wanted to make a more meaningful impact.
That discovery led William to financial planning, where he came to see the profession as helping people make life’s most important decisions with clarity and confidence. Today, he holds both the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) designations.
He is also a proud member of the Financial Planning Association of Canada (FPAC), an organization committed to raising professional standards by putting clients’ interests first and delivering truly comprehensive, unbiased advice. These principles guide his work every day.
William specializes in retirement planning for executives and business owners aged 50+, helping clients reduce taxes, protect wealth, and retire on their own terms.
Outside of work, he often travels with his wife, Ana, cheers on Inter Milan and the Toronto Maple Leafs, or whips up classic Italian dishes in the kitchen.
