In this episode of Canadian Investing in the U.S., host Glen Sutherland interviews Priscilla (Pre) Cosentino, a U.S.-based financial advisor, author, and mentor who specializes in helping clients build a true wealth mindset. Priscilla explains that financial planning is about much more than simply accumulating money—it’s about aligning one’s financial goals with personal values and life purpose. She shares examples of clients with vastly different goals, from relocating overseas to buying a first home or going back to school, emphasizing that understanding what matters most to each person drives the right financial and investment strategies.
The conversation then dives into tax planning—a subject many people only think about when faced with a large bill. Priscilla stresses that effective tax planning must be proactive, not reactive, and should begin now, regardless of the time of year. She encourages investors to build an “A-Team” of professionals—financial planner, CPA, and attorney—who collaborate to design forward-looking strategies that balance current actions with future goals. She also offers practical advice on how to prepare for planning meetings, such as bringing an overview of assets, account types, and investment values. The episode closes with a thought-provoking reminder: financial planning should start with your end goal in mind—how you want to be remembered and what legacy you want to leave behind—and then reverse-engineer your path toward that vision.
