Wealth Starts With a Plan. Legacy Starts With You.
Virtual, fee-for-service financial planning for first-generation wealth builders across Canada
Meet Your Financial Planner
Kirby Fabien, CFP®
I didn’t start my career in an office. I started on the field as an offensive lineman in the CFL. In that world, my job was simple: protect my teammates and put the team’s success before my own.
My perspective on wealth is personal. As a first-generation Canadian born to Haitian immigrants, I saw firsthand what it takes to build a foundation from nothing. I learned early that money isn’t just a number; it’s the security and legacy you create for the people who matter most.
I’ve gained experience across every level of the financial landscape. From the rigid structures of a major bank to the specialized environment of a boutique wealth management firm. Navigating these different worlds led me to a critical realization: the industry’s most effective frameworks were often locked behind a door that only opened for those who had already arrived. I saw that high-level, comprehensive strategy remained a privilege reserved for the established few.
Today, I’m a first-gen wealth builder myself. I built Fabien Wealth to bridge this gap. I realized that the industry needed a new framework—one that provides the same caliber of dedicated guidance and strategic oversight to those building wealth today as it does for those who have already arrived.
My mission is to provide the high-level strategy you deserve throughout your journey, supporting you as you navigate the unique complexities of out-earning your upbringing and securing your family’s legacy for tomorrow.
Is This You?
You’ve built a strong income, maybe even a corporation, and you’ve done it without a family playbook. Here’s where many first-generation professionals across Canada find themselves.
Not sure where to start
You’re earning well but have no roadmap. You want a clear plan, not just products.
Outgrowing DIY
Spreadsheets and Reddit threads got you here. Now you need a real strategy to go further.
First in your family
No one handed you a playbook. You’re building generational wealth from scratch and you want it done right.
Banks aren’t cutting it
You’re tired of being just a number in a retail branch. You want a dedicated advisor who understands you and your goals.

Comprehensive Wealth Strategy
The Engagement: 12-Month Active Partnership
The Focus: Your financial "Master Plan." We sync your income, investments, and family protection into one cohesive strategy. We build a structural blueprint so every dollar you earn has a specific purpose, while allowing you to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Your Future, Visualized: We build a 20+ year "financial map" to stress-test big decisions like early retirement or a secondary property. Providing you with the clarity you need for your next move.

Standalone Tactical Analysis
The Engagement: Single-Focus Project
The Focus: A tactical, high-level "second opinion" for those who want a professional check-up without a long-term engagement. This one-time review provides a clear snapshot of where you are today and identifies the immediate "low-hanging fruit" to optimize your path.
The Audit Summary Includes:
Your Current Trajectory: A high-level projection showing exactly where your current habits are trending.
A Quick-Win Action Plan: We identify the opportunities in your personal finances - from maximizing your tax-sheltered accounts to improving your household cash flow and debt structure. You get a prioritized checklist of the most impactful moves you can make right now.
A Professional Second Opinion: A neutral, expert review of your current investments and insurance coverage. We highlight gaps or inefficiencies in your existing setup without the complexity of a full-scale restructure.
A Strategic Pulse Check: A clear signal of your financial health, giving you the confidence to continue as a DIY-er or a clear roadmap for when it’s time to move toward a more integrated planning tier.
Best For: Young Professionals seeking a second opinion without an ongoing commitment.

Wealth Protection & Risk Audit
-
The Focus: A complimentary assessment to identify vulnerabilities in your ability to build & protect your wealth.
An Estate Continuity Review: We discuss the current state of your Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Guardianship plans. We identify if your legal documents actually reflect your family’s reality or if your protection has been outgrown.
A Risk Audit: A cold, hard look at your "survivability" numbers. We determine if your family could maintain their lifestyle and fund future goals in the event of death, illness or disability.
A Corporate Exposure Assessment: For business owners, we review the risks to your business to make sure that your business and family are protected.
A Professional Gap Analysis: You leave with a clear understanding of your "Exposure Points", clarifying which risks need immediate attention and those that can be managed as your wealth grows.
There is no fee for this assessment. If a protection need is identified and you choose to engage us for implementation, we are compensated via standard commission from the insurance provider.
