At Thiessen & Associates Private Wealth Management, we understand what’s at stake. From market volatility to rising costs, unpredictable weather, and succession decisions, the financial side of agriculture is complex—and personal.

As farm financial advisors based in Red Deer and serving Central Alberta, we help agricultural families build financial strategies that support both day-to-day operations and long-term goals. We provide responsive planning with deep respect for the life you’ve built.

Tailored strategies for farming families

  • Built for agriculture’s realities

    Unlike other businesses, farming demands long-range thinking, patience, and the ability to adapt. We offer financial planning that reflects the unique income cycles, asset structure, and risk landscape of agriculture. If you’re searching for an agriculture financial advisor near me, we bring hands-on experience to meet your needs—right here in Central Alberta.

  • Managing cash flow and growth

    From seasonal fluctuations to long-term equipment investments, cash flow matters. We help you plan ahead, maintain liquidity, and explore strategic growth options so your operation stays financially resilient.

  • Succession and legacy planning

    One of the most emotional parts of farm planning is deciding how—and when—to pass the farm on. We work with families to create fair, thoughtful transition plans that protect your relationships and your financial stability. From structuring the sale to preparing the next generation, we help guide every conversation.

Protecting what matters most

  • Tax and estate strategies

    Farm tax planning requires experience. We use tools like the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption (LCGE), income splitting, and estate structure optimization to help you keep more of your wealth—and pass it on efficiently.

  • Insurance and risk protection

    One unexpected event—a health issue, a fire, a broken piece of machinery—can put years of work at risk. We help you assess your exposure and secure coverage that supports both your family and your business.

  • Incorporation and business structure

    For some families, incorporation offers tax advantages and liability protection. We’ll help you decide if it’s the right fit and guide the setup, so your farm is structured to support your long-term vision.
