Helping Canadians retire with confidence.

We're on a mission to make retirement planning accessible, intelligent, and genuinely life-changing for every Canadian.

Our mission

At Slackwater, we believe everyone deserves a clear, confident path to retirement. Our mission is to take the complexity out of retirement planning and put the power of tax optimization into the hands of everyday Canadians. We build tools that turn financial uncertainty into clarity.

We're obsessed with helping you keep more of what you've earned. Retirement planning shouldn't require a financial advisor charging thousands of dollars. Slackwater gives you the same level of tax-optimized withdrawal planning that high-net-worth clients get, at a fraction of the cost.

Meet the team

Founded by people who believe in better retirement planning.

Slackwater was founded by a team passionate about making retirement planning smarter, simpler, and more accessible for everyone.

Slackwater started with a simple observation: most retirement planning tools tell you if you have enough saved, but none of them tell you how to actually spend it in the most tax-efficient way. The difference between a good withdrawal strategy and a great one can be hundreds of thousands of dollars over a retirement.

Today, Slackwater helps thousands of Canadians plan their retirement with confidence. Whether you're ten years out or already retired, our platform builds a personalized plan that adapts to your life and the markets, so you can focus on living instead of worrying.
