Certified Financial Planner, expert witness and litigation analyst, and a longtime volunteer on the regulation side of the financial industry.
Kenneth Doll is the Senior Financial Planner at Bracket Planning, an independent advice-only practice based in Calgary serving clients across Canada. He writes the guides published here.
He has held the Certified Financial Planner designation since 2002, alongside the Chartered Life Underwriter, Trust and Estate Practitioner and ICD.D designations. Each has been held in good standing since it was earned.
Kenneth acts as an expert witness and litigation analyst for the legal community, providing independent analysis in matters including disability and personal injury income loss calculations, divorce mediation and property division, estate planning calculations and mediation, and retirement funding and lifelong income planning.
This work matters for what appears on this site. Retirement income projections that have to survive examination in a legal proceeding are held to a different standard than illustrations produced to support a recommendation, and that standard is the one applied to the calculators and worked examples published here.
A longtime volunteer on the regulation side of the financial industry, developing policy, enforcing advisor compliance, and protecting clients' and consumers' interests first.
Kenneth has presented on investments, insurance, retirement income planning, financial and estate planning, and philanthropy.

Bracket Planning is advice-only: the practice sells financial planning and nothing else. There are no product commissions, no assets under management, and no third-party compensation. What that means for the guides on this site is that there is no product at the end of the funnel: the recommendation is the deliverable.
