The Team Behind LUCEM

A Holistic Approach To Wealth, Business and Legacy Planning in Ontario

At LUCEM Financial Solutions Inc., we believe financial guidance should do more than help you manage money.

It should help you make clearer decisions, protect what you have built, support the people who depend on you, and create a strategy that can evolve as your life, business and goals change. Our work is grounded in clarity, education, collaboration and long term thinking.



We support Ontario professionals, business owners, families and women in transition who want more than a generic financial roadmap. They want a trusted partner who can help them understand their options, coordinate the right conversations and move forward with confidence.


LUCEM brings light, clarity and strategy to financial decision making. Many people work hard, earn well and build successful careers or businesses, yet still feel uncertain about whether their money is being used as effectively as it could be. Business owners are managing payroll, taxes, growth, retained earnings, employees, succession questions and family responsibilities. Professionals are balancing income, lifestyle, investments, retirement, children, aging parents and future security. Women navigating transition are often carrying emotional decisions and financial decisions at the same time.


At LUCEM, we help connect those pieces.

Our goal is not simply to build portfolios.

Our goal is to help you build a thoughtful, proactive financial strategy that supports your life, protects your wealth and honours the legacy you want to create.


OUR APPROACH:

Financial guidance is rarely one isolated decision.


  • Your income affects your taxes.

  • Your business affects your personal wealth.

  • Your investments affect your retirement.

  • Your protection planning affects your family.

  • Your estate decisions affect the next generation.


That is why our approach is comprehensive and collaborative. We take time to understand your full financial picture, your responsibilities, your goals and your concerns. From there, we help create a strategy that is practical, personalized and designed to adapt as life changes. We may not be able to control the economy, interest rates, markets, tax changes or political uncertainty, but we can review the data, understand the options available, anticipate where adjustments may be needed and help you make informed decisions along the way.


COLLABORATION WITH YOUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM:

Strong financial guidance often requires more than one expert.


At LUCEM, we value working collaboratively with your existing team of trusted professionals, including Chartered Professional Accountants, lawyers, estate lawyers, mortgage professionals and other advisors where appropriate. We understand the language of financial guidance, tax strategy, business ownership, insurance, retirement and legacy conversations.

We also understand how important it is for your advisors to work together, not in isolation.


Our role is to help support a more seamless experience so your financial strategy, tax considerations, legal structures, estate intentions and long term goals are aligned as thoughtfully as possible. This collaborative approach helps reduce confusion, prevent unnecessary gaps and give you stronger guidance when making important decisions.


SUPPORTING BUSINESS OWNERS:

LUCEM is deeply committed to supporting small and medium sized business owners. We understand that for many entrepreneurs, the business is not just a source of income. It is a life’s work, a family responsibility, a team, a future asset and often a major part of their retirement and legacy plan.


We help business owners think through important questions such as:

  • How do I protect my personal wealth outside the business?

  • How do I structure retained earnings more intentionally?

  • How do I plan for tax efficiency in coordination with my accounting professionals?

  • How do I prepare for succession, sale or retirement?

  • How do I build wealth beyond the business I have worked so hard to create?


Your business may be one of your greatest assets, but it should not be your only roadmap.

At LUCEM, we help business owners connect business success with personal financial security, long term wealth and legacy.



One of our core commitments is supporting women in becoming more informed, confident and empowered in their financial lives.

Many successful women are leading teams, running businesses, raising families, managing households and making major decisions every day, yet still feel uncertain when it comes to deeper financial strategies. Not because they are not capable. Because many women were never fully invited into conversations about wealth, investing, tax planning, protection, retirement and legacy.


At LUCEM, we believe financial literacy is a form of empowerment. When a woman understands her money, she moves differently. We are especially passionate about supporting women through life transitions such as divorce, widowhood, inheritance, career changes, business growth, retirement planning and becoming the primary financial decision maker. These moments can feel overwhelming. They can also become powerful turning points when women are supported with education, strategy and care.


WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE LUCEM:

Clients choose LUCEM because they want guidance that feels personal, strategic and grounded in real life.

They want to understand their money, not feel intimidated by it.

They want proactive planning, not reactive decisions.

They want to know that their advisor sees the full picture, including their business, family, taxes, retirement, protection needs and legacy goals.

They want someone who can help them navigate change with clarity.


At LUCEM, we walk with our clients through the pivots, the questions, the opportunities and the uncertainties.

That is where real planning happens.

Let's make it happen for you!

Carolina Henao

With over 17 years in the financial planning industry, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with professionals, business owners, and families to help them grow, protect, and enjoy their wealth with purpose and peace of mind. My approach is rooted in the belief that financial planning is deeply personal — it’s not just about numbers, it’s about your life, your goals, and your legacy.


I take the time to truly understand what matters most to Clients — whether it’s expanding a business, planning for a confident retirement, supporting future generations, or simply having the freedom to enjoy life on their terms. From complex investment strategies to business succession planning and multi-generational wealth management, I offer tailored solutions designed to simplify the financial landscape and empower smart decisions.


What I love most about my job is the long-term relationships I build with Clients. I’m not just here for one milestone — I’m here for the journey, as a trusted partner you can count on through every season of life.


Outside the office, I value the same things I help Clients plan for: meaningful time with family and friends, travel that opens the mind, a good book that inspires new thinking, and the simple pleasure of a great glass of wine.
