ABOUT

Our Mission

At Mobility Financial Inc., we’re more than accountants – we’re strategic partners in building and protecting wealth. Our team combines deep expertise in corporate tax with forward-looking financial planning, giving clients a single, trusted source for integrated advice.

Where most tax preparers stop at compliance, and most financial planners overlook tax, we bridge the gap. We believe real success comes from aligning tax strategy, financial planning, and long-term wealth management into one clear roadmap.

We deliver the same level of expertise you’d expect from a large firm but with the accessibility, responsiveness, and personal care of a trusted local advisor. Whether you’re a business owner or an individual, our mission is simple: to help you keep more of what you earn, grow it wisely, and achieve peace of mind knowing your financial future is secure.

Ryan Hager

I have been practicing in Calgary in the areas of Commercial and Residential Real Estate, Commercial Leasing, Business Transactions, Business Structures and Corporate Governance, and Wills since 2003. My focus is on developing clear, understandable documents and making sure my clients are fully informed before making business or other legal planning decisions and then effectively carrying out the steps necessary to successfully complete transactions. I have also developed expertise in advising developers and home owners with respect to easements and restrictive covenants, how they impact inner-city development and what options are available to deal with them.

In negotiating agreements it is my approach to apply a principled and business oriented strategy to ensure that your business goals are achieved effectively and efficiently and to ensure that your questions get answers.

I have a great deal of experience with completing residential conveyancing, having represented clients in several thousand transactions since 2003.  I will always take the time to explain the documents you are asked to sign and to review exactly how the fees and closing costs are calculated with you as well. Because I have been involved in so many transactions, it will be a rare thing if I come across a problem I haven’t already dealt with in the past.

I view myself as a natural born litigator, here to serve my clients by assisting them in navigating the legal maze. I have appeared and argued cases before the Alberta Courts for over 15 years: first as a paralegal in the Provincial Courts, then as a lawyer. I possess both American and Canadian law degrees with experience that has been focused in Alberta. I believe that your case should mean as much to me as it does to you and together we can find the right solution.

Over the last 15 years, I have had the privilege to assist clients in many different areas including: criminal, personal injury, family, corporate, builders’ liens and contract litigation. If it’s litigation that you need help with, I am here to help you. No matter the case, I will strive to achieve the best possible result for you—using whatever legal tools are required to get the job done.

I have trained in the martial arts for over 30 years and currently hold several different Black Belts of varying rank. I love movies, chess, skydiving, scuba diving, and hunting. I am always interested in new things and will try almost anything once.
