Mike Taylor

Canadian financial writer. Last updated June 2026.

Mike Taylor is a Canadian personal-finance writer who covers practical money topics for everyday investors, with a focus on currency conversion, brokerage mechanics, and keeping costs low. He writes the guides on norbertsgambit.ca and is responsible for keeping them accurate and current.

Background

Mike is a father and family man who enjoys writing about personal finance and helping people make better sense of their money. He has written about personal finance for more than five years, and studied Business Administration at the University of Western Ontario. He writes from his own experience as a Canadian investor, with a straightforward goal: help Canadians get more educated on financial matters and keep more of their money.

What he covers here

Mike writes and maintains every page on this site, including the main guide, the step-by-step how-to, the tax explainer, the calculator, and the broker-specific walkthroughs. His goal is plain: explain Norbert's Gambit clearly enough that a first-timer can do it confidently, and honestly enough that they know when it is not worth doing.

How he works

Mike checks every fee, broker process, and tax rule against a primary source before publishing, and revisits pages when brokers change their rules. He does not take payment to favour any broker or service. You can read the full approach on the editorial standards page.
