Does Marc Pineault work with clients outside of London? Yes. While Marc is based in London, Ontario, his practice extends across Southwestern Ontario — and with virtual meetings as a standard option, geography is rarely a barrier to working with him.

If you're in Kitchener, Hamilton, Windsor, Sarnia, Woodstock, or anywhere else in the region and you've heard Marc's name, here's what you need to know.

Why London Is a Good Base for Southwestern Ontario

London sits near the geographic centre of Southwestern Ontario, making it a practical hub for a regional practice. Many of Marc's clients are within an easy drive, and for those who prefer it, in-person meetings in London are easy to arrange.

But increasingly, the where matters less than the who. Marc serves clients across the region virtually — and the planning work is just as thorough, just as personalized, and just as effective whether you're sitting across a desk or across a video call.

Communities Marc Serves

Marc works with clients across Southwestern Ontario, including:

  • London — his home base, where in-person meetings are most accessible
  • Kitchener-Waterloo — a strong professional and business owner community
  • Hamilton — growing with professionals and families relocating from the GTA
  • Windsor and Sarnia — border communities with specific cross-border and manufacturing industry considerations
  • Woodstock, Tillsonburg, Ingersoll, Strathroy — smaller communities in the heart of Southwestern Ontario
  • Chatham-Kent, St. Thomas, Stratford — regional centres with active professional and farming communities
  • Cambridge and Guelph — growing technology and professional hubs

If you're in Southwestern Ontario and you're looking for a retirement planner, distance isn't a reason to look elsewhere.

What Virtual Financial Planning Actually Looks Like

Some clients are skeptical about virtual financial planning — they assume that something this important has to happen in person. In practice, the planning work translates seamlessly to video calls, shared screen presentations, and digital document sharing.

Marc's virtual clients have the same access to his planning process, the same depth of engagement, and the same ongoing relationship as his London-based clients. Many find that the convenience of virtual meetings makes it easier to stay engaged with their plan throughout the year.

The Same Comprehensive Planning, Wherever You Are

Whether you're in London or an hour away, Marc's planning approach is the same:

  • A complete financial plan built around your goals and situation
  • Retirement income planning — CPP, OAS, RRSP/RRIF drawdown, and tax-efficient sequencing
  • Tax planning strategies integrated throughout
  • Investment structure tied to the plan
  • Insurance needs analysis
  • Estate planning guidance
  • Business owner financial planning for incorporated clients

The planning is comprehensive, not transactional. And the relationship is ongoing, not a one-time meeting.

Why Regional Clients Choose Marc

Clients in smaller communities across Southwestern Ontario sometimes find that their local options are limited — a bank branch advisor who can open accounts, but not a financial planner who can build and manage a real financial strategy.

Marc fills that gap. His practice is designed to serve the complexity that comes with meaningful assets, approaching retirement, or running a business — regardless of whether you're in a major centre or a smaller community.
