Client Services

Leslie has been a long-time resident of the town of St Marys. She established herself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® (CFP) professional in 1998 with IG Wealth Management after a rewarding career in nursing.

Her passion for working with people and making a difference has enabled her to grow a successful financial planning business. Her attention to detail and her commitment to clients are attributes that benefit those seeking her professional advice. Holistic financial planning is a benchmark for Leslie and a goal that is achieved through thorough and detailed financial planning.

Leslie gladly shares her time and knowledge volunteering on various boards, including the Local Health Integration Network, Alzheimer’s Society and Tradition Mutual. These affiliations are valuable to her as they foster a bond with the community of St Marys and beyond.

In her spare time Leslie enjoys gardening and along with her husband is an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan. She is fortunate to have her family living close by and is grateful to be a busy grandma!

Brent is a Senior Financial Consultant for the practice. He holds the internationally recognized designations of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® (CFP), Chartered Accountant (CA), and Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA).

Brent has over 40 years of experience in the financial business, including his first 10 years with a major public accounting firm, and in the life insurance industry. He draws on this experience to find effective, conservative solutions to the investment and financial planning needs of clients.

Brent is married, has two grown sons and one grandson. In his spare time he enjoys reading, spending time with friends and family, occasionally chasing a ball around the golf course, and is a car enthusiast.

Matt works with families, individuals, and business professionals at all stages of life who are seeking the confidence that comes with navigating through a comprehensive financial road map. Matt joined the practice in 2019 after completing his Honours Specialization in Finance degree at Western University, and obtaining a Post Graduate diploma in Professional Financial Services at Fanshawe College.

Matt's client-driven, collaborative approach to financial planning has resulted in strong and rewarding client relationships. He looks forward to being able to share this approach, as he strives to help grow the practice.

Matt enjoys being active and takes part in a variety of different activities. In the summer months, Matt is often found on the baseball fields, both coaching and playing. He also takes pleasure in a good round of golf with friends.

She has over 25 years of experience in customer service, coaching and management in telecommunications, agriculture, and has been with IG Wealth Management since 2012.

Before joining the practice, Jenny managed the administrative staff in the London and Sarnia IG offices. This experience compliments her current position due to her extensive knowledge of compliance and processing mandates.

Jenny sings tenor as one of 28 members of a mixed a cappella chorus based out of Woodstock. She has been a member of Thorndale Agricultural Society Homecraft Division for 20+ years and is an active member in her church. Along with her husband, she enjoys gardening, tackling home projects, and travelling.

A fully licensed Senior Financial Consultant, Leslie works primarily from the team's satellite office in Dutton. While her primary focus is providing a high level of service to existing clients, Leslie also plays a supportive role within the team. She prides herself on being a reliable source of knowledge relating to administrative, procedural, and compliance matters.

Leslie began her career with IG Wealth Management in 2013 as an associate to her father. Upon his retirement, she continued servicing clients in a new practice with Jeff Smith. Leslie thrives on broadening her knowledge and skills, and in 2018 she obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® (CFP) designation.

During the summer months, you’ll find Leslie outside either in her garden, on a walk, or on her bicycle. The winter months bring early morning yoga sessions and books being read on the couch.
