It may sound clichéd to say someone would give you the shirt off their back, but Glenn Marr truly would.

When Glenn founded the business that would eventually become Marr McInnes & Associates in 1988 after earning a Bachelor of Commerce degree with honours, he wanted to build the kind of financial planning practice he would trust with his own family. That simple standard shaped everything that followed: thoughtful advice, personal care, and a willingness to go far beyond what clients expect from a financial advisor.

For Glenn, client service has always extended well past private wealth management. Over the years, he has helped clients find trusted professionals, access needed services, and work through challenges that have little to do with investments on paper, but everything to do with peace of mind in practice. A few years ago, when a client was facing a difficult health situation, Glenn used his own network to help connect them to the support they needed.

That kind of care is what sets Glenn apart. His work has never been limited to accounts, plans, and portfolios. It has always been rooted in people.

The business Glenn built reflects that same level of personal attention. Before taking on a new client, he meets with them several times to understand their goals, family dynamics, concerns, and long-term priorities. Those conversations help the team create a financial plan that fits the person. They also help Glenn determine whether Marr McInnes & Associates is the right fit.

If he believes another advisor could serve someone better, he would make that referral without hesitation.

That commitment to doing what is right has earned deep trust. Many clients have stayed with Marr McInnes & Associates far longer than is typical in the industry, a reflection of the relationships Glenn has built over decades. Those relationships were on his mind when he began planning his own retirement. He knew the transition could not be rushed. His clients deserved time, care, and the right person to guide them forward.

He found that successor in Myles McInnes.

Today, Glenn is no longer in a formal consulting role, though he remains involved as the transition continues through attending some client meetings and providing non-product-specific financial planning advice.

Even as he prepares to step away from the business he created, his focus remains exactly where it has always been: on the clients who placed their trust in him.

Glenn wouldn’t have it any other way.
