Our Team

Jim MacNeill

Manager

Having grown up in London, I am pleased to be working at a firm that serves so many clients in our community. After completing my degree and prior to joining MacNeill Edmundson, I gained experience working at a multinational public accounting firm. I love that as an accountant I am constantly learning on the job and developing my skills in order to meet client needs.

In my free time outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, and going for long walks with my dog.

Nipun Patel

Prior to joining MacNeill Edmundson, I worked with both global and national accounting firms while earning my CPA designation in 2021. Personally, I enjoy discussing various financial aspects with my clients and provide value added recommendation allowing them to make the most of their hard-earned money.

Amanda Benetton

Staff Accountant

I was born and raised in Brazil, but I have recently made London my home. I have felt passionate about supporting my new community in any way that I could, specifically assisting Fanshawe students with their endeavors. I believe the greatest accomplishment a person can have is to help others achieve their goals. My keen interest in business was nurtured by my father who owned various business’ where I spent my youth watching and participating in the day-to-day operations and administration. This in turn sparked my desire to improve my knowledge and accounting skills.

I grew up in the countryside of Sao Paulo State and my passions are entertaining and travelling. Welcoming friends and family into my home brings joy to my heart and I gladly continue my family traditions here in Canada. My Canadian summers are now spent by the lake and my winters are spent learning to ski.

Mark Snyders

Principal

I was born and raised in London and I am happy, along with my wife and two children, to call London our home. After 17 years with a national firm and a large, local firm, I joined MacNeill Edmundson to work directly with clients and to help their businesses and organizations succeed. I believe in providing our clients with personal and timely service. I have worked with various not-for-profit organizations and registered charities to help meet their statutory and funder reporting obligations. I also work with small-and medium-sized businesses in a variety of sectors, including real estate, land development, construction, retail, wholesale operations, and the service sector. I also believe in giving back to the community as I am continually involved with various community organizations.

Dillon O’Henly

Senior Manager

I was born and raised in London, Ontario and have always enjoyed being a part of the local community. With my mother being a CPA, I was always drawn to the accounting profession and began taking the steps required to obtain my own CPA designation at a very young age. I have always loved learning and understanding the intricacies of different businesses and seeing how they function.

In my spare time, I love all things sports, and regularly play hockey, golf and baseball. I also take every opportunity to spend time with my family and friends.

Damien Drew

Senior Manager

I grew up in a small town just outside of London. I enjoy playing guitar and participating in various sports that include baseball, Golf and Tennis.

Meghan White

Manager

I grew up in Burlington, Ontario and I moved to London to attend Western University Canada in 2008. After I completed my undergraduate degree, I worked for three years developing my accounts receivable and accounts payable experience. I am now focusing on accounting and I am pursuing a CPA designation. At my leisure, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and playing various sports that include baseball, hockey, and volleyball.

Jeremy A. Giles

Principal

I strive to assist business owners with all of their financial needs – from assistance with routine financial reporting, to annual financial statements and the related statutory filings, to income tax and business succession planning.

I also assist not-for-profit organizations and registered charities with their annual financial statements and statutory filings, providing assurance services when required.  These clients include both local and national not-for-profit organizations and registered charities as well as condominium corporations.

I have a vast knowledge of both Sage 50 (formerly Simply Accounting) and Quickbooks and I am able to assist clients with routine reporting as well as implementation and conversion.

When away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Marlene, and our three children, Liam, Ella and Lily.  Either with clients or in my free time, I enjoy playing sports, most notably golf, baseball and volleyball.

Maria Marsh

Office Administrator

It may appear that a great gust of wind could knock me over but with 24 years of experience to back me up, I am able to steadfastly support clients. I do like to travel where the wind directs me and so far I’ve landed in parts of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, Italy, France, Napa Valley, Arizona, Nevada, California, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and the well-known metropolis cities of United States and Canada. I have also landed roles in amateur productions in London, St. Thomas, Sparta, Wardsville, and Lexington so catch me if you can.

Lissa Savage

Principal

I believe my East Coast roots play a considerable role in how I interact with clients. I grew up in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and have since made London my home. It is especially important to me to explain options and solutions to our clients in a way that is understandable and meaningful to them, and that our office is a friendly place where people like to be. I am an avid sports fan, and approach life as if it is a team sport. I have learned so much by surrounding myself with a lineup of family, friends and coworkers, and I play an active role in the coaching and development of future Chartered Professional Accountants at our firm.

I enjoy exploring just about anything new with my husband and travel buddy, and endeavor to cross a few more adventures off the bucket list each year. I love fitness, good food and wine and the great outdoors. When I’m not in the office, I can often be found on the golf course, elbow-deep in yet another home renovation or keeping up with my young family.

My goals for the future are to continue assisting our clients with their financial information, so they can focus on running their businesses, while making an impact on the London community.
