With an exclusive focus on the Sports and Entertainment industry, we are proud to announce the formation of a dynamic team of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management Advisors based in Beverly Hills, California: Baker, Richards, Power, McMahon & Associates.
With 116 years of combined experience, our team is built to support Sports and Entertainment professionals whose careers rarely follow traditional financial trajectories. Athletes and entertainers navigate highly variable income streams, contract-driven cash flow, significant tax complexity, and intense financial inflection points --often arriving suddenly, followed by long periods of quiet.
With trust and transparency at our core, we advise Sports and Entertainment professionals through disciplined strategies and customized and appropriate financial solutions aligned with each client's unique career journey.
