You know when people are paying attention—when they engage with what matters to you, when they work hard on your behalf, when they back up their words with demonstrated action.
At Williams, Jones & Associates, we look to be that kind of team for the clients we serve.
We’re a Merrill wealth management team that serves clients in multiple states in the U.S., helping them organize, grow, and steward their wealth more effectively.
We recognize that each client is different, with distinctive values, interests, and ambitions. We have a strong appreciation for the clients we serve—what they’ve accomplished, what inspires them, and what lies ahead. We draw on our collective strengths, working in concert to bring out the best in each other so that we can deliver a client experience that we believe is like no other.
Here are a few of the ways that we look to provide a different caliber of experience:
We strive for excellence. Clients come to us with complex issues. We're skilled in helping them make sense of their situations, lending our technical insight, practical knowledge, and heartfelt service. We've seen a lot and done a lot as a team; that experience, we believe, lends an edge to the people we advise.
We ground our work in a written plan. We believe that a thorough plan is essential for any undertaking. For that reason, we begin each relationship by listening attentively and gaining an in-depth understanding of each client's financial situation, short- and long-term goals, and aspirations. We then create a clear, documented plan for what lies ahead so that clients can benchmark their progress toward objectives. This plan evolves over time, reflecting the dynamic nature of each client's interests.
We take our work very seriously. We know your finances are more than your investments. They are your past and your future, your security and your aspirations for your life ahead. We approach our work with that gravity in mind, treating your financial life with the integrity it deserves.
We have a refined skillset. Speak with us for a few minutes, and you'll likely hear some thoughtful questions and innovative ideas. We look to offer clients our best thinking, drawing on our background in accounting, investing, strategy, and coaching. Our education, experience, and professional designations attest to our desire to deliver a differentiated experience to the clients we serve.
We find joy in our work. Our practice is people focused. We care deeply about the people we serve and about each other. We're a collegial team, and that harmony, we believe, translates into better outcomes for the clients we advise. When clients share their goals with us, we are motivated by genuine energy and enthusiasm, honored to have a meaningful impact on their lives and the lives of the people they cherish.
