Welcome

As Merrill Senior Financial Advisors, our goal is to build long-term relationships with clients who rely on us for advanced financial planning strategies. We do this by working to help define and understand our clients' financial needs and aspirations. Once we help our clients define those needs and aspirations we help them develop a plan to achieve those goals using our financial modeling and analytics tools. Our dynamic planning process evolves as our clients lives evolve. We use a number of financial strategies to provide for the different stages of life and their unique demands while we stay at the forefront of the ever-changing financial planning landscape. From growth strategies to tax and estate planning strategies, we help with every step. Our areas of emphasis are tax efficiency, retirement planning, retirement income strategies, legacy and estate planning strategies, investment management and developing financial strategies for families with special needs children. We focus on finding retirement income strategies to help plan for, generate and manage the income clients need to realize a comfortable retirement.
