Branch Office Profile

About Us

The branch’s wealth planning process begins as the team’s advisors get to know you. The branch's teams take the time to learn your priorities, goals for retirement lifestyles, financial funding for children’s and grandchildren’s education, complex business issues, cash management and the need for credit strategies. Once we fully understand clients’ wants, needs and goals, we can employ the broad investing resources of Merrill and also offer you access to the banking convenience of Bank of America—as well as engaging our own experience and discipline to create a framework for addressing many financial challenges.

Client Commitment

We recognize that each client is unique, and we shape our sophisticated wealth management strategies to reflect those differences. Many of our clients are still actively pursuing and accumulating wealth, and we work closely with them to develop a goals-based wealth management approach that can help define their long-term financial needs, lifestyle desires, wealth transfer and legacy objectives and, through access to Bank of America, their philanthropic interests. We understand that clients need to balance and prioritize multiple goals, and we believe we are well-positioned to help them do so.

Community 

Through our volunteerism and charitable outreach, the branch helps support the economic, social and cultural life of the communities in which we live and work. In virtually every Merrill location across the country, employees are involved in fundraising activities meant to benefit their many neighborhoods and causes. And as a local branch office, we feel it is important for us to “give back” and help maintain vibrant, healthy communities and non-profit organizations.

Culture

The branch’s financial advisors are committed to client service and satisfaction. Every relationship begins by helping clients identify their personal and professional goals, including those related to lifestyle and multi-generational issues. With that information, combined with the ability to draw on industry analysts and specialists, financial advisors have the tools to fully understand each client’s current financial situation and can collaborate with them on creating financial strategies designed to meet their long-term objectives.

Advisors at This Location

Our deeply committed advisors call upon Merrill’s tools and resources to help clients pursue personal and professional financial goals, as they also help them prepare for financial and lifestyle challenges that may lie ahead.
