Branch Office Profile

About Us

The advisors at the branch can offer financial strategies that come from years of combined wealth management knowledge and experience. We also stress that our role goes beyond wealth planning advice and guidance. Employing the broad resources of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, advisors can assist with retirement income planning, guidance on concentrated stock positions and traditional investments, as well as providing access to Bank of America’s estate planning services, while working with your outside professionals, such as accountants and tax attorneys.

Culture

The entire branch staff—operations, administration, support and divisional executives—takes pride in being part of an organization that is focused on providing exceptional client service and satisfaction. Because of the commitment of our entire branch, we can deliver services designed to help you meet virtually every investment challenge you may face.

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.

Client Commitment

As a Merrill client, you have access to the knowledge and experience of industry-skilled advisors who are supported by the investing insights of Merrill, a disciplined wealth planning platform, and the technological resources of a leading global financial services firm. Our advisors strive to fully understand your personal and business needs, and those of your family and future generations. We will put your interests first to help you pursue your financial and life goals.
