"Our clients have high expectations, and so do we. We deliver individualized, expert advice while providing a premium, high-touch level of client service.”

Simplifying the complex

Brian has always loved meeting people. Today, that’s his favorite aspect of his job—and getting to hear their stories. “I’m fascinated with how people have built their wealth and their diverse views,” says Brian, who always asks good questions and really listens “so I can deliver individualized advice to help them reach their personal goals.”

As part of Northern Tier Wealth Management at UBS, Brian draws upon his expertise to help clients manage their financial lives—from college savings, retirement planning and portfolio management to wealth transfer and generational legacy planning. “The client is at the center of everything we do,” he says. “We put our clients’ interests first and operate with a fiduciary mindset. We keep a keen eye on the ever-changing tax code and seek to maximize tax efficiency, whether through portfolio management, retirement planning, life insurance, or trust and estate planning.”

Brian's focus is portfolio management and he believes asset allocation is the foundation of any sound financial plan, making sure each client is appropriately invested based on their needs and risk tolerance.

In a world full of complex solutions, he is particularly good at breaking down and communicating investment concepts in ways clients can understand and appreciate. Some client situations are more complex than others, but Brian believes that no matter the level of complexity, every client deserves great advice.

“The client is at the center of everything we do in developing a comprehensive plan in a high-touch fashion.”

Achieving aspirational goals

In college, Bill was certain he wanted to be an accountant. However, after spending time in business school, he realized finance would be a better fit and changed his concentration.

He landed at Ernst & Young, where he helped build the firm’s Philadelphia Personal Financial Counseling practice and would gain a strong tax and accounting foundation. After 12 years there, he spent the next 16 years at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, providing integrated financial solutions for executives, business owners and high net worth individuals and eventually overseeing a team of 17 private bankers while working with clients.

Today, Bill is proud to be part of the Northern Tier Wealth Management team at UBS, helping clients and their families attain their financial and aspirational goals through customized, unbiased advice. “We provide wealth planning, investing, banking, lending, income tax, estate, tax and charitable planning strategies with the feel of a boutique firm supported by the capabilities of a global firm". He is also a lead advisor working with business owners looking for business succession/exit planning strategies.

With almost 30 years of experience in wealth management, Bill draws on his expertise to further his longstanding client relationships, which he values tremendously. “I truly value the trust my clients have in me to help them and their families achieve their financial and aspirational goals.”
