Experience

Makes all the difference

Thomas Sheehan

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Financial Advisor

Tom delivers a disciplined and comprehensive approach to wealth management, grounded in a genuine commitment to understanding each client’s full financial picture. He begins every relationship by taking the time to learn about a client’s family dynamics, financial priorities, long‑term aspirations, and the values that shape their decision‑making. This thoughtful discovery process allows Tom to create strategies that are not only customized but able to evolve as personal circumstances and market conditions change.

With more than two decades of experience, Tom applies a steady and informed perspective, helping clients navigate complexity and make confident, well‑supported choices. His approach blends technical expertise with a high‑touch service model, ensuring that clients receive guidance tailored to their goals at every stage of their financial lives—from wealth accumulation and risk management to retirement planning and legacy considerations.

Tom’s philosophy is rooted in service. He is passionate about providing an exceptional client experience, anticipating needs, and helping individuals and families pursue meaningful outcomes. Equally important to him is his dedication to community engagement. Tom believes that giving back strengthens the communities he serves, and he actively volunteers his time with organizations that align with those values.

Today, Tom focuses on helping clients bring clarity and structure to the often‑complex world of wealth management. He takes a holistic view of each client’s objectives—whether preparing for retirement, planning for education expenses, managing concentrated stock positions, or creating a thoughtful legacy strategy—and develops tailored solutions supported by comprehensive insights.

By combining careful listening, disciplined planning, and a deep understanding of market dynamics, Tom helps clients align where they are today with where they hope to be in the future. His goal is to ensure each client feels informed, empowered, and equipped to pursue their vision of financial independence.

A Rhode Island native, Tom graduated from Providence College in 1997, where he was a member of the PC Hockey Team. He received his MBA from Providence College in 2005. He has more than 27 years of experience in the financial services industry and is a trusted advisor known for his integrity, reliability, and commitment to helping clients achieve long‑term success. Over his career, he has built a reputation for developing strong, enduring relationships centered on thoughtful guidance and consistent follow‑through.

Tom lives in Warwick, Rhode Island with his wife, Jenn, and their three children—Tommy (20), Isabelle (18), and Sophie (16). Family is central to his life, and he brings that same sense of dedication to the clients and communities he serves. Outside of work, he enjoys staying active through hockey and golf and spending quality time with his family.
