My Team
Not only is my team available at your convenience, but Janney has also structured itself to be immediately responsive to clients’ needs—all levels of Janney’s staff are easily accessible, and possess a willingness and enthusiasm to help.
My mission is to help you to define your financial objectives, and then use that knowledge to develop — together — a plan that is tailored to fit your unique needs and preferences, and is in your best interest. I’m proud to offer comprehensive financial planning resources, providing you access to education, advice, planning, and consultation.
Each day at work, Bill sits down with individuals and families to help plan for their future. While each client has their own unique needs and objectives, Bill finds most of their concerns can be summed up in two questions – can I reach my goals, and what is the best path to get me there?
