Retirement Planning

Four years ago, I had a plan to retire at 60 years old and wasn’t sure if my savings and investments would be enough. After our initial meeting with Brian and John, their exceptional knowledge of the market, Social Security and taxes gave my wife, Angela and me the confidence to entrust Williams Asset Management with our life’s savings to plan for retirement. After completing our “living expense worksheet”, Brian & John explained their investment strategy for us that wasn’t too aggressive while still maintaining comfortable growth that has kept me on course for an early retirement!

I’ve been a client of Williams Asset Management for five years. Brian McKinney, my financial advisor, is knowledgeable, pleasant, and very kind. He considers my current and future financial needs and risk tolerance, and provides personalized advice that I can understand. Brian answers my questions promptly and makes helpful suggestions that add value. I trust him and feel respected. The same is true of all the other staff with whom I’ve interacted. WAM exists to provide clients with financial planning and management, of course, but it is clear to me that customer service is a top priority. I actually enjoy going to my semi-annual check-in meetings because I always learn something. I highly recommend WAM.

My mother was a client of Williams Asset, relying on them to manage her assets in her retirement. She always had good experiences with them. When she passed away, she was able to pass on her estate to my brothers and me. Since receiving my inheritance, I have followed in her footsteps and used Williams Asset to manage my family’s assets as I prepare for my own retirement. Their holistic approach to creating a plan that takes into account all aspects my financial wellbeing has helped give me confidence to look forward to a retirement date that makes sense for me and that should allow for a retirement lifestyle that I can be happy with. My advisors, Tom Watson and John O’Callaghan, have demonstrated great savvy in their financial planning advice. I’m grateful to have found a team that has shown such a great ability to listen to my needs and goals and translate that information into a plan that works for my family and me.

As I approached 35 years as a corporate executive, I was searching for the ideal solution to my family’s financial planning needs—an independent firm that wasn’t tied to large financial institutions, yet had access to sophisticated financial tools and resources.

I found exactly that with Williams Asset Management. Their team has consistently provided attentive, customized service and developed financial strategies tailored to my unique objectives. I have been extremely pleased with the level of care, expertise, and responsiveness they offer.
Whether I have a significant financial question, a smaller concern, or simply need advice, I can easily connect with their team and receive thoughtful, timely support. Their commitment to personalized service has made them a trusted partner in helping me achieve my financial goals.

Switching to Williams Asset Management was truly one of the best moves we’ve ever made. For 5 years prior to the change our retirement accounts had remained flat, but within just one year of joining WAM we saw dramatic improvement. While performance has been excellent, what really sets them apart is their proactive, personal communication. We never have to wonder where we stand; they are always one step ahead, keeping us informed and confident. Now, more than a decade later, the peace of mind that comes from knowing our retirement is secure allows us to enjoy life rather than worry about the markets. If you feel like your financial plan is just spinning its wheels, we can’t recommend this team highly enough.
