William Clinton


Bill focuses on two key niche markets - individuals close to and in retirement who are seeking income from their investments and busy corporate executives who have received various forms of compensation such as deferred compensation, Non-Qualified Stock Options (NQSO), and Restricted Units (RSU).
Time after time, people contact him to receive guidance on their investment accounts. They aren't sure when or how they will retire nor how much they will need to support their quality of life. By working together through a very detailed planning process, he provides a great sense of clarity surrounding all of their questions and concerns. It gives Bill a great sense of personal joy to reach the point where his clients are confident and excited about their financial future.
Bill graduated from Siena College and earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance. He has worked for some of the largest wealth and asset managers globally including Merrill Lynch and Barclays Capital. He taught the CIMA® certification course at the Yale School of Management to help other financial professionals earn their designations.
As a perpetual student of the industry, Bill has earned many advanced designations and certifications. This focused pursuit of knowledge has helped him provide tremendous value to his wide array of clients as a Private Wealth Advisor. He earned his CFP®, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ to enhance his knowledge in creating financial plans. To build upon his experience in creating investment portfolios, he became a Certified Investment Management Analyst, CIMA®. Then, to build upon his professional skillset working with high-net-worth individuals and corporate executives, he became a Certified Private Wealth Advisor, CPWA. Both the CIMA® and the CPWA were earned through the Yale School of Management and the Investments and Wealth Institute.
Bill resides in Chester NJ with his wife Ashlee, and sons Liam and Gavin. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his family and is a life-long NY Rangers fan.

We start by reviewing your business's financial picture, including cash flow, assets, liabilities, and growth objectives. From there, we develop strategies to optimize resources, manage risk, plan for succession, and align your business finances with your long-term goals. Every recommendation is grounded in careful analysis and tailored to the specific needs of your business.
Education and collaboration are central to our process. We take the time to explain options, outline potential outcomes, and answer questions so you and your team feel confident in every decision. Your plan evolves as your business grows and as market conditions change, providing flexibility and strategic guidance every step of the way.
By combining personalized advice, disciplined strategy, and ongoing support, we help businesses navigate complex financial decisions with clarity and confidence. The result is a comprehensive financial plan that empowers your organization, protects its assets, and positions it for long-term success.
We start by examining your current financial picture - income, expenses, assets, and liabilities - along with your short- and long-term objectives. From there, we identify strategies that can help you grow your wealth, manage risk, plan for retirement, and make the most of tax and investment opportunities. Every recommendation is designed specifically for you and grounded in careful analysis and professional expertise.
Education and collaboration are key. We take the time to explain your options, outline potential outcomes, and answer your questions so you feel confident in every decision. Your plan is not static; it evolves as your circumstances and goals change, giving you flexibility and control.
By combining personalized guidance, disciplined strategy, and ongoing support, we help individuals navigate financial complexity with clarity and confidence. The result is a custom financial plan that empowers you to pursue your goals, manage uncertainty, and build a future tailored to your vision.
We begin by taking a detailed look at your financial picture: income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and long-term objectives. From there, we identify opportunities, anticipate challenges, and explore strategies across investing, retirement, tax planning, risk management, and more. Every recommendation is backed by careful analysis, professional insight, and a commitment to putting your interests first.
Our process is collaborative. We take the time to educate you on your options, walk you through potential outcomes, and answer your questions so you feel confident in the decisions being made. A financial plan with us is not just a set of numbers - it's a roadmap that evolves with you as your life changes.

As a Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®), I bring advanced training and a globally recognized standard of expertise to every portfolio. The CIMA® designation emphasizes evidence-based decision making, thorough due diligence, and the application of modern portfolio theory. This means your portfolio is not only tailored to your needs, but also guided by a rigorous framework for asset allocation, risk management, and manager selection.
Portfolio management is not a one-time event - it's an ongoing process. Markets shift, life changes, and your financial plan should evolve as well. That's why we continuously review and adjust your portfolio to keep it aligned with your long-term vision. Our goal is to give you confidence that your investments are managed with intention, expertise, and your best interests at the center of every decision.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I bring a fiduciary standard of care and a comprehensive perspective to every retirement plan. The CFP® designation reflects rigorous training in all aspects of financial planning - from investments and tax strategies to insurance and estate planning - which ensures we consider every piece of your financial life when building your retirement roadmap.
Our process doesn't end once the plan is in place. Retirement is a long journey, and your plan should evolve with you. We provide ongoing guidance, stress-test strategies against different market conditions, and adjust as your needs shift over time. The result is a retirement plan that isn't just numbers on a page - it's a dynamic, living strategy designed to give you clarity and the confidence to enjoy the years ahead.
Our role is to ensure you fully understand those differences so you can make an informed decision with confidence. We carefully analyze your unique circumstances - your financial goals, retirement timeline, investment preferences, and overall plan - to determine which path best aligns with your needs.
As fiduciaries, our commitment is to act in your best interest, not to push one solution over another. The result is a rollover strategy tailored to you, designed to maximize flexibility, minimize costs, and keep your retirement savings working toward your long-term goals. By taking the time to educate and guide you, we help transform what can feel like a complex decision into a clear and confident step forward.
Education is a key part of our process. We take the time to explain the purpose of each type of coverage, how it fits into your overall financial plan, and the potential consequences of underinsurance. By providing clear guidance, we empower you to make informed decisions that safeguard your assets, income, and legacy.
Insurance planning is not a one-time task. It requires ongoing review as your life, finances, and needs evolve. We partner with you to periodically reassess your policies, make adjustments as necessary, and ensure your protection remains aligned with your long-term goals.
The result is a personalized insurance strategy designed to protect what matters most, and give you the confidence that your financial plan is comprehensive and resilient.
Education and transparency are central to our approach. We take the time to explain the features, benefits, and potential limitations of annuities, so you can make an informed decision with confidence. Our goal is to ensure that any annuity we recommend fits seamlessly within your broader financial plan, supporting your long-term objectives without creating unnecessary complexity or cost.
Every decision is guided by a fiduciary standard. We act in your best interest, helping you weigh the options, consider alternatives, and understand how an annuity fits into your overall strategy. Annuities are not a default solution. They are one tool among many, applied thoughtfully and selectively to help achieve your financial goals.
The result is a personalized approach to annuities that prioritizes your needs, provides clarity, and ensures that your retirement strategy remains secure, flexible, and aligned with what matters most to you.
Our approach goes beyond just documents. We take the time to understand your objectives, anticipate potential challenges, and coordinate strategies that minimize taxes, provide for loved ones, and safeguard your wealth across generations. This includes reviewing existing trusts, identifying gaps in coverage, and evaluating options to optimize both your estate and your overall financial plan.
Education and collaboration are central to our process. We help you understand the impact of different trust structures and estate strategies, so you feel confident in the decisions being made. Your plan is dynamic and evolves with changes in your life, the law, and your goals, ensuring it remains effective over time.
The result is a tailored estate planning strategy that protects your legacy, and ensures your financial intentions are respected for years to come.
To support this process, we utilize advanced tax planning software from Holistiplan, which allows us to model scenarios, analyze potential outcomes, and uncover opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. This technology helps us provide detailed insights into tax strategies, retirement planning, charitable giving, and estate planning, so that every decision you make is informed and deliberate.
Our goal is to give you clarity and confidence, showing not just the numbers, but the long-term impact of your choices. By combining personalized guidance, collaborative planning, and sophisticated tools, we help ensure that your tax strategy works in harmony with your financial plan and long-term objectives.

Once we understand the potential costs, we work with you to determine the best approach to saving. This includes evaluating different types of accounts, such as 529 plans, custodial accounts, or other investment vehicles, each with its own benefits, tax considerations, and flexibility. Our goal is to help you choose a strategy that maximizes your savings potential while keeping your child's educational goals within reach.
Education funding is not a one-time decision - it's an ongoing process. We monitor your plan over time, adjusting contributions, investment allocations, and account strategies as circumstances change. By providing guidance, tools, and insights, we help ensure that you feel confident in your ability to fund your child's education without compromising your broader financial plan. The result is a personalized, comprehensive education funding strategy.
Our process begins with a deep understanding of your objectives and preferences. From there, we carefully design a portfolio that balances risk and reward, selects appropriate asset classes, and leverages diversification to help pursue long-term growth and stability. Each decision is grounded in disciplined analysis, professional insight, and a commitment to your best interests.
Education and transparency are key components of our approach. We take the time to explain the rationale behind every investment choice, the potential risks and benefits, and how each piece fits into your overall financial plan. Portfolio management with us is a dynamic, ongoing process. Markets change, life circumstances evolve, and your portfolio adapts accordingly.
The result is a truly personalized investment experience - portfolios that reflect your individual needs, values, and goals. With a strategy designed just for you, you can feel confident that your investments are being managed with expertise, care, and a long-term perspective.
Wealth management goes beyond investments. It encompasses retirement planning, tax strategies, estate considerations, insurance, and cash flow - all working together as a coordinated plan. By integrating these elements, we help ensure that your financial decisions support both your current lifestyle and your future security.
Our role is to guide, educate, and partner with you through every stage of life. We stay actively engaged, adjusting strategies as your circumstances or goals evolve, and providing clarity in a constantly changing financial world. The result is a personalized wealth management experience that reflects your unique journey and keeps your best interests at the center of every decision.
We take the time to educate you on the types of risks you may face, how your existing policies work, and where adjustments may be needed. By combining careful analysis with thoughtful guidance, we help you make informed decisions that align with your overall financial plan.
Risk management isn't just about reacting to threats - it's about proactive planning. By regularly reviewing your coverage and reassessing your risk exposure, we work to safeguard your assets, income, and legacy. The result is a tailored strategy that gives you confidence knowing that your financial plan is resilient, comprehensive, and designed to protect what matters most.
Education is a central part of our approach. We take the time to walk you through key concepts such as cash flow in retirement, spending strategies, and the impact of taxes and inflation on your income. Our goal is to make complex financial ideas simple and actionable, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Money management is not just about tracking numbers - it's about creating a strategy that supports your lifestyle and long-term objectives. We partner with you to establish priorities, optimize resources, and adjust plans as circumstances change. By providing guidance, insights, and tools tailored to your unique situation, we help you feel confident in managing your finances today while preparing for a fulfilling tomorrow.
