Willcox Wealth Management

Originally from Massachusetts, I now reside in New York City with my wife, Carolina. My interest in personal finance began shortly after graduating college, during my time working for the Boston Red Sox. While the role provided a memorable experience, I quickly realized how challenging it was to navigate employee benefits, manage a budget, and begin saving—especially in a high-cost city. That experience revealed a significant knowledge gap, which I set out to fill through self-study and a deep dive into personal finance literature. Over time, that curiosity evolved into a clear professional purpose: to help others gain clarity and confidence in their financial lives. Following my time in sports, I spent several years working in various client-facing roles across the financial services industry. I gained experience at a regional bank, a large brokerage firm, and most recently, a national Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). Each role offered valuable insight into different areas of the financial world, and collectively, they reinforced my desire to create something more personal and client-centered. I founded Willcox Wealth Management with the goal of providing clear, unbiased financial advice rooted in trust, education, and long-term relationships. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and an Enrolled Agent (EA), which allows me to serve clients not only in a comprehensive planning capacity but also with specialized tax expertise before the IRS.

Rosefinch Investment Advisors

I am a seasoned financial advisor with over 18 years of experience in helping clients achieve their financial aspirations. My interest in financial planning was inspired by witnessing the effects of the financial crisis on my family. My upbringing, alongside a profoundly disabled brother, instilled in me a deep sense of empathy and a commitment to assisting those in need. These formative experiences have shaped my dedication to guiding individuals through complex financial challenges with precision and care. A graduate of the University at Albany (SUNY), I have built a thriving practice focused on personalized service and innovative solutions. My approach emphasizes risk management, portfolio diversification, and long-term financial security, empowering clients to confidently navigate today's ever-changing financial landscape. I hold several industry licenses and designations, including Series 7, 24, 63, and 66 exams, Licensed Insurance Agent, and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®). I live in Long Island, New York, with my wife, two children, and dog. Securities offered through Simplicity Investments. Member FINRA/SIPC, 475 Springfield Ave., Summit, NJ 07901, (303) 797-9080.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
