Stronger Together

Mercer Advisors understands the importance of joining forces with impressive local advisory firms. Together, we can provide clients with a greater breadth and depth of services and value—and, most importantly, keep our promises to them.

We’ve worked hard to retain some of the best aspects of a local boutique firm: white-glove service that comes from an intimate understanding of our clients’ families, lifestyles, situations, and needs. We combine this with the type of resources, specialized personnel, and risk mitigation of a national firm.

  • Deep experience working with: C-suite professionals, engineers, technology leaders, entrepreneurs, physicians, and many other professions.
  • We’re proud that nearly half of our client-facing team firm-wide are women.

Financial Planning
Comprehensive financial planning for Bend clients and families that can help organize your full financial picture — from taxes and investments to estate planning and risk management — around your most important goals as part of Mercer Advisors’ family office-inspired wealth management model.
Tax Planning & Preparation
Proactive tax planning and preparation for Bend residents designed to help manage tax obligations throughout the year, with strategies evaluated before transactions occur rather than after the fact with a dedicated team of financial advisors and tax professionals working in coordination.

Institutional-grade portfolio management for Bend clients and families that can help put institutional-level research, oversight, and portfolio construction to work for your family’s specific objectives with your wealth advisor revisiting your investment strategy regularly to help keep it aligned with your plan.
Estate Planning
Estate planning guidance for Bend clients that can help make sure your wishes are properly documented, your assets are structured thoughtfully, and your loved ones aren’t left with unnecessary burdens as part of Mercer Advisors’ integrated, family office-inspired wealth management approach.
Insurance Solutions
Strategic insurance planning for Bend clients built to help make sure your protection keeps pace with your growing assets — with proactive reviews and clear, transparent guidance from a team you already know and trust with a dedicated insurance team working alongside your wealth advisor to help keep your coverage aligned with your goals.
Trustee Services
Independent trust administration services for Bend clients that can help serve as an objective, professional fiduciary — providing continuity of service and trustee expertise across even the most complex or multigenerational trust structures with a Trust Operations Group and wealth management team working in coordination on your behalf.
