Meet Matthews

Matthews, a Wealth Advisor at Mercer Advisors, joined the firm in 2023 through a partnership with Day & Ennis. He previously served as an advisor at Wiser Wealth Management, Northwestern Mutual, AIG Retirement Services, and Merrill Lynch. He began his career in 2012 as an advisor at The Piedmont Group. Matthews strives to learn as much about his clients as he can. He then uses that knowledge to help them learn the importance of proper planning and staying invested long term. He enjoys connecting with families on a deeper level. Matthews earned a BBA from the Terry College of Business, University of Georgia.

Matthews in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Morgan, and our two sons, Matthews Jr. and Sumner. I also enjoy playing golf, traveling, and going to concerts.

Why do you like working at Mercer Advisors?

I enjoy working at Mercer Advisors because the firm prioritizes the best interests of its clients while fostering a strong culture of collaboration and support among advisors and teammates. As a national fiduciary firm, we have the resources to deliver comprehensive services tailored to the needs of our local communities in Middle Georgia.

How do you give back?

Helping others is important to me. I am involved in 3rd Decade to teach financial literacy, and I raise funds with the Macon Civic Club for our local community. I also volunteer at First Tee of Middle Georgia.
