I’m Shaun Taylor, a seasoned financial advisor with over 18 years of experience guiding individuals, families, and business owners toward stronger financial futures. My career has taken shape through roles at some of the industry’s most respected firms—New York Life, Fidelity, and Merrill Lynch—where I honed my skills in investment strategy, financial planning, and client-focused advice.
Today, I’m proud to lead my own independent Registered Investment Advisory firm as Founder and CEO. My mission is to deliver thoughtful, holistic guidance tailored to life’s real-world goals. I bring not only technical insight but also wisdom, empathy, and perspective to every client conversation—helping people make confident financial decisions that align with their values and aspirations.
My Mission Is Clear: Empowering You to Build Your Best Life
At Taylor Williams Private Wealth Management, education and empowerment are at the heart of everything I do. I specialize in helping individuals understand how to use life insurance contracts and investment vehicles to build lasting wealth. A cornerstone of my work is teaching people how to maximize their workplace 401(k) benefits — one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools for retirement planning.
As a subject matter expert in financial strategy, I’ve had the privilege of presenting both virtually and in person, including:
Whether it's simplifying complex concepts or inspiring action, I’m here to help you take charge of your financial future with clarity and confidence.
Academic and Professional Credentials
My educational journey began at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts Studies — a foundation that shaped both my strategic thinking and broad-based approach to financial advising.
Professionally, I hold several industry-recognized credentials:
This combination of academic insight and professional expertise equips me to help clients navigate the complexities of wealth building with confidence and clarity.
In the People Business — By Design
At the heart of my work is a core belief: service begins with genuine connection. I’ve built Taylor Williams Private Wealth Management on the principles of partnership and collaboration, meeting people where they are and joining them on their financial journey. Every strategy I develop is rooted in understanding — empowering clients to achieve clarity and build legacies shaped by informed choices and purposeful action.
My Background in Service and Communication
I’m proud to have served in the U.S. Army Reserve as a 91 Delta Operating Room Technician — an experience that instilled in me discipline, precision, and a deep respect for being of service. Before transitioning fully into financial services, I was a radio personality on HOT 105 FM’s The Quiet Storm in Miami (1995–1996), where I learned the power of connection through conversation — a skill I now use every day with clients.
Life Outside the Office
I’ve been happily married for 28 years and am the proud father of one daughter. Our family also includes Max, our beloved dog — and if you ever find me smiling ear to ear, chances are I’m on the golf course, my personal happy place.
Why I Do What I Do
For me, this journey is about far more than financial success — it’s about helping as many people as possible create the life they want to live by making sure their money is working for them. I’m here to support your vision with integrity, clarity, and hard-earned experience.
