      What we do for you

      We empower you to live the life you want with confidence and purpose through a smart investment approach and wealth planning process that aligns your finances with your life.

      Each client we work with is more than a portfolio. You bring us your goals, worries, hopes, and dreams and we adopt them as our own. We offer tools, resources, education, and a network of knowledge to support and guide you. We will help you efficiently save for your child's college and create a plan to care for your elderly parents. We will guide you through career transitions and retirement. We can be counted on during divorce or the loss of a spouse. We also understand women's unique financial needs and how to help maximize their wealth in all phases of life.

      As a family business, we have been successfully managing people's money for three generations. Over the past 70 years, we've learned first-hand that life can be unexpected and unexpectedly beautiful at the same time. This helps us bring you the financial experience to make the most of how you're living today and how you want to be living tomorrow. 

      What makes us impactful:
      • Perspective We’re a three-generation family team, providing you with continuity and a seasoned perspective.
      • Reputation We’ve been part of the community since the 1950’s, committed to offering you high-quality service and creating a reputation we’re proud of.
      • Experience As one of the larger practices in the area, we frequently work with individuals and families, giving us the experience to provide guidance for your family, whatever its dynamics and goals.
      • Expertise & Education Our team member, Nora Yousif, is regularly asked to present seminars and comment on personal finance topics by the media. She has been featured on NBC Boston, Channel 5 ABC, NECN, WBZ News radio, CNBC, Forbes and Yahoo! Finance. This benefits you as it helps us to stay on top of industry headlines, and hones our ability to simplify complex financial information.
      • Knowledge In addition to being a CFP®, Nora Yousif completed her MBA at MIT Sloan, a program immersed in quantitative analysis and advanced investment techniques developed by some of the most intelligent minds in the world of business and finance. She brings this insight to you.
      • Service Our team members who work for you are highly qualified. Nora has been selected as Best-in-State Top Women Wealth Advisor by Forbes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Joanna Bishop has received the RBC Award of Excellence twice. This is awarded to employees who consistently go beyond expectations for their clients.

      Is the rebound for real?

      Equity markets have bounced back smartly in Q2. Technical analysis suggests a move higher into early-to-mid-Q3, but investors should watch the U.S. dollar, and more importantly, 30-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields.

      If you've been around for a while, you may know that I often talk about my mother, Hala. That's because at a very young age, she helped me realize that women are limitless. She left a war-torn country and arrived in the US with nothing. She built a thriving business from scratch and raised my brother and I on her own. My mother inspired me to create the Empow(Her) House segment of my practice (https://us.rbcwealthmanagement.com/empowerhousefinancial/empowher-for-women), where I focus on the financial empowerment of women, helping them to create a legacy of wealth for themselves and the next generation. In addition to all of that, she is a trusted advisor, best friend, and one of the most hilarious people I have ever met. Here's a picture of her and her loving hubby on Thanksgiving in Plymouth, dressed as Pilgrims... of course. :) Happy belated Mother's Day to all of the special women out there who have made a lasting difference in their child's life. #mothersday #financialempowerment #momsrule

      Ever wish money came with instructions? It does now, and last week I was very happy to share it with nearly 100 employees at Brookline Bank. One of my most popular talks, "Health of Your Wealth," is a dynamic walk through each decade of financial life. Whether you are in your 20s or 60s (or anywhere in between), it's got something for everyone, including: - What to consider when buying a home. - Being a college-savvy parent. - Helping to protect your family's financial well-being. - Navigating money in relationships: What to do before saying "I do." - Checking your course toward retirement: Accessible tools to use. - Maximizing Social Security: Why women can strategize the most and what just changed if you have a pension. - Avoiding investing pitfalls in today's shifting economy: The 3 lenses I look at are diversification, risk, and cost. Special thank you to my dear friend and rockstar in the banking world, Kelly Bressette, for inviting me in - she's the Executive VP and Director of Operations at Brookline Bancorp. If your workplace could benefit from a session like this, reach out. Until then, what would be in your money playbook? #FinancialWellness #MoneyTips #RetirementPlanning
