WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Berkshire Money Management (BMM) will open a new office at 136 Water Street in Williamstown later this year to better serve clients in the northern Berkshires and southern Vermont.
Allen Harris, Founder and CEO of Berkshire Money Management, said the new office represents the firm's ongoing effort to stay close to the people it serves.
"BMM has always strived to meet people where they are – what are the challenges their family is facing? What goals can we help them reach?" Harris asked. "Investing in Williamstown lets us literally meet our clients and neighbors where they are, right in their own community."
The move expands BMM's physical presence across Berkshire County, with offices now in Dalton and Great Barrington.
Advisors will begin meeting clients in Williamstown by appointment later this year, with a grand opening planned for early 2026.
"I see this less as a business expansion and more of a commitment," Harris added. "We're committed to all of Berkshire County, from Sheffield to Clarksburg, and now our physical footprint will reflect that."
The Williamstown office will be the home base of Financial Advisor Brendan Bullett, who joined BMM earlier this fall.
Bullett was born and raised in North Adams and has nearly two decades of experience helping employees of Williams College, North Adams Regional Hospital, Berkshire Health Systems, and other local organizations. He will be joined by a full-time office support specialist.
The building, which is near Spring Street and the Williams College campus, is owned by BMM Co-Founder and Chief Engagement Officer Stacey Carver. She purchased the property earlier this year.
"The property is in great shape," Carver said. "We're making a few cosmetic updates including new flooring and fresh furniture, but we're nearly ready to welcome clients. We're excited to become part of everyday life in Williamstown."
The firm joined the Williamstown Chamber of Commerce and is actively seeking ways to support local organizations and causes through sponsorships and community partnerships. Groups in the northern Berkshires interested in sponsorship support can reach out to info@berkshiremm.com for more information.
"We may not be officially open just yet, but we're very happy to be here," Carver added. "If you see us on Water Street or around town, I hope you'll say hello."
Founded in 2001, Berkshire Money Management helps clients navigate retirement, business exits, divorce, inheritance, and new beginnings with comprehensive, fee-only financial planning, Social Security and Medicare coaching, tax and estate optimization, investment management, and business valuation.

Williamstown Board Opts to Negotiate with College on Water St. Lot
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
Newly elected board member Nate Budington, far left, participates in his first in-person meeting along with, from left, Matt Neely, Stephanie Boyd, Peter Beck, Shana Dixon and Town Manager Robert Menicocci.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday decided to enter into negotiations with Williams College on the sale of the vacant town-owned lot at 59 Water St.
But the board members made it clear that the college's proposal to acquire the lot is a starting point, not a final deal that the elected officials would accept.
"For the sake of continued conversation, I'm in favor of [awarding Williams the site], but if this process wasn't continued with the opportunity for further negotiation, I wouldn't vote to continue this," Peter Beck said. "I think that next step is necessary for us to get to a yes on this."
"I think there's wide agreement on that," Matthew Neely said just before the 5-0 vote to enter talks with the college.
Williams was the sole respondent to a town-issued request for proposals to develop the former town garage site, currently a dirt lot.
The college's stated intent is to build a new Facilities office and create up to 170 parking spaces at 59 Water Street. That use will allow the college to redevelop the current Facilities building site and parking lot as part of a reconception of the school's indoor athletic and recreation facilities.
Under the terms of the RFP, the college's proposal was subjected to review by an ad hoc advisory committee to the town manager, who brought the question to the Select Board. That board will have the final say on any purchase and sales agreement.
