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.

Williams College Lone Suitor for Development of Water Street Lot
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
Williams College hopes to replace the current Facilities Services building on Latham Street and use that space for a new athletics complex.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — If the town accepts an offer from Williams College, a 1.27-acre lot that long has been eyed as a possible venue for housing and economic development instead will find a use similar to its history.
The college was the lone respondent to the town's request for proposals to purchase and develop 59 Water St., a dirt lot known around town as the "old town garage site." This was first reported Wednesday by Greylock News.
If successful, the college plans to use the former town garage property for the school's Facilities Services building. Or it could be turned back into a parking lot.
Williams' offer includes a $500,000 upfront payment and a 10-year agreement to make $50,000 annual donations to the Mount Greylock Regional School District according to the proposal unsealed on Wednesday afternoon.
If it closes the deal, the college said it will explore development of a three- to four-story Facilities Services building with "a structured parking facility providing approximately 170 spaces."
"[I]f site constraints impact our ability to develop both structured parking and the Facilities Services building, our backup proposal is to develop the parking structure with approximately 170 spaces, also with capacity to support institutional and public needs," the college's proposal reads.
The college's current Facilities property at 60 Latham St. has an assessed value — for the .42-acre lot only — of $113,000 and an annual property tax bill of $1,606, according to the town's website.
Bergeron answered that officials in both member towns told the district they did not want Mount Greylock using taxpayers' money to build their reserves. click for more
