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 READI Committee Transitions Away From Select Board
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday voted unanimously to transition the town's diversity committee away from the role it has served since its inception in 2020.
On a 4-0 vote, the board voted to formally dissolve the body recently renamed the Race, Equity, Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and allow its members to work directly with the town manager to advance the issues that the former DIRE Committee addressed over the last six years.
When the then-Diversity, Inclusion and Racial Equity Committee was formed in the summer of 2020, it was conceived as an advisory body to the Select Board.
Over the years, the relationship between the Select Board and DIRE became strained, to the point where READI Committee members last year were openly discussing whether their group should remain a town committee at all or become a grassroots organization on the model of the town's Carbon Dioxide Lowering (COOL Committee).
"I just don't think that previous Select Boards have been the best guides in the process of getting things accomplished in the community," said Shana Dixon, who served on DIRE before her election to the Select Board last May. "Not that this panel, right now, could be better.
"What I'm saying is that it has been a hindrance to work under the Select Board."
It was not immediately clear whether the next incarnation of the READI Committee would continue to comply with the provisions of the Open Meeting Law.
