About Us
"Life is a journey. Relax and enjoy the trip knowing that an effective financial roadmap has been created for you so you can arrive at your destination feeling great."
- Irv Munn.
Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship. Since 1999, Munn & Morris Financial Advisors has been developing relationships with clients based on that single principle. Leveraging our relationship with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., we offer clients a wealth of financial and investment advice that can help prepare them for the journey of life.
For more than two decades, founders Ed Morris and Irv Munn have been building an outstanding record of accomplishment in the field of financial planning and wealth management by helping their clients take control of their financial destinies.
In order to develop a successful financial roadmap, we must first get to know you. Munn & Morris begins each relationship by looking at a client's entire financial picture. We review where you are today, where you would like to be in the future and develop a comprehensive plan to help you get there. We utilize a team approach so that our clients may benefit from working with CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS™ and investment advisors.
Our Financial Advisors are independent representatives of Raymond James Financial Services, not employees. This independence enables us to have a full range of investment and insurance products available for our clients. Our foremost principle is that we will always do what is best for our clients.
We invite you to learn more about our team members so you can get a feeling of what we're about. Afterward, contact us so we can get to know you!
