About Melissa M. Turner
Melissa Turner is a Financial Advisor of the Beverly Hills Complex of Morgan Stanley. A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®), she helps clients create comprehensive financial plans, proactive estate and insurance strategies, and customized investment allocations to help clients fulfil their financial and legacy goals.
Prior to becoming a Financial Advisor, Melissa was a Financial Planning Director and Vice President, where she assisted Financial Advisors and their clients on High-Net Worth and Ultra-High Net Worth Planning.
Known for industrious spirit, Melissa also helped head up the Firm’s Pacific Coast Region Planning Department as a Planning Solutions Specialist and Assistant Vice President, where she sat in San Francisco and travelled to and covered the region’s seven states (California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho). In this role, she met with top Financial Advisors and their teams to help develop planning techniques designed to increase productivity and deepen and solidify client relationships. In addition, she trained new Financial Advisors and their associates on the Firm’s planning platforms.
Before entering the Securities Industry, Melissa had a thriving, decade long career in Real Estate – first as an Escrow Processor, then as a Real Estate Agent. She became interested in the Wealth Management field because she wanted to continue to provide financial advice to her clients well after the real estate transaction closed.
Melissa is a passionate people person with strong communication skills and problem- solving. On top of her CFP® and CPWA® designations, she holds her Series 7 and 66 Licenses and Life and Health Insurance Licenses. Additionally, she completed a highly regarded course through The Yale School of Management: Wealth Management Theory and Practice and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance.
A Southern Californian native, Melissa enjoys spending time with her family, specifically her two young nieces. In her spare time, she enjoys working out, travelling, and hiking.
