As your Financial Advisors, we are committed to building a relationship of trust in which we can work closely with you to help define your objectives, explore alternatives and choose the financial and investment strategies that are most appropriate for you.

Working With You
As your team of financial advisors, you will benefit from the combined industry-leading resources and insights of Morgan Stanley and our collective 75 years of knowledge and experience. Below are details of our engagement process:
Step One: Getting to Know You
Every new relationship begins with our team asking questions. Some questions are designed to gain a better understanding of your values, priorities and risk tolerance. Other questions will be more quantitative and lead to understanding your current income, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities, among other things. Your answers will provide the framework to begin developing a financial plan.
Step Two: Strategy Development
After the discovery phase, we will develop a strategy that is relevant to your current situation – a comprehensive financial plan that will incorporate virtually all the financial aspects in your life.
Step Three: Implementation
During this phase, we implement the financial planning recommendations. With many investors finding this step to be difficult, proper implementation of a set strategy is one of the largest contributors to helping achieve financial success. We help our clients execute their strategies, and we will clarify and explain the exact steps taken on your behalf. Our most successful clients will tell you that getting started is the key to success.
Step Four: Continuous Monitoring
Plans and goals evolve and change with life. We will constantly monitor and adapt to the changes in your life. Wealth management is a dynamic process, and our team will be ready to adjust your plan to help ensure that you have the highest probability of successfully attaining your desired goals.

About Sean C. Reilly
Sean Reilly is a Financial Advisor and a Financial Planning Specialist at Morgan Stanley. He is a member of the Coastal Group, a team of five financial advisors with extensive years of combined experience, and who have established themselves as one of the leaders in multi-generational wealth and retirement planning.
Sean approaches each client’s specific goals methodically and holistically and tailors a personalized investment strategy that addresses the inherent long-term nature of those goals. Sean knows that life is a marathon and not a sprint; in 2016, he embarked on a mountain bike camping trip through South Africa, an endeavor that took three months with over 2,500 miles of riding through the arid climate of the Karoo and through the green mountains of the Drakensberg.

Both trips were extremely humbling, but they also illuminated that the physical, the mental, and the financial aspects of life thread through endurance.
Sean lives in Madison, Connecticut, with his wife, Ashlyn, their dog, Jammer, and their new baby girl, Lucy Graham Reilly, who Sean cannot wait to go hiking, biking, and skiing with.
