Our Mission Statement
We understand the complexities of wealth and deliver tailored advice and solutions to help achieve the financial goals you've set for you and your family.
Our story and services
When you build something extraordinary, you face challenges most people never see. If you're an executive or board member, maybe you are weighing regulatory constraints. As a business owner, it may be balancing daily operations with succession planning. For families, you often must coordinate multi-generational wealth, complex estates, and charitable priorities.
For those who have reached the pinnacle of success, financial decisions are never one-and-done. They are high-stakes, ongoing responsibilities that require an advisory team capable of coordinating every element of your financial life without losing sight of the big picture.
At the Monk Wealth Management Group, we understand those pressures because we've spent decades working alongside individuals and families like yours. Backed by top-tier industry credentials and the institutional-caliber resources of Morgan Stanley — we bring coordination, insight, and disciplined execution to your financial life, so you can focus on what matters most: leading your business, building your legacy, and living life on your own terms.
Our team brings decades of experience working with families through every stage of wealth. We have seen the milestones, the transitions, and the challenges that come with success at this level. And with advanced credentials across the team — including Family Wealth Director and Certified Financial Planner® — we are built to guide clients through those moments with perspective and discipline.
Collaboration is core to how we work. We are a fully engaged team where every client relationship is shared and every strategy is coordinated. For our clients, we operate as a central point of financial leadership — integrating portfolio management with tax strategy, trust and estate planning, executive compensation, restricted stock, banking and lending, insurance, and liquidity planning. We also work closely with our clients' attorneys and CPAs to help ensure alignment and efficiency. For clients who are subject to heightened regulation or who hold concentrated positions, this integrated approach can be especially valuable in helping you make more informed decisions over time.
At the end of the day, our practice is built on deep, lifelong relationships that often span many decades and multiple generations. To preserve that depth, we intentionally work with a select number of families, allowing us to stay deeply involved, highly responsive, and fully accountable to you and your family.

Planning Your Wealth and Legacy
Our comprehensive suite of Family Office Resources is designed to help you preserve and grow your financial, family, and social capital so that it can have the greatest positive impact today for generations to come. Connect with our team to begin managing your significant wealth and making complicated decisions confidently.
Family Governance & Wealth Education
Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management just released its Educational series on Goal Setting and Budgeting; Credit and Debt Management; and Introduction to Investing that demonstrates basic strategies as a starting point for more customized programs depending on your individual goals.
Private Wealth Management
With exceptional wealth comes exceptional complexity. Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management combines the vast resources of a trusted global financial services firm with the individualized services of an investment boutique for a hands-on tailored approach to help families, foundations and individuals manage the multiple facets —and legacy—of their wealth.
Trust and Estate Planning
The issue is often around starting the difficult conversation of estate planning. Talking with a parent about sensitive topics like incapacity or end-of-life issues is never easy. But adults with aging parents can open the lines of communication about the family's financial future and the need to have a plan.
Cybersecurity
Whether it's strengthening your passwords or treating emails from unknown senders with more caution, consider taking these steps to help reduce the threat of identity theft, online scams, malware, fraud and more.
Philanthropy
We provide our clients with a smart way to give to causes and charities they care about through Morgan Stanley GIFT. Our donor advised fund, GIFT, is a 501(c)(3) public charity structured to offer you a simple, thoughtful and tax-advantageous way to support your favorite charities.
Reserved Living & Giving
The enjoyment of wealth means the most powerful benefits of a family office is the potential to help family members simplify their personal lives. Signature Access, the highest tier of Morgan Stanley's complimentary loyalty program Reserved Living & Giving, gives clients with $10 million or more in assets at the firm access to world class services such as Private Health Advisory, Personal Cybersecurity Services, Aircraft Management and more in addition to all the discounts and content available through Reserved Living & Giving.
Art Resources Team (ART)
Art may play a significant role in the context of a collector's overall wealth. It is estimated that 5-10% of an ultra high net worth individual's balance sheet is art and collectibles, which approximates $3 trillion of art privately held. Learn more about our Art Resources Team and how the Monk Wealth Management Group can assist.

About Taylor Haller
Taylor Haller is a Registered Client Service Associate with The Monk Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley. With years of experience and an M.B.A. in Business Management, she delivers and maintains the elevated client service experience that high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients rely on every day.
After earning her undergraduate degree from Coppin State University, Taylor went on to receive an M.B.A. in Business Management from the University of Maryland Global Campus. She joined Morgan Stanley in 2022 and has quickly established herself as an integral resource for both clients and the advisory team. Fully licensed, she combines strong operational knowledge with a client-first communication style that helps translate complex requests into clear, actionable outcomes.
In her role, Taylor supports the full spectrum of day-to-day client needs, from coordinating account maintenance and money movement requests to preparing documentation ahead of complex transactions and advisory meetings. She works closely with advisors to help ensure that every detail behind a client relationship is handled with accuracy and urgency — particularly in situations where timing, discretion, and coordination across multiple accounts is essential. Her approach is highly proactive: she strives to anticipate what’s needed before it’s requested, streamline internal processes, and serve as a consistent point of contact for clients and their families. In a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly, Taylor helps ensure the experience remains organized, efficient, and tailored to the standards of an institutional-caliber client base.

About Hannah Fierro
Hannah Fierro is a Client Service Associate with The Monk Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley. Working closely with the advisory team, Hannah helps maintain the operational flow that allows high-net-worth clients to receive a seamless and well-organized wealth management experience.
A graduate of Purdue University, Hannah earned her B.A. in Public Relations & Strategic Communication, along with a minor in Spanish. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley in 2024, she built experience in fast-paced communications and client-facing roles, including positions in public relations and project coordination at agencies such as JPR Group and MikeWorldWide. That background sharpened her ability to manage competing priorities, communicate clearly across stakeholders, and support complex workflows with precision and structure.
A key member of the service team, Hannah supports a wide range of client needs and administrative functions, including scheduling, meeting coordination, account servicing requests, and digital platform support. Because of her work, meetings happen when they should, documents are in place when they’re needed, and time-sensitive requests like funding accounts or updating paperwork don’t become points of stress or delay. In many cases, these are the small but important steps that sit behind larger decisions clients are making for their families, businesses, or long-term plans; and Hannah’s focus is on making sure nothing in that chain breaks down.
Outside the office, Hannah enjoys spending time with family and friends and her miniature dachshund, Maisie. An avid runner, she completed the 2025 Chicago Marathon and is set to run it again in 2026, along with several half marathons. She also enjoys traveling and exploring Chicago’s food scene.
