L. Grier Williford,

As the founder of Prestwick Capital Advisors, Grier brings more than sixteen years of experience in providing financial advice and guidance to successful families and individuals. He partners with his clients as an advocate and strives to develop a deep understanding of them, helping to simplify the complexities that so often accompany wealth.

A second-generation financial advisor, Grier grew up watching his father positively impact the lives of his clients. It’s what inspired Grier to partner with his own clients to provide comprehensive wealth management services that include financial planning, investment management, risk management and legacy planning.

He holds the Certified Private Wealth Advisor® designation and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, two of the most respected financial planning credentials for working with high net worth individuals, and the recognized standard of excellence in comprehensive wealth management.

Prior to joining Raymond James in 2014, Grier served as a financial advisor with SunTrust Investment Services’ Private Wealth Division, and also as an investment advisor representative at Merrill Lynch. Born and raised in Georgia, Grier earned a bachelor’s degree from Auburn University.

Grier believes in the importance of serving his community and devotes a significant portion of his free time to doing so. At Grace Church Cathedral in Charleston, he is a past member of the vestry, chair of the planned giving committee, member of the finance committee.

Grier is also actively involved with the nonprofits, Camp Happy Days, Empower Charleston, where he is the investment chair, and Operation Home. In addition, he is a past board member of Charleston Stage and a past board member of the United Way of Coastal Georgia.
