With more than 35 years in the financial services industry, Hilary is highly knowledgeable and experienced in a wide range of financial matters and market environments. Her ongoing mission has always been to make a positive and enduring difference in her clients' lives, guiding them in establishing and pursuing realistic financial goals, simplifying their finances and fostering confidence in investing.
"We measure our success not only by the services we provide and the performance of the strategies we create, but also by the lives we enable our clients to lead," Hilary says. While her clients come from all walks of life, she places a particular emphasis on serving women investors of all ages and small business owners and their specific needs, from cash management to retirement plan consulting.
Hilary holds the professional designations of Retirement Income Certified Professional® and Accredited Investment Fiduciary®. She follows a fiduciary standard throughout the financial planning engagement, placing her clients' interests ahead of her own when providing professional services. To support her objective of providing truly comprehensive wealth management, she expands her own extensive capabilities by collaborating with Raymond James professionals in key areas such as banking, insurance and trust services.
Attentive and compassionate, Hilary communicates with her clients in a clear, direct and easy-to-understand manner, listening to what is going on in their lives and advising them on the risk/return tradeoffs of their investment portfolios and retirement spending plans.
Having her son, Frank, on the team as a financial advisor enables them to engage in a more personal understanding of family relationships and multigenerational planning in their work. Hilary and her team set aside time each day to stay up to date on what is going on in the financial markets and new in the industry. "While we tend to be analytical, we are also creative in thinking outside the box for clients to address often-complex financial situations," Hilary says.
Hilary established Seabrook Wealth Management of Raymond James in 2010.

Outside of work, Hilary serves as president of Summer Camps at College Settlement in Horsham, Pennsylvania, an organization dedicated to shaping the lives of young people by instilling respect for self, others and the natural world.
