Brian Wells will join the firm’s Marin County, California, office as managing director and financial advisor. He’s joined in the move by an investment associate, Stephanie Neri. While Wells moved to California from Boston a year ago, Neri is still based in Boston.

According to a statement, Wells focuses on providing each client with financial planning that fits their needs and goals.

At RBC Wealth Management, he and Stephanie will mesh perfectly with our firm’s fierce focus on the client-advisor relationship,” Michael Schipper, Northern California complex director at RBC, said in the statement.
