  Timothy DAVIS, CFP®

  Partner, Executive Managing Director, and Wealth Manager

  With more than 25 years in the industry, Tim has performed every major role in the practice, from fund selection to performance analyses. As the founder and CEO of Davis Executive Wealth Management, he oversees business development for the practice and continually builds new relationships with clients. He specializes in asset allocation and management, and his goal is to help successful executives and business owners maximize their wealth for growth and security. He’s witnessed the truth of the adage, “Concentration creates wealth; diversification preserves it,” and he helps clients safeguard newfound wealth by balancing their portfolios in such a way that leverages their company stock opportunities without creating an unbalanced reliance on it. As one of the first financial professionals to write a 10b5-1 plan, he has vast experience navigating complex compensation plans, and he’s adept at helping executives design stronger, more stable plans. Tim works closely with driven corporate executives who want to delegate their financial planning responsibilities to an experienced professional. As a driven entrepreneur, he understands their busy lifestyle and desire to make highly efficient, competent decisions. So whether a client wants to understand the intricacies of their plan or receive a high-level summary, his goal is to guide them through the process with relevant education so they can make wise decisions in line with their goals. It’s essential to Tim that his clients understand what the Davis team is doing for them, why they’ve chosen each approach, and all the options and opportunities within their plan. Once they’ve established a firm understanding, he makes the process as simple as possible for the client, taking the bulk of the planning duties off their plate so they can focus on their careers and families. A relentless learner, Tim is constantly looking for ways to grow and improve his practice. Not only do he and his team provide an elevated level of client service, but he specifically pursues education so he can provide relevant, insightful information that enhances his clients’ plans. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and he has devoted ample time to studying a variety of financial planning disciplines. He is also a dedicated student of the economy, monitoring financial trends to maintain a keen understanding of macro and micro market environments. He was named a Best-In-State Wealth Advisor by Forbes each year from 2019-2024, and has received the Five Star Wealth Manager award four times. In 2021 and 2022, he was Steward Partners’ top advisor for asset and revenue growth, respectively.

  Michaelyn D. Bortolotti

  Partner, Vice President, and Wealth Manager

  As Davis’s acting COO, there isn’t much that doesn’t pass through Michaelyn’s hands. In addition to conducting client reviews and meetings alongside Tim, she oversees all the financial planning and manages internal workflow for the practice. With her superior organizational skills, she makes sure everything is in the right place at the right time for both our clients and our team members. Some of her duties include preparing documents for meetings, maintaining client reports, managing clients’ cashflow, organizing our calendar, and educating clients about their planning strategies. She takes pride in the fact that nothing goes unnoticed or forgotten within the practice, and she strives to complete every task with efficiency and excellence. While she is an expert at organizing financial plans, Michaelyn is first and foremost a friend and confidant to our clients. She spends ample time getting to know each person and their family, and she becomes their first line of support when it comes to financial questions or concerns. She loves building long-term relationships, and she never shies away from “face time” with the people she serves. She frequently travels out of state (and internationally) to meet with clients, ensuring they feel completely confident about their plan and their future. Her goal is to give our clients total peace of mind, and she does so by being available for them whenever they need. Like Tim, Michaelyn has spent her entire career in the financial industry. An economics major at Colby College, she completed an internship at LPL Financial and later joined Legg Mason in October 2005. In 2009, she partnered with Tim, and together they have grown the practice to one of the most productive and successful firms in the region.
