About Me
“Retire from your job, not from living your life” is Holly Simeone’s approach to retirement planning.Crafting individualized financial strategies, Holly partners with clients who are nearing retirement or recently retired to help them secure their financial future. She specializes in estate planning and takes pride in helping blended families navigate tough decisions about how to structure their estates, something that may otherwise cause families a lot of anxiety.
Holly’s story begins with a job in the trust sector of banking and investments, where her everyday interactions with local customers revealed the lack of resources and financial education in our community. This revelation set her on the path to becoming a financial advisor.
Holly's very first act as a licensed financial advisor at BMM was to launch an educational community outreach program for anyone who wants financial help, regardless of age or income: Open Office Hours. Holly also supports community education as a member of the Thursday Morning Club of Great Barrington and continues her own education and professional development as a member of the Berkshire County Estate Planning Council.
Originally from the Worcester area, Holly enjoys exploring the Berkshires and learning more about the place she now calls home. In her free time, she enjoys reading, practicing yoga, and hiking with her black lab, Milo, and her husband, Adam. They also enjoy golfing and eating at the many amazing restaurants here in the Berkshires.

I have had the pleasure of working with Holly for several Years at BMM.
She is knowledgeable, proficient and always does her very best to support me.
Holly always goes the extra mile to assist with updates, and any question I may have for her.
Having a compassionate and kind representative has made all the difference for me!

I have been with BMM, for just over two years, and I am extremely happy that I made the switch. Holly Simione, has always returned calls or emails quickly. Holly has answered and explained things that I didn’t understand, even if it took me a couple tries to understand, with patience.
When my dad passed, I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers, from BMM. This to me was so thoughtful, and made me realize, I am not just an account.
When I had invested my money with other investment firms previously, I never received a call to check in and see if I wanted to have an appointment to review my account.
I know that I made the right choice transferring my investments to BMM.

I have been involved with Berkshire Money Management for just over a year. My experience has been excellent. The management of my finances has been profitable but the relationships and trust that I have established give me comfort in knowing that it is not just my finances being managed but also my families well being. They are local people who care about their neighbors.
Peter Coughlin and Holly Simeone have been very attentive and helpful with any and all questions and concerns I have had.
I look forward to continuing my successful relationship with the entire crew at BMM.

Jared Reinstein from BMM manages my portfolio, and he does it well. He is very knowledgeable, and I can call him with questions at any time. I know and believe he has my best interests in mind. I am definitely treated like a person and not just an account at BMM.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
