Molly Phalin - Waverly Advisors

Client Service Specialist

Molly Phalin joined Waverly Advisors in November of 2025 as Client Service Specialist following the acquisition of select Promus business lines by Waverly Advisors, LLC. Molly supports clients throughout the investment process, delivering friendly, attentive service while supporting team operations.

Molly earned her B.A. in English at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Before joining Promus/Waverly, she worked as a Client Service Associate in the insurance and investment industry and later as an executive assistant to a Managing Director, where she managed day-to-day operations. Outside of work, she is always on the search for the best breakfast sandwich.

With the addition of our Promus team, Waverly Advisors gains expanded expertise in Family Office services across traditional and alternative asset classes to the firm. This collaboration strengthens Waverly’s platform for ultra-high-net-worth families while maintaining Promus’ core values of stewardship, integrity, and long-term relationship focus.

Serving with Purpose

A Culture of Connection

Waverly takes its name from a meadow of quaking aspen trees, an ecosystem where individual trees are connected by a shared root system. Since 1999, that idea has inspired our firm: strong relationships, shared values, and the belief that we are better together.

Comprehensive Wealth Management, Connected by Design

Like an aspen grove, every part of a client’s financial life is interconnected. As an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), we bring together investment management, financial planning, tax strategy, trust and estate planning, and family office services to create coordinated solutions that simplify complexity and support long-term success.

A Culture Rooted in Service

Our culture of stewardship is guided by Integrity, Family, Grace, Team, Drive, Empathy, and Community. These values shape every client relationship, every decision, and every interaction. They are the foundation that keeps our people connected and ensures a consistent, high-touch experience across the firm.

The Difference Is Our People

While many firms offer financial advice, our greatest differentiator is our people. Waverly’s advisors, planners, investment professionals, tax specialists, and support teams work together to deliver thoughtful guidance and personalized solutions. It is this collaborative approach, and our commitment to serving clients with excellence and care, that transforms financial advice into lasting relationships.
