Few people understand the slow and steady approach to reaching a goal better than Paul. Over the course of more than 40 years, he has made his passion into a family business

Like his brother Sam, Paul remembers the many long hours their father put into his financial practice after working a full day at school. His father’s determination inspired him to seek the kind of education that would best serve the family business.

Paul earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Finance from Albright College in 1988. In December 1991, he graduated with a Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law and was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in the spring of 1992. In 1999, he added the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification to his list of accomplishments, followed by a Certification in Long-Term Care in 2004. His latest certification came in September of 2016 earning the designation of Retirement Income Certified Professional®.

Paul began his advisory career at his father’s first firm, Wyomissing Financial Group, LLC, while attending law school. From there, he gained valuable industry insight working for a local law firm as an estate-planning attorney.

After leaving the legal profession, he worked on Wall Street as an assistant trader for an equity trading firm and then as an equity trader before rejoining his father’s practice in 1998. In 2001, he and his father launched Marrella Financial Group, LLC. Today, Paul, and his brother Sam work closely together to help clients reach goals and build legacies for their families.

After he graduated from Albright College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Sam began his financial career as an advisor with E.F. Hutton. In 1988, he became a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, and he worked his way up to the office of senior vice president – he held both positions for more than 17 years. In 1990, he earned his Certified Financial Planner™ certification and in 2005, a Certification in Long-Term Care. In October 2016, he completed his designation as a Retirement Income Certified Professional®.

Sam joined the family business in 2002 and uses his financial strengths to help his father and brother make a difference in the lives of their clients. His ultimate professional goal is to help people build a lifetime of happiness and a legacy of success.

A self-described “people person,” Sam has a passion for helping others negotiate the financial planning process so they can enjoy the rewards of wealth instead of getting caught up in its complexities.

Sam, his wife, Suzanne, and their two children attend St. Ignatius Loyola Catholic Church with their extended family. Sam is an active member of the Wilson High School Lacrosse Club and Berks County Basketball Old-Timers Association. He is also involved in community youth sports and enjoys playing basketball and golf.

For over 30 years I have led and coached high performing, winning sales organizations of all sizes in a variety of industries. I work with CEO’s, business owners and sales leaders who rely on their salesforce to expand the customer base and consistently generate profitable sales… but find that their salespeople are not always up to the task. By helping the salesforce reorganize its sales process around a defined set of activities and specific, measurable benchmarks, they can identify, qualify, and close high-quality opportunities more quickly, profitably, and consistently, even in markets where there are larger, more established firms.
