Will Perham Joins Fuchs Financial Retirement Planning Team as Associate Advisor

Will Perham has joined Fuchs Financial as an Associate Advisor, joining an experienced team of retirement planning and wealth management financial advisors with decades of experience and varied expertise. Perham brings over two decades of experience in financial services, with a career spanning life insurance, annuities, retirement planning, and advisor support.

As people move closer to retirement and increasingly begin making decisions regarding their finances and investments, it is essential to take a look at all of the options available to them to determine which would be the best fit for their own individual circumstances and priorities.

Perham began his career as a life insurance agent with American Income Life, then moved into annuity disbursements at Prudential. At MetLife, he advanced from new business to the Life Sales Desk, where he served as a Senior Internal Wholesaler until 2014. He later joined Voya, helping plan participants consolidate qualified retirement accounts into corporate plans.

Most recently, he served as a Senior Regional Director at Symmetry, partnering with advisors to grow their practices through strategic, consultative support. Through this consultative approach he assisted advisors in building customized portfolios tailored to individual client needs and helped clients navigate unique tax situations. Throughout his work, he maintained a fiduciary standard, prioritizing the best interests of clients at all times.
