Mercer Advisors, Inc. (“Mercer Advisors”), a national wealth management and financial planning firm, today announced that Rebecca (Becki) Iacopelli, MT, CFP®, CFA, has joined the firm’s New York City office as a Senior Wealth Advisor in the Regis division. Becki has been in the advisory space for over 13 years, serving high and ultra-high net worth families across generations and disciplines. Her addition further enhances Mercer Advisors’ ability to deliver comprehensive, planning-first wealth management services for clients across New York City and Long Island, one of the firm’s fastest-growing markets.
She joins a dedicated group of senior advisors focused on delivering a ‘single family office’ experience to the firm’s most complex clients through the firm’s Regis offering. This offering is typically most appropriate for families with $25+ million in investable assets and ranging to over $1B+
Becki joins from Wescott Financial Advisory Group, where she served as a Senior Financial Advisor and worked with some of the firm’s largest and most complex family office relationships. Earlier in her career, she held financial advisory roles at Aviance Capital Partners and Main Street Financial Life Advisors. Through her real-world experience and advanced designations, she works closely with families to execute strategic, integrated planning, delivering a family-CFO level of service. Serving as the central point of coordination across a family’s financial universe, she translates the complexities of their wealth, tax and estate structures, family dynamics, and long-term objectives into a tailored, high touch strategy. She holds a Master of Taxation with a concentration in estate planning from Villanova’s Charles Widger School of Law and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Rutgers University.
“We are excited to have Becki on our team. She is technically sharp, genuinely invested in the families she serves, and comfortable navigating the most complex planning conversations,” said Paul Oliva, Managing Partner, New York City, Mercer Advisors. “Becki’s experience across tax and estate strategy complements our integrated approach to wealth management, and her commitment to mentoring and developing other advisors will benefit our entire office.”
Becki’s background aligns with Mercer Advisors’ family office model, which provides clients with access to specialized expertise across financial planning, investment management, tax, estate, insurance and trustee services. This coordinated approach is designed to reduce the complexity and fragmentation associated with managing financial matters across multiple providers, helping families to amplify and simplify their financial lives.
Becki outlines, “The family office, concierge-level service model at Mercer Advisors, supported by robust institutional resources with a deeply client-first culture, aligns deeply with how I engage with clients. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work at firms with strong cultures and an unwavering commitment to clients, and I found those same values at Mercer Advisors. What further distinguished Mercer Advisors was the ability to bring tax and estate practitioners into the same coordinated team, enabling greater integration across disciplines. For ultra-high-net-worth families, that level of integration can make a meaningful difference in how effectively complex plans are designed and executed. This ability to even increase my level of offering to clients who have increasingly complex needs was particularly attractive.”
Mercer Advisors’ Path to Partnership program further underscores its commitment to creating an environment where advisors can build rewarding, long-term careers. Through opportunities for equity ownership, the program fosters a shared sense of responsibility for the firm’s success, encouraging collaboration, accountability and a long-term perspective. More than half of Mercer Advisor employees are equity owners, reflecting a culture in which team members are invested in the firm’s continued growth and the clients they serve. Becki notes, “Mercer Advisors’ commitment to employee ownership reflects a long-term investment and commitment to their people and culture, which I strongly value.”

Buy Side analyzed some of the largest and best-known independent registered investment adviser (RIA) firms and scored those firms based on their fees, advisor credentials, customer support, available services, portfolio construction and account minimum. These factors were weighted based on WSJ reader surveys regarding what they considered most important when choosing an advisor. Prioritized, were firms that have a client base of 50% or more HNWIs according to their most recent Form ADV filing. To be considered a top financial advisor for high-net-worth individuals, a firm has to offer comprehensive wealth management services. Firms were rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars using a weighted scoring model out of 100 possible points. A 5-star rating represents top performance relative to the field, rather than a requirement to achieve a theoretical perfect score of 100.
