Michael Fitzwilliam

Mike grew up in Canton, Massachusetts, graduating from Canton High in 1963. He graduated from Stonehill College in 1967 with a BS in accounting. His financial career includes 13 years as a Certified Public Accountant at the international accounting firm Price Waterhouse in its Boston, Providence, and New York offices. From 1980 to 1982, Mike was the vice president and comptroller for the publicly held Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), The Equitable Life Mortgage and Real Estate Investors, in Boston. After the REIT was acquired by Equitable Life, Mike joined Winthrop Financial, a Boston firm specializing in real estate limited partnerships, and worked structuring and subsequently selling those interests. Having obtained the necessary securities registrations, Mike found that he enjoyed working with individuals and small businesses and wanted to work independently to assist clients to pursue their goals.

Since 1986, Mike has continuously served his clients' interests. Fitzwilliam Financial was initially located on Congress Street in Boston on a boat on the Fort Point Channel. In 2000, Fitzwilliam Financial moved to his hometown of Canton.

Mike and his late wife, Charlene, had three children. Kerry and Nadine are both married and living in Natick and Quincy, respectively. They each have two children. Their youngest daughter, Michele, currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Mike is an avid sports enthusiast and had the thrill of attending the last two 2004 games of the Red Sox in Boston against the Yankees and the seventh game in New York that completed the improbable comeback. Unfortunately, he also had the pleasure (?) of visiting Michele in Los Angeles in October 2009 and attending the two Red Sox losses in playoff games to the Angels in Anaheim and coming home to be at the third loss in Boston, as the Red Sox were eliminated from the playoffs. He is an active golfer and has the unusual history of playing golf right-handed for more than 40 years and switching to playing left-handed since 2002. Improvement in his game occurred but there is room for much more!

Mike holds FINRA Series 7 and 63 securities registrations and is a Registered Representative with Commonwealth Financial Network^®.
