Richard E. Perry, Jr., AIF®
Founder, Financial Advisor
For more than 25 years, Rick has been providing individuals, families and businesses with personalized, comprehensive financial products and services.
He began his career in financial services at Smith Barney in Danvers, Massachusetts in 1998. His desire to provide clients with superior products and services in a friendly and caring environment led Rick to join Clippership Financial Services, a subsidiary of Salem Five Bank of Salem, Massachusetts. During his 4½-year tenure as a vice president at Clippership Financial, he also served as a mentor with the Peabody Education Council to high school seniors interested in pursuing a career in finance. In 2004, Rick accepted the position of vice president at Bank of America Investment Services in North Reading, Massachusetts. Always striving to provide each of his clients with more comprehensive and personalized service, Rick moved his practice to Topsfield, Massachusetts, in early 2006, where he served as an independent investment advisory representative of Commonwealth Financial Network®. In 2024, Rick founded Thornhill Financial Services to offer a full suite of financial services to families, individuals, and business owners who desire a one-on-one relationship with their financial advisor.
Rick holds the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation; FINRA Series 7, 63, and 65 licenses, and Massachusetts life and health insurance licenses.
Rick and his wife, Robin, live in Gloucester, Massachusetts. In addition to spending time with their local family members, they enjoy traveling to LA to visit their son as often as time allows. He also enjoys playing golf and tennis, going to concerts, and traveling.
