Mark Merski is a tax accountant and self-employed business owner who has been working in the industry since 2005. Mark joined his father’s practice in 2007 after graduating with a finance degree from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in taxation from Walsh College. He went on to take over the business and expand it to what it is today. Mark grew up in Northville and attended Catholic Central High School. He bought a home in Northville three years ago and currently resides there.
His expertise is individual tax preparation and small business accounting. Mark delivers a unique style of tax preparation often not seen in the industry. The client sits down across from him at the table while the tax return is actually prepared. The client comes in with their paperwork and leaves with a finished product. This approach ensures a timely, efficient, cost-effective savings to both parties.
Mark recently merged with a partner and is going to be expanding his practice again. His father Terry Williams, who originally founded Wisley & Williams – the current firm Mark is managing, still works with him to this day. Mark has learned a level of personal service from working alongside his father and transitioning into running a tax practice with more than 500 individual tax clients.

Our team is dedicated to providing the best quality financial planning and tax services possible, as we understand that ultimately our success depends on the financial success of our clients. We hold the firm belief that if an individual does not know where they are financially at the present moment, it will be impossible for them to know where they are headed in the future. Because of this, our practice schedules periodic review meetings in order to ensure our advisers are actively involved in our clients financial lives, giving them the correct advice to handle present situations and work together on continuing long term financial goals.
As a financial planning firm that individuals trust their financial lives and futures to, we are obligated to be in a fiduciary capacity with our clients. Because this is a massive responsibility, we have three fundamental principles that serve as a foundation for everything our firm does – Trust, Integrity and Respect.
Trust is vital for any business relationship, especially ones involving advisory services. Effective management of investments requires years of real world experience and knowledge, which is the foundation of our relationship with clients. We listen to our clients and deliver customized guidance for any economic situation, instead of simply offering a generic solution. This differentiates us from most other financial planning and tax firms that are unable or unwilling to provide personalized services.
Integrity is absolutely essential for any professional, especially those who work in the financial and tax industry. With so much riding on the line, it is imperative that the financial adviser you are working with has a strong moral character and strives to be fair, honest and transparent with clients, even if it is not in the firm’s best interest at that particular moment. We always strive to offer advice and guidance that is first and foremost in the clients best interest, as this builds trust and ultimately is the foundation for the long term success of all parties involved.
Respect is key to being able to understand client needs clearly and accurately, as well as ensuring the most productive use of resources when working together. We treat our clients as family, never imposing unfair or harsh judgement on an individual’s past financial mistakes or mishaps. Our clients’ success is our mission, and listening to their needs and goals for the future without judgement is the best way to gather the right information needed to give accurate guidance for their future.
