Aaron Buczek

North Atlantic Investment Partners LLC
Group Leader

As a financial advisor with Raymond James, I focus on understanding what matters most to each client before developing personalized investment strategies. By aligning your goals with a thoughtful, long-term approach, I aim to provide clarity and confidence in every financial decision.

Supported by the client-first philosophy of Raymond James and a dedicated team, I help individuals and families navigate key priorities such as education planning, tax-efficient investing, and retirement preparation.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Bentley University and an MBA from the University of Massachusetts Boston.

I live in Norfolk, Massachusetts with my wife, Allary, and our two daughters, Saxin and Ilex. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly through outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking, as well as golfing.

I am committed to making a positive impact and look forward to helping clients pursue their financial goals with confidence.
