Williams Financial Adds To Research

Dallas-based Williams Financial Group has added to its research effort with three hires. They join Patrick Fay, who was named director of sales and trading earlier this year. Fay is a 32-year veteran who joined from D.A. Davidson, where he was director of equity trading.

The additions to Williams Financial Group’s research group are William H. “Bill” Flaherty II, a 19-year veteran in equity research sales, who joins from Global Hunter Securities; Matt Beeby, a senior equity analyst, previously with Global Hunter Securities, focusing on oil field services; and David Neil Williams, an equity analyst, previously an executive at a Dallas-based home builder, who will continue to specialize in homebuilding and building products.

Flaherty reports to Fay. Beeby and Williams report to Cody Acree, director of research.
