With over 19 years of experience in financial planning and investment management, I guide families and individuals to help them focus on living their best lives by being their trusted advisor in investment management and wholistic financial planning, i.e. "Wealth Management". Without an experienced "guide", financial planning topics can be complex, abstract, and confusing. I aim to make it simple for the client and to always be prepared to back-up my advice with the numbers. Investment management takes time, knowledge, diligence, on-going oversight and an experienced, knowledgeable team. I am driven to bring my expertise to make my clients' lives easier, more fulfilling and to help them achieve their financial goals and objectives.

Matt is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter holder and Certified Financial Planner (CFP®). Matt spent the beginning of his career as the co-head of HY trading at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and before joining Bernardo Wealth Planning was the head of equity capital markets at Fortress Investment Group. After spending nearly a decade as an institutional trader Matt move into financial planning where he enjoys working with and getting to know clients. Matt currently serves as the Chief Investment Officer and financial advisor at Bernardo Wealth Planning. Matt grew up in the Philadelphia area and he and his wife, Becca, reside in Berwyn, PA.
 
					We aim to work as a team at Bernardo Wealth Planning and have specialists within each area of financial planning who all hold a CFP designation. We begin the relationship by having an introduction call to discuss the client's goals and give an overview of the firm and our process to see if we would be a good fit. Next, we would schedule an inventory meeting with our director of Financial Planning to review the client's current financial situation and talk more specifically about the client's goals. Once we have gathered the client's financial information and discussed goals, we would spend approximately 2 weeks preparing a financial plan to present to the client which can be done in person or virtually, whichever the client prefers. The financial plan covers all areas of traditional financial planning such as investments, retirement, taxes, estate planning, insurance, cash flow planning, etc. Upon presenting the financial plan and providing recommendations we would ask if the client would like to engage the firm for investment management services of their accounts.

Becoming a financial advisor helped me achieve two lifelong goals: helping others and pursuing a passion for personal finance. I proudly serve as a sounding board, educator, and expert advisor to my clients. Throughout the advisory process with my clients, I am involved in decisions about their career, business, and other personal matters. I am honored to do so, and never take my involvement in their lives for granted. The biggest reward for me comes when I am able to see my clients meet their goals - helping their grandkids pay for college, maintaining their lifestyle during retirement, having the ability to travel, and more. I have a Bachelors degree in Finance and Economics from Rutgers University and am married to my high school sweetheart. I enjoy traveling and spending time with family.
