Whether you’re just starting to plan for retirement or you’re living the dream, we're here to help you reach your financial goals.We are a Charlotte, North Carolina, wealth management firm serving the local community and beyond, focused on helping individuals—especially those age 50 and over—navigate the transition into and through retirement.
We combine comprehensive financial planning with disciplined investment management to help our clients optimize income, reduce taxes, and invest smarter. Our work starts with a deep understanding of your goals, cash flow needs, tax situation, and legacy priorities, allowing us to deliver advice that is personal, practical, and built around your life, not a generic template.
Our client experience is centered on a structured, thoughtful process designed to bring clarity and confidence to your financial decisions. We begin with a complimentary introductory call to ensure there’s a strong mutual fit, followed by a detailed analysis of your financial picture and the creation of a customized plan. Through our Business Plan for Life™, we integrate cash flow planning, tax strategy, investment positioning, and estate considerations into a cohesive roadmap that supports long-term decision-making and reduces uncertainty as retirement approaches.
When it comes to investing, we focus on building tax-efficient, diversified portfolios designed to support sustainable income throughout retirement. Our investment philosophy is grounded in academic research, discipline, and patience, not market timing or speculation. We emphasize thoughtful asset allocation, global diversification, and cost management, while continuously monitoring portfolios and making adjustments as your life circumstances and financial goals evolve.
Our firm is led by founder Todd Calamita, CFP®, whose decades of experience and fiduciary commitment guide everything we do. He is supported by a dedicated team of advisors, planning analysts, and client service professionals who share a common focus on delivering high-quality advice and responsive service.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
