About Alex Koynoff
Hi, I'm Alex Koynoff, a Financial Advisor located in Oswego, IL, serving clients nationwide.I have been in financial services for over 16 years, with the majority spent supporting large institutions with financial reporting and accounting for their complex investment portfolios, such as pensions, 401k, insurance general accounts, university foundations and endowments.
I have brought my professional experience into the personal finance space, which gives me the opportunity to help individuals plan for their financial future.
📖 My Personal Financial Journey:
I have been managing our family's personal financial blueprint for over 10 years. After reading the book "The Millionaire Next Door", it gave me a glimpse of what planning and a goal can do. That really kicked the financial planning to the next level.
Within eight years of creating and sticking with our plan (and adjusting along the way), we reached our first milestone and became a statistic in "The Millionaire Next Door". The achievement only strengthened my interest in personal finance, the power of financial planning and how it can help so many. It all started with a goal, education, and continuous planning.
💡 Why I decided to start my own Financial Planning firm:
In 2021, I was asked by a close family member to review their finances as they wanted to retire in the near future.
It was an eye-opening experience. Unfortunately, due to the lack of education and support, their 401k was not utilized appropriately, using inappropriate funds, in addition to multiple loan distributions during the majority of a multi-decade working career. That one mistake alone caused them to miss a substantial amount of additional retirement funds. Further, as they never had a plan, their financial house needed repair, with unpaid consumer debt, no strategy of appropriate distribution of their investments and overall, a series of many poor financial decisions over the last couple of decades. Needless to say, that was a huge miss that could have been prevented with proactive planning.
That was the sign that I needed, and I knew what I had to do. It led me to start ATK Financial Prosperity with the mission to educate first and help you map out your financial journey.
Personal finance is a crucial part of your overall well-being. Good financial habits and decisions are something we should practice on a continuous basis.

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.
