About Avanti Shetye, MBA, CFA, CFP®

I know managing money can feel overwhelming—there’s so much advice out there, and it’s hard to know what actually applies to you. That’s where I come in.

I’m a fee-only, advice-only financial planner and the founder of Wealthwyzr, LLC, where I help retirees, pre-retirees, and young families make sense of their finances, build wealth, and plan for the future—without all the sales pitches or confusing jargon.

Before becoming a financial planner, I spent several years as an electrical engineer—so problem-solving and attention to detail are second nature to me. After earning my MBA in finance from Boston University, I went on to manage an $800 million portfolio for a large institution for about a decade. But I realized I wanted to help real people with their money, not just big corporations. That’s what led me to financial planning—where I get to simplify complex financial decisions and help families build lasting wealth.

I got into financial planning because I’ve seen too many people second-guess their money decisions, worried they’re doing something wrong. The truth is, you don’t need to be a finance expert to build a great life—you just need a solid plan and the right guidance. That’s what I love helping people with.

My approach is straightforward and judgment-free—whether you’re getting ready to retire, juggling multiple goals, or just want to know if you’re on the right track, I’m here to make it easier.
