Hi, I'm Avanti Shetye, I'm a flat-fee and fee-only financial planner living in the DMV (Washington D.C., Maryland, & Viriginia) area. As the founder of Wealthwyzr, I serve young families all across the United States.
Before launching Wealthwyzr, I spent ten years in the financial industry managing institutional portfolios valued at over $800 million. I conducted financial and economic research across both US and international markets.
About 2 years ago, I started my YouTube channel to educate people on the basics of personal finance and investing. Many of you came to me with questions. To provide personalized financial advice tailored to your unique circumstances, I became a registered investment advisor in Maryland after passing the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ exam in 2023.
While YouTube allows me to help more people, my registered investment advisory enables me to help people more.
I have an MBA in finance from Boston University, and a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland. I also have a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) charter and completed the advanced valuation executive certificate program at NYU Stern School of Business. I live in Maryland with my husband and daughter.
I can work with you as long as you live in the United States and have internet connectivity.

This is your chance to speak with me about what you want to achieve through financial planning, and understand how I can help you achieve your goals. Think of this call as a screening interview. I look forward to speaking with you.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
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.
