About Evan Luongo, CFP®

You make good money. But you still lie awake thinking about it.

Maybe it's the loans you haven't tackled. The cash sitting in your account doing nothing. The retirement you keep meaning to plan for but never quite get to. Or just the general feeling that you should have your act together by now, but life keeps getting in the way.

That feeling has a name: financial stress. And it has nothing to do with how much you earn.

Here's the truth... Most high earners don't have a money problem. They have a clarity problem.

No one ever showed them what a real plan looks like. Your parents' financial advisor? They haven't spoken to you in a year... So the accounts pile up, the decisions get delayed, and the anxiety quietly compounds, right alongside the income.

That's the exact knot I untangle.

Together, we get everything on the table, your income, your debt, your goals, your vision, your timeline. Then we build a system so simple you stop second-guessing every financial decision you make.

No more wondering if you're on track. No more guilt about spending. No more "I'll figure it out later."

Just clarity. And a plan that actually fits your life.

I'm Evan Luongo, CFP®, founder of NoDa Wealth. Before I started my firm I served as a Regional Director at Dimensional Fund Advisors, where I spent nearly 8 years working with some of the country's top financial advisors.

I started NoDa Wealth because I wanted to bring that same level of planning directly to busy families and retirees, people who are winning at life but just need someone to make the financial piece feel less overwhelming.

If that's you, I'd love to connect.

About NoDa Wealth Management

Most financial firms were built for people with time on their hands.

You're not that person.

You're managing a career, a family, a mortgage, a handful of accounts you barely look at, and a to-do list that never gets shorter. The last thing you need is a financial advisor who speaks in jargon, buries you in paperwork, and meets with you once a year to tell you everything's fine.

NoDa Wealth was built differently.

We work exclusively with busy families and retirees who are ready to stop feeling behind and start feeling in control. That means a real plan, not a generic one, built around your income, your goals, your timeline, and the life you're actually living.

What working with us looks like:
🗂️ We start with your whole picture
Income, debt, spending, goals, accounts. Everything on the table. No assumptions. No guesswork.
📋 We build a plan that's actually yours
Not a template. Not one-size-fits-all. A clear, personalized roadmap you can understand and act on.
🔄 We stay in your corner
Life changes. Your plan changes with it. We're not a set-it-and-forget-it firm. We're a relationship.
✅ We're fiduciaries. Always.

That means we're legally and ethically required to put your interests first. No commissions. No conflicts. Just advice that's built for you.
Born in NoDa. Built for wherever you are.

NoDa Wealth is rooted in NoDa, the creative, tight-knit neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina that inspired everything about how we work. Independent. Straightforward. A little different by design.

But our clients are everywhere. We work with busy families and retirees across the U.S., entirely virtually, so geography is never a barrier to getting a great plan.

We’ve loved working with Evan so far. From day one, he’s been incredibly intentional about building a real relationship with us and taking the time to deeply understand both our goals and our situation. That alone has made the entire process feel easy and tailored, not transactional. What sets Evan apart is that he’s not just a financial planner. He’s become a true thought partner in how we think about money, decisions, and long-term planning. He brings clarity to complex topics, challenges our thinking in the right ways, and helps us move forward with confidence. If you’re looking for someone who is sharp, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your life, not just your portfolio, Evan is the person you want in your corner.

NoDa Wealth Management is truly exceptional. Evan’s intelligence, clear communication, and deep industry knowledge made financial planning not only approachable but also empowering for me as a young professional. His expertise spans a wide range of areas, from budgeting to retirement planning, and even managing Restricted Stock Units. Evan’s professionalism, experience, and thoughtful approach have been apparent since the first day I became a client. For anyone looking to navigate financial planning, I wholeheartedly recommend NoDa Wealth Management.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Evan professionally and I can tell you he is an incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable financial planner. He has a gift for breaking down information into clear and actionable steps that clients can actually understand. If you are looking for a fiduciary financial advisor in Charlotte, North Carolina, especially someone who knows wealth management inside and out, I highly recommend Evan and his team at Noda Wealth Management.

We just started working with Evan of NoDa Wealth Management, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience so far. Financial planning has always felt overwhelming to me and my partner, but he has managed to turn it into something we genuinely look forward to. He’s incredibly patient and flexible, and what really stands out is his ability to explain complex financial concepts in a way that actually makes sense. He’s helped us think through things we hadn’t even considered before, and we’re already feeling more confident and in control. Grateful to have found him!

I can't say enough good things about Evan! From our initial consultation to our more in-depth financial meetings where we get into the nuts & bolts, you can immediately feel his passion and personality shine through. I was looking for someone who was extremely hands-on and thorough with my finances (my retirement especially), and was able to listen closely to my needs and input as we moved along. I've worked with other advisors that basically just collect a fee for investing your money and that's about it. Evan shows you EXACTLY what he's going to do, WHY he's going to do it, and HOW it's going to affect you in various situations. He's a huge asset to me and is an incredible team member. I've already referred him to many of my close friends and family and will continue to do so. If you need an advisor, or just someone to take a look at your situation - Evan is your guy!! 10/10

Evan was very professional, friendly and timely in helping me square away start a 529 college savings plan and setting up my 401k investments. We did all my consults virtually which made scheduling convenient. My job's default 401k had higher interest rates and hidden fees; I am thankful he found a smarter investment option to maximize my compounded wealth. As a busy professional, I feel relieved knowing my finances are squared away with Evan's expert guidance. Highly recommend.

I’ve had an outstanding experience with NoDa Wealth Management. From the beginning, Evan has been knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping my husband and me achieve our financial goals. Evan took the time to understand our situation and created a personalized strategy that aligned with both our short-term needs and long-term vision. What stood out most was his transparency and the way he explained complex financial concepts in a clear, approachable way. I feel much more confident about my financial future thanks to Evan’s expertise and guidance. I highly recommend Evan with NoDa Wealth Management for anyone looking for trusted, professional wealth management support!

Disclosure: Sarah reached out for help. We agreed we did not need to enter into a relationship at this time. I helped her think through her 401(k) and 529 by answering general questions.

I recently became a client of NoDa Wealth Management, and I honestly couldn't feel better about it. Evan is great. Since I’m a business owner with income that fluctuates, it means the world to have someone I trust this deeply managing my money and helping me plan for the future. Evan not only knows his stuff inside and out: he LIVES it. He leads by example with how intentional and balanced he is in his own life. I feel so much more confident about my financial future knowing he’s in my corner. If you’re looking for someone who’s not just smart and experienced but genuinely cares about your well-being, I can't recommend Evan and NoDa Wealth Management enough!
