About Larry Sprung, CFP®, CEPA®
Hi, I'm Larry Sprung.Founder and Wealth Advisor at Mitlin Financial Inc®.
My mission is to help you experience JOY in your journey while creating a clear path toward your vision of tomorrow.
Financial planning isn’t about hitting a number; it’s about funding a life filled with purpose, meaning, and 𝗝𝗢𝗬.
I founded Mitlin in 2004, naming the firm in memory of my wife’s grandfather, Mitchell, and my mother, Linda, to highlight our focus on prioritizing the families we serve.
Today, I champion Mitlin’s mission, inspiring our team to serve with purpose, passion, and JOY as we grow the practice and its impact.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor® (CEPA), I work with business owners to build more valuable companies while keeping their personal, financial, and business goals aligned. My goal is to empower entrepreneurs to enJOY the journey as they move toward their ideal version of tomorrow.
Our consistent theme of JOY resonates with people who want finance delivered to them in a positive, easy-to-understand way.
The Mitlin team helps the families we serve make healthy financial decisions and offers an exceptional experience that leverages personalized service with today’s top tools and technology.
I share practical insights and inspiring stories on The JOYful Money Journey™ my signature YouTube series.
I have been fortunate to receive recognition from organizations I deeply respect, not for the sake of awards, but because it reflects the work we are doing to put families first. In 2023, RIA Intel named me Client Advocate of the Year, and in 2024, I was honored to be a Northeast Nominee for Advisor of the Year by InvestmentNews. I’ve also had the privilege of being named to the Investopedia 100 Top Advisors list in 2021, 2022, and 2023, and in 2024, I joined 24 peers as a Founding Member of the Investopedia Advisor Council all with the shared commitment to financial education.
My family is at the heart of everything I do. The desire to lead by example for my wife and sons guides how I show up in life and in work. I I am a huge ice hockey fan and still play though mostly in charity games these days.
When I am out of the office, there’s a good chance I am in one of my many t-shirts that asks: What did you do today that brought you joy?® ……. and yes people often answer it.

About Mitlin Financial, Inc.
At Mitlin Financial Inc®, we flipped the script; we don’t start with numbers, we start with what brings you JOY.Leading with JOY shifts the focus from the money itself to what the money enables: the life you want to live and your ideal vision of tomorrow.
It’s been about developing a deeply rooted partnership that extends beyond building a portfolio. Instead, we touch on every aspect of the financial lives of the families we serve.
We take pride in empowering multiple generations, including the children and grandchildren of those families. We welcome anyone who believes in the power of family-focused, independent financial advice.
The Mitlin Team is here to be your lifelong financial partner, CFO, advocate and friend.
Working side-by-side to keep you comfortable, well-educated and always in the loop about your unique financial situation, we put JOY at the forefront of financial planning.
We make financial planning personal and help guide you toward a JOY-driven path toward your ideal tomorrow.
𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗨𝗦?
We Believe in Financial Planning and JOY Should Go Hand-in-Hand
We’re dedicated to moving forward at your pace, ensuring your plans and goals evolve with you every step of the way. When you connect with us, we don’t make assumptions about who earns more, and we never judge based on your relationship status, appearance or financial situation.
Financial literacy doesn’t come naturally to most, and it certainly isn’t taught in school. That’s why we take the time to keep you aware of your options, knowledgeable about your financial plan and informed of national or world events that might impact you.
We don’t claim to know everything, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Instead, we’re here to answer your questions and support you, coordinating closely with other trusted professionals, like CPAs and attorneys.
When you become one of the families we serve, our interests are immediately aligned with yours. That means we only offer you the strategies or solutions we think will work in your best interest, move you toward your goals and bring you JOY.
We want to help you plan for the tomorrow you have always envisioned while also reminding you to enJOY the journey.

▪️Financial Planning
At Mitlin, we will work with you to craft a JOY-driven plan that evaluates your current financial situation and guides you toward your vision of an ideal tomorrow.
▪️Tax Planning
Tax impacts every aspect of your financial life. Financial planning and tax efficiency go hand-in-hand.
Whether you are looking to properly save for retirement, help improve your income tax situation, or want help with your business taxes, we can create a customized plan for you.
▪️Investment Management
Money Doesn’t Have to be Complicated.
Using a combination of the latest technology and our team of financial professionals, we regularly monitor your portfolio to ensure you are taken care of. Your plan is built for your risk tolerance.
📌 How Do I Know Which Investment Strategy Makes the Most Sense for Me?
Several factors influence the decision to choose an investment strategy.
The first set of factors begins with you. Our disciplined discovery process is crucial to determining the optimal strategy for your unique situation. Once we have the answers from you, we can begin to plan around your ideal version of tomorrow.
▪️Retirement Planning
People often think of retirement in abstract terms, far away, undefined, difficult to envision.
As a result, more people are unprepared to retire than ever before, according to the Insured Retirement Institute’s 2019 study. 45 percent of baby boomers haven’t put a single penny toward their own retirement.
Want to find out how prepared you are for retirement right now?
We have a quiz for that!

Working with Jorrell Bland, Wealth Advisor with Mitlin Financial, has been nothing short of exceptional. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Jorrell brings a rare combination of deep financial expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients’ long-term success.
Jorrell takes the time to truly understand your goals, risk tolerance, and personal circumstances. He explains strategies clearly—never overselling, never rushing—just thoughtful, tailored guidance that inspires confidence. His ability to break down complex financial topics into simple, actionable plans is remarkable.
What sets Jorrell apart most is his consistency. He follows up proactively, keeps you informed, and ensures every decision aligns with your broader financial vision. Whether it’s retirement planning, investment management, or navigating market changes, Jorrell delivers insight and clarity every step of the way.
I trust Jorrell wholeheartedly with my financial future, and I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional wealth advisor.

I can’t say enough good things about Jorrell Bland and the entire team at Mitlin Financial! I’ve been working with Jorrell for about a year now, and when I first came to him, my biggest struggle was managing debt. He went above and beyond to create a clear, realistic plan that fits my goals and lifestyle. Jorrell is professional, transparent, and genuinely passionate about helping his clients succeed. It’s rare to find someone who combines deep expertise with such a personal touch. I truly couldn’t have done it without him — highly recommend!

Excellent experience with the Mitlin Financial team! I have been working with Jorrell who has been absolutely fantastic in getting me set up to achieve my financial goals. From the beginning, they gathered my financial info, linked my accounts to their online platform, met with me to review my goals and what I wanted to get out of our partnership, and developed a personalized plan for me. Jorrell is a great advisor to work with; he is enthusiastic, passionate about his role, and really took the time to ask questions and understand my personal goals. It was very easy to get my accounts moved over and managed by them, the online platform is great and I love the data/dashboards. I appreciate the 1:1 attention, it's great to be part of the Mitlin family!

My husband and I recently began working with Jorrell and Mitlin Financial. We knew we needed a change from our previous advisor and took quite some time vetting other firms before partnering with Mitlin Financial. Jorrell has taken the time to get to know us and understand our current financial goals and the goals we have for the future. He and his team have worked hard putting together a financial portfolio that works for us. Along with that, Jorrell has created a financial plan for retirement that sets us both at ease. We can't express how much JOY this brings us. A great big thank you goes out to Jorrell and the entire Mitlin Financial team!

I have known Larry Sprung for over 40 years. We went to grammar and high school together. Although we lost touch for a couple of decades, I was drawn to his energetic appearances all over social media. He had developed a skill set, talent and accreditation in a field I was in need of guidance in. Kick starting our relationship on a new level was exciting for two reasons…I had a true understanding of where “he came from” and the type of person he was…and still is. Larry puts his heart into everything he does, both professionally and in his personal life. A true family man, who is eager to help others and their families achieve financial success. It has been a real JOY for me to be reconnected, but not because of the financial planning, but rather Larry and the Mitlin team are the type of folks I like to be around. Hard working honest people who strive to do what they do, the best they can, so those they serve can achieve wonderful things.

"Thank you so very much" is an absolute understatement.
The gratitude and immense amount of thanks to Larry, Jorelle, Carmen, and the entire Mitlin Financial team is truly unmeasurable. The entire Mitlin teams efforts in helping us navigate through this next chapter of our lives have been nothing short of an undertaking. The confusions and fears of the unknown on our parts have always been handled with a level of understanding, patience, and kindness, which has been incredible. The Mitlin team always find their ways of making it all seem so simple and put our minds at ease with every next call, text, email, and meeting. The personal attention to every last detail (and there have been MANY) from such an Incredible Advisor and listener over the last several years (as well as the many years before now for my Parents as well) is always handled with respects, kindness and professionalism on a level unto its own. The constant help provided to us (even when we didn't know something needed our attention) put things into perspective and has prepared us for great things in the future.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Mitlin Financial is the best place to go for any financial advice. Larry and Jorrell are both fantastic to work with. They helped find life insurance policies for my spouse and I. They were able to help me navigate the amount of coverage needed based on my financial profile and future financial goals. They then shopped around for me and found a better premium than I ever expected!
They truly put their client’s needs first. They will give you honest advice and expect nothing in return. They just want you to be set up for everything you and your family needs.
I highly recommend using Mitlin and hope to do more business with them in the future!

I wanted to post a sincere client review of Mitlin. I scouted for over a year for a firm to help us with retirement planning and general financial advice. Most of my encounters before Mitlin were pretty dissatisfying. We were just a number, adding to a firm’s overall portfolio. But Mitlin is different. Every senior person at Mitlin has taken time with us. They listen and work on YOUR goals. No question goes unanswered. That’s the best part. No matter how big or small a client you might be. We started out very small and were able to grow with Mitlin. We got the best service from day 1. They really care and take pride in client service.

I have been a client of Mitlin Financial since 2011 and would highly recommend their services. Larry and his team deliver truly professional financial planning services and put their clients ’interests first. I did not really understand the role of a fiduciary until I worked with Larry. He works with integrity and provides sound financial advice and guidance. Mitlin has assisted me with some complex financial issues, and I have been more than happy with the results. So much so that I have entrusted Larry to guide all three of my kids as they enter their careers & life in their 20s. Larry is a pleasure to deal with and I have no hesitation in recommending Mitlin’s services with complete trust.

I have been dealing with Larry and his company Mitlin Financial for 20+ years and consider him to be honest, trustworthy and reliable. He has advised and assisted me with my financial planning in regard to retirement planning , insurance and estate planning. I find him to be EXTREMELY knowledgeable and always has great insight and understanding in regard to what and why markets change and evaluates what direction appears best for his client’s individual needs. I would highly recommend Larry and his company Mitlin Financial for all retirement planning needs.

I have been working with Larry/Mitlin Financial for several years, and I couldn’t be happier. He and his staff are professional, responsive, and just great to work with. We speak regularly about my my financial goals and the best way to achieve them. When there are fluctuations in the market, Larry is quick to put out a calming email explaining what happened and to offer his time to discuss any concerns. I highly recommend Larry and Mitlin Financial.

John and I highly suggest Lawrence Sprung as our investment group. We were introduced by an accountant we were working with over 12 years ago.
We're like family. Always there for me especially when I see the market crashing. He always assures us that he is on top of the market along with his whole team.
I haven’t heard of any other investment group that sends our emails the day of to make us aware why the market is dropping and assure us they are always working to keep thing’s positive.
I’ve referred Larry to family members and friends.

Larry is one of the most supportive people I know. Although I’m sure he is busy running a family and a business, he is always available for questions and explanations. Larry and team make me feel like I’m their only client and apply their vast knowledge and experiences in a very personalized way.
I recently went through a major financial milestone and Larry was with me every step of the way – ranging from keen financial advice all the way to filling out paperwork to help me with the administration. In those situations, every little bit helps and I would not have made it through with my sanity without Larry and Mitlin Financial.

Larry is a true professional. He is not just about selling you individual products. He has a big picture plan based on your goals and objectives and is very selective in who he works with. I have found him to be a great source of information and someone i can completely rely on. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to ensure their future.
