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.

📌 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!

Volunteer Experience
▪️Member of the Investopedia Advisory Council - an editorially-selected group of independent US-based financial advisors who showcase a commitment to making financial education more accessible for all. ▪️ A member of the Kiplinger Advisor Intel network - a curated network of trusted financial professionals that share expert insights on wealth building and preservation. ▪️Forbes Advisor Board Member, I advise on content and support Forbes' mission to help consumers choose the best personal finance products and services for their needs. 🔹 As a FinServ Foundation Mentor, I help students understand what being a financial advisor could look like and how the profession serves people through six months of mentorship, peer community, and real-world coaching. 💚 Losing my brother-in-law, Keith Milano, to suicide in 2004 was a life-changing moment that inspired me to become a mental health advocate. The shock of his passing and the journey of understanding mental health inspired my family to take action. Together, we’ve raised over $1.8 million through the Keith Milano Memorial Fund for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). I spent over 12 years on the National Board for AFSP. In 2019, my work in the mental health space earned me a spot as a finalist for the Invest in Others Community Service Award.

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.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
