About Me
Matt Bonito grew up in Lima, Ohio, was blessed with the opportunity to attend Michigan State University, obtain a degree in Merchandising Management and play football. Having been coached by a great coach, Matt learned the importance of hard-work, perseverance and having a game-plan.Matt has been in the investment industry since 2002 in various roles and has worked hard to provide the best advice to his clients. From 2003 to 2014, Matt learned much through running his own financial planning business. Always striving to continue learning and further education, Matt obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in 2012. In 2014 Matt was blessed with the opportunity to work for a great financial advisor which helped him hone his skills and processes.
Feeling led to make a difference and fight back against the unsettling changes we all have been facing, in 2021, Matt partnered with Inspire Advisors. Matt believes everyone should have a strong game-plan and should be able to have investments that align with their values.

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.
