Meet Matt

My goal is for you to feel genuinely known, cared for, and confident that someone is paying attention to your entire financial life. I provide thoughtful, diligent, and candid advice grounded in what matters most to you and informed by a firsthand understanding of the pressures that can accompany your success.

You work directly with me throughout our relationship. I intentionally limit the number of clients I serve so I can give each the time, preparation, and proactive planning they deserve.

Why I founded Nadell Wealth

Nadell Wealth is the firm I wish I had during my own demanding career as a proprietary stock trader. Over 18 years, I achieved financial success, but I also experienced the stress and burnout that can accompany a high-performing career. As my family responsibilities grew, I became less willing—and less able—to sacrifice so much of myself to work. Although my wealth had created options, I lacked the time, perspective, and guidance to fully understand how to use them.

I now understand that I needed an advisor who understood those pressures firsthand and could help me see the bigger picture. Saving diligently and investing well were important, but they were not enough. I also needed a clearer vision for the future and a plan for how my career and financial resources could support a richer, more sustainable, and more fulfilling life.

I created Nadell Wealth to provide that kind of guidance. My experience helps me understand what it can feel like to appear successful from the outside while privately questioning whether your current path still fits the life you want for yourself and your family. Together, we explore what is possible, evaluate the tradeoffs, and create a plan for moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
