Matt Mikula’s love of problem-solving and helping people is what first attracted him to the financial planning industry.  While that continues to drive him today, building trusting client relationships and seeing people live a full life is what has become the most rewarding for him. Drawing on more than 20 years of wealth management experience, Matt helps his clients filter the constant “noise” about current events and market news to keep them focused on their personal goals and the best strategies to accomplish them. By educating his clients about their options, he helps give them confidence and peace of mind that they are heading in the right direction.

Matt is particularly adept at helping families affected by divorce transition to the next phase of their lives. He finds that parents are often so focused on making sure that their children manage through this difficult transition, they may overlook their own financial well-being. Matt projects out future cash flow needs to demonstrate how the division of marital assets will impact life following a divorce. By performing this type of planning earlier in the case, Matt can help his clients make better financial decisions for themselves throughout the process.
