What if your financial advisor cared as deeply about your personal happiness as they do your finances?
What if every planning conversation started with a simple question:
“What did you do today that brought you JOY?”®
At Mitlin Financial, that’s not just a conversation starter—it’s a guiding principle.
We are thrilled to share some JOY of our own:
Larry Sprung, Founder and Wealth Advisor at Mitlin Financial, has been recognized as part of the inaugural class of Wealthtender Voice of the Client™ Highly Rated Advisors.
This is not just another industry accolade.
It’s a meaningful reflection of what matters most—what the families we serve experience.
“By acknowledging the importance of online reviews in the decision-making process of consumers preparing to hire trust-based professionals, Wealthtender’s Voice of the Client Awards are redefining what it means to be a top financial advisor in today’s relationship-driven advice industry,”
— Brian Thorp, Wealthtender founder and CEO
“We’re thrilled to recognize these award winners for their superior client reviews and excited to elevate the visibility of advisors of all sizes truly making a difference in the lives of their clients.”
— Thorp
Recognition That Speaks From the Heart
Unlike awards based on firm size or assets under management, the Wealthtender Voice of the Client Awards™ are rooted in something far more authentic: client feedback.
To earn this recognition, advisors must achieve an average review score of 4.75 or higher (out of 5), from verified clients with no material conflicts of interest.
Larry’s inclusion is a testament to the trust and connection he has cultivated… one review at a time.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Choosing a financial advisor is a deeply personal decision.
“The SEC Marketing Rule opened the door for greater transparency in our profession. At Mitlin, we see that as an opportunity—not just to build trust through the feedback of those we serve, but to reinforce our belief that the voices of the families we serve should always lead the way.”
— Larry Sprung, CFP®
In this environment, awards like these aren’t just celebratory—they’re empowering.
They help families, individuals, and business owners make confident, informed decisions rooted in the voices of those we serve. That’s powerful.
JOY as a Financial Philosophy
At Mitlin Financial, we flipped the script.
We don’t start with balance sheets—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.
Because financial planning isn’t about hitting a number; it’s about funding a life filled with purpose, meaning, and JOY.
Being named a Highly Rated Advisor isn’t the goal—
it’s the result of years of commitment to something bigger:
fostering deep, meaningful relationships that prioritize JOY.
A Note of Gratitude
To every family who shared their experience, offered a review, or trusted Larry and the Mitlin team on their journey—thank you.
Your words have not only shaped our practice,
but also helped elevate a new standard of excellence across the profession.
So today, we ask again:
What did you do today that brought you JOY?®
For us, it’s celebrating this incredible honor
and recommitting to the JOY we’re privileged to help your families discover.
