We Aren't Your Traditional Financial Planner

What We Do

We are your

Coach

  • We’re not just financial advisors. We’re here to coach you through the most important parts of your life so nothing keeps you from your goals.

Accountability Partner

  • One of the most difficult parts of planning is ensuring you follow through. We help you stay on track at every stage of life, regardless of changes, victories or challenges.

Advocate

  • We don’t just create your Wrought Roadmap - we help you get there. We identify and communicate what should take priority and guide you each step of the way.

Do you ever consider if you are getting the best financial advice? Are you receiving advice focused on solving your known (and unknown) problems? Are you on the road to living your best life?


Here is the problem. Most financial “advice” is actually a sales pitch in disguise and, even then, most of this “advice” doesn’t cover every stage of a family’s financial journey. Most guidance stays in a single lane of focus ignoring the complexities of your unique financial situation. At Wrought Advisors we understand you need (and deserve) more. You need a team with a personal touch that pays attention to every detail and has the experience to solve your most complex problems so you can live your best life.

Our Three Lanes of Focus

  • Investment Management
  • Retirement & Financial Planning
  • Tax Management & Retirement Distribution Planning

It's about more than numbers and knowledge. Knowing what to do is one thing, actually doing it is another. Life is a full of victorious moments and, sometimes, hard challenges. We are your coach, your accountability partner, and your advocate.

    How we get paid

    We’ve listed our fees right here because transparency and trust are fundamental to a successful relationship

    Our clients find enormous value in bringing their financial planning and investment management under one roof so you can focus on what matters most (family, career, or changing the world).

    The fee for our comprehensive service is based on your net worth as it is an easy to understand measure of the complexity of your financial circumstances and thus the potential value that we may add.



    Client's Net Worth Monthly Fee
    $0 - $799,999 $400
    $800,000 and Above 0.05% of Net Worth (0.60% annually)

    Our fee structure has benefits that you may not realize:
    • Fee Only  means that we never receive any compensation beyond your advisory fee (for just one example; if you need additional life insurance we we will not earn a commission)
    • Long term alignment of interests to see your entire financial picture grow, not just assets we manage on your behalf
    • We give advice on held away assets and investments that are not under our discretion because those assets are just as important to you
    • We have no financial incentive to move assets under our management so we are unconflicted to find the best place for your assets where you have the most favorable tax treatment. Sometimes that means moving assets out of accounts that we manage for you (imagine a traditional "financial advisor" telling you that!)
    • Reducing debt is just as important as growing your assets to us as it is to you as both have an equal impact on your overall net worth

    Wrought Starter Pack

    Our fixed-term financial planning packages

    A Wrought Starter Pack can be a good way for you to work with a Certified Financial Planner© for the first time and figure out if you want to initiate an ongoing relationship, or receive step-by-step guidance if you prefer to do it yourself.

    Once you've signed an advisory agreement, we'll meet one or more times to answer your questions, analyze your situation, and discuss recommendations.  After we've decided upon a course of action, I'm available to help you implement your decisions and answer follow-up questions.  Once your package expires, you can initiate a new package as needed, or begin an ongoing financial planning relationship. 

    See below for some examples of questions that we might cover as part of a fixed-term financial planning package.

    • Which investments should I choose inside my retirement accounts?
    • I’m maxing out my retirement accounts. What should I do next?
    • I just inherited some money. What should I do with it?
    • I’m self-employed. How can I save for retirement?
    • I want to buy a house in a few years. How much do I need to save?
    • How should I handle stock awards from my employer?
    • Which employee benefits are best for my situation?
    • I’m getting married. How should we merge our finances?
    • How much and which type of life insurance do I need?
    • How should I save for college for my kids?
    • How much money do I need in order to stop working?
    • When should I start taking Social Security?

    We offer four types of packages, each with a maximum number of hours and an expiration date. We will help you choose the package that makes sense for you based on the type of help you need.

    Who We Are

    Andrew Mastro headshot

    Andrew Mastro, CFA, CFP®, CAIA Founder & President

    Hi, I’m Andrew! 

    Wrought Advisors was founded because you should have the option to work with a commission-free advisor, without the conflicts of interest of old Wall Street. By implementing, the Wrought Roadmap, my proprietary financial planning process, I help my clients reduce taxes, invest, and make smart financial decisions so you feel confident in the choices you are making today and the plans you make for the future. I love what I do and it brings me such fulfillment to see my clients’ succeed.

    I’ve been interested in history, finance, and psychology since I was a kid growing up in Ocean City, New Jersey. After graduating from The College of New Jersey with honors, I began my financial services career in the alternative investment industry (private equity, hedge funds, and commercial real estate) first with Merrill Lynch Alternative Investments in Princeton, New York, and Boston and then with FS Investments based in Philadelphia. I grew tired of getting on airplanes for work and being away from my family so with the entrepreneurial spirit calling me I began my wealth management practice at Merrill Lynch and then I founded the independent and fee-only firm Wrought Advisors.

    I am married to my beautiful and patient wife and together we reside in Haddonfield, NJ with our two young daughters and Labrador Retriever. I enjoy traveling and sharing new experiences with my girls and coaching their sports teams. Giving back to my community is important to me so I am a member of the Rotary Club of Haddonfield where we support many local, regional, and even some international projects. With whatever free time is left to me I love to read, work on home improvement projects, jog with my dog, cycle, ski, and squeeze in the increasingly rare round of golf.
