Mitlin Financial founder and Wealth Advisor Larry Sprung, CFP® was not only included in the coveted Investopedia 100 Top Financial Advisors 2022 list – he also landed a spot in the Top 10!
Larry earned this honor based partly on the significant impact he’s made in promoting financial literacy. Advisors appearing on this list are also applauded for their life-stage planning and wealth management acumen.
An Award-Winning Wealth Advisor & Financial Literacy Advocate
Larry hosts the educational Mitlin Money Mindset podcast and has a long history of prioritizing the needs of clients first. His ability to break down complicated financial topics into easily understandable bits of information is among the reasons for his long list of accolades and professional awards.
“I am honored to be recognized with this great list of advisors having a positive impact on the profession,” said Larry. “To be recognized in the top 10 is truly humbling and provides validation for the hard work our stakeholders put in each day for the families we serve at Mitlin Financial.”
Inclusion in the top 10 of this list designates Larry as a Top 10 industry leader – a designation he now shares with Carson Group founder and CEO Ron Carson. With the number of independent financial advisors in the United States exceeding 100,000, landing a spot in the Top 10 is a prestigious recognition!
Advisors who wished to be ranked self-submitted or peer-submitted answers to questions compiled by Investopedia. Rankings were determined based on number of followers and engagement on social media, primary contribution to professional industry websites and their focus on financial literacy. An advisor’s ranking on this list does not ensure that a client or prospective client will experience a higher level of performance or results, nor a guarantee of future investment success. -

Each year since 1998 we’ve introduced 40 of Long Island’s best and brightest and recognized their accomplishments, their drive to succeed and their commitment to making Long Island a better place in which to live and do business.
