Hi, I'm Matt Reakus, the founder of Sound Wealth in Marlton, New Jersey. I'm a Christian, husband to an amazing wife and father of four, and I focus on business owners, families with a lot of moving parts, and people getting close to retirement. I started Sound Wealth in 2021 after rebuilding my practice around biblical stewardship. We handle financial planning and investment management at Sound Wealth, and tax preparation and year-round tax planning through our affiliated firm, Sound Tax, so the person who knows your plan is also looking at your tax return. I hold the CFP®, CKA®, CEPA and EA designations, which cover comprehensive financial planning, biblical stewardship and business exit planning at Sound Wealth. As an Enrolled Agent, I handle tax preparation and IRS representation through Sound Tax. I earned my Bachelor of Science at Stockton University, and I also teach biblical financial courses. I work with clients nationwide, meeting virtually or in person at our Marlton office. Outside the office you'll find me coaching my kids' sports and spending time with my family.
