About

Maplewood Wealth serves individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) and small businesses, providing ongoing and project-based financial planning, investment management tied to planning engagements, and tax preparation services. As of March 2026 the firm reports $3,471,361 in non-discretionary assets under management and no discretionary AUM.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long-term, passive portfolios and asset allocation grounded in modern portfolio theory, typically using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and bonds tailored to client risk tolerance. Investment recommendations are provided on a non-discretionary basis—clients retain approval authority for trades—and the firm implements individualized execution rather than block or aggregated trading.

What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its primarily non-discretionary operating model and reported all-non-discretionary AUM, a configuration that is uncommon among independent advisers (only about 13% of peers are primarily non-discretionary). The brochure also discloses additional features that may affect clients’ experience, including complimentary tax preparation services offered to clients and the firm principal’s compensated outside business activities as an adjunct professor and as a contractor providing financial advice to employees of other organizations.

Maplewood Wealth

I'm Matthew, the founder of Maplewood Wealth, and I'll admit it—I'm a financial planning nerd. While I geek out over optimizing finances and taxes for my clients, what truly excites me is witnessing the transformation in their lives as they gain confidence in their financial decisions. At Maplewood Wealth, I've created a fresh approach to financial planning that resonates with fellow millennials who've found success early in their careers. I understand that for our generation, true financial confidence goes beyond mere numbers—it's about aligning our money with our values and goals to design the lifestyle we want. My approach allows you to enjoy life now while also securing a fulfilling future. Based in the Chicagoland area, I bring both professional expertise and relatable life experience to my practice. As a young father balancing career and family life, I intimately understand the challenges and aspirations you face. Whether you're a young professional building a strong financial foundation, a "surprised affluent" navigating sudden wealth, or part of a growing family juggling multiple financial priorities, I tailor my approach to your unique situation. With Maplewood Wealth, you're not just getting a financial planner—you're gaining a dedicated partner in navigating life's changes and achieving your dreams without stress. Let's work together to create a financial plan that empowers you to live your best life, both now and in the future.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
