Atlas Fiduciary Financial

What Atlas Fiduciary Financial does

Atlas Fiduciary Financial operates as the Atlas Team, a financial advisory practice under Wealth Enhancement Advisory Services, LLC. Founded in 2020 and headquartered at 1577 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL, with a secondary office in Oakland, NJ, the firm provides fee-based comprehensive wealth management to high-net-worth individuals and families, as well as business owners, corporate executives, and high-income professionals including university faculty. Service lines span tax strategies, investment management, risk management and insurance, estate planning, retirement income planning, financial planning, annuities, and ancillary offerings including tax preparation, trust services, special needs planning, and retirement plan consulting.

The business model is asset-based fee generation on a recurring basis, structured as a percentage of AUM, with a consultative, relationship-driven sales motion initiated through complimentary initial consultations. There is no proprietary technology platform; client service is delivered through Wealth Enhancement's broader infrastructure, including the Schwab Alliance client portal for account management and reporting. Distribution combines direct advisory meetings at the two office locations with content marketing, webinars, eBooks, calculators, earned media placements in Bloomberg and MarketWatch, and a structured client referral program — all largely inherited from the parent Wealth Enhancement Group platform.

The team is led by Senior Vice Presidents Laura Mattia (PhD, MBA, CFP®) and Stephen Craffen (CFA®, CFP®, CLU, ChFC), Vice Presidents Greg Giardino (CFP®, CPWA®) and Alison Hall (CFP®), supported by Client Service Associate Barbara Freeborn and Financial Planning Assistant Leamarie Mattia. The firm differentiates via a proprietary S.M.A.R.T.E.R. Financial solutions methodology (Scientifically Managed Assets Requiring Trust Education Responsibility) and benefits from parental brand recognition including the Barron's 2025 Mega RIA #7 ranking, Forbes' 2025 America's Top RIA Firms, USA Today's 2025 Best Financial Advisory Firms, and the 2026 InvestmentNews 5-Star Wealth Management Teams designation.
