About Matt

Matt Handwerk does financial analysis for Handwerk Consulting, which offers a variety of financial planning services for physicians and senior medical professionals in the state of Pennsylvania. Matt spends his days reviewing all the data collected, especially asset protection, reviewing all documents provided by the family to see where we can reduce risk and save money. Every idea that comes out of a meeting usually requires several steps to implement—and that’s when Matt is involved with optimization and implementation of the family’s finances. He enjoys seeing the strategies implemented successfully and knowing the family’s interests are being expressed, while helping them save money and better understand the complex accounting, legal, and financial framework in which we live.

Primarily in the accounting industry and helping clients with tax returns, Matt is also the owner of Advanced Accounting and Tax Solutions, a full-service accounting and consulting firm out of Lansdale, PA. Matt has a bachelor’s degree from Penn State, an MBA from Lehigh University, has his Enrolled Agent license from the IRS to be a tax expert, and is currently pursuing his financial licenses. Outside of work, Matt and his wife enjoy traveling, meeting up with friends, visiting local favorites in surrounding towns, and spending time at home with their cat-dog (a cat that goes outside on walks).
