About

You've built something meaningful. Maybe it's a startup, a career in tech, a creative practice, or a business that finally found its footing. But with that growth comes complexity, and suddenly, your financial life doesn't feel like it's working for you. You're fielding K-1s, juggling RSUs, navigating AMT surprises, and wondering what to do with all these "opportunities" no one prepared you for.

That's where I come in.

I'm Mark Stancato, CFP®, EA, ECA, CRPS®, and founder of VIP Wealth Advisors. I work with people whose lives don't follow a straight line - tech professionals, business owners, executives, creatives. People with vision and drive but who don't have the time or desire to untangle spreadsheets, decode tax law, or second-guess every financial move. They want clarity. Confidence. A partner they can trust with the stuff that keeps them up at night.

I didn't come from Wall Street. I came from the startup world, the stage, the grind of building something from nothing. I've bootstrapped businesses, advised founders through life-changing equity events, and helped creatives transform uncertain income into real wealth. I've been in rooms where ambition collides with identity, where money isn't just about numbers - it's about freedom, leverage, and making sure this all means something.

That's the lens I bring to financial planning. At VIP Wealth Advisors, I combine deep tax expertise, thoughtful investment management, and white-glove service into one integrated experience. I file your returns, manage your assets, and help you make smart decisions with long-term impact. I'm not here to sell you products or overwhelm you with jargon. My purpose is to help you breathe easier, sleep better, and take action - knowing someone's watching the details.

VIP stands for Very Intentional Planning, because that's what your life deserves. If you've outgrown generic advice and want a true partner who understands both the strategy and the story behind your success - we should talk.

This isn't just planning. It's designing a life on your terms, with clarity and confidence at every step.

KV Financial Advice LLC

For over sixteen years I’ve had the privilege of helping people with their finances. During that time I’ve worked with hundreds of clients with a broad range of goals, from young professionals early in their careers to multiple generations of ultra high net worth families. At a high level, my approach is very simple: - Invest early and often - Avoid costly mistakes - Focus on things you can control Much of the value I deliver for clients is through the thoughtful implementation and ongoing reinforcement of these concepts throughout your financial life. Prior to launching KV Financial Advice in 2024, I spent three years as a lead advisor and team leader at one of the largest fee-only independent wealth management firms in the country. In addition to working with many wonderful clients, I served the firm’s other advisors as head subject matter expert on planning for stock-based compensation and led the firm’s summer associate internship program. I am a two-time graduate of Georgia Tech and have been a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional since 2011. I live in Sandy Springs, GA with my beautiful wife of over 11 years, three year old son, and two extremely energetic puppies.

Kenwyck Capital

As the daughter of a banker, I learned early on that if I wanted something, I had to earn it. I rolled my dad’s spare change for a 10% cut and birthday presents were stock certificates … not exactly on my wish list. At 16, I was already investing in the stock market and experiencing the sense of freedom and independence that comes when you understand your money. With this knowledge, I was paving the way to live life on my terms. This was so intoxicating I became a financial advisor to share my passion with others. As a financial advisor, I quickly learned that most women did not share my love of investing. In fact, many felt intimidated, guilty, and uncomfortable with their lack of knowledge, yet they yearn for financial independence. That’s why my true purpose as a financial advisor is to create an environment where women (and those who love them) feel heard, where they are encouraged and supported to express their fears and concerns without judgement. My unique brilliance is creating a positive wealth management experience, so they become more engaged in the conversation, while building the knowledge and confidence they need to live life on their terms.

Sonas Financial Planning

Husband. Friend. Nature lover. Girl dad. Banjo player. Financial planner. Whether you lack time, skill, or desire, you need a financial advisor to stay accountable and be proactive. It’s easy to document your plan on paper, but if someone isn’t in your corner looking out for your financial well-being, it’s easy to get off track. It’s about creating a to-do list, getting it done, and then doing it again – life evolves, and so does your plan. Our goal is to give you confidence in your financial decisions and free up your time, enabling you to live a better, more confident life. As a Financial Planner, I get to make the world a better place, one family & one person at a time. I am a Certified Financial Planner™ and a master's degree in personal financial planning. I started Sonas Financial Planning so that I could help more families achieve financial clarity, confidence, and happiness. If you are ready to worry less and live happily, schedule a free consultation by calling 404-545-5368 or email bradley@sonasfp.com.
