About Mike Turi, CFP®, APMA™

Originally from Morristown, New Jersey, Mike Turi came to New Orleans to study and earn his BSM at the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University. Mike is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and founded Upbeat Wealth to help families maximize their resources, share more purposeful experiences, and build lasting legacies.

Engrained in the financial advisory community, Mike previously served as the Next Gen Chair on the Financial Planning Association of Louisiana chapter board and currently belongs to organizations such as the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, XY Planning Network, and the Fee-Only Network.

When Mike isn’t trying to reshape the next generation of financial planning, he can be found in the St. Claude/Bywater neighborhoods of New Orleans, where he lives, works, and attempts to do pretty much everything else. You can frequently find him with his family in Crescent Park walking their neurotic German Shepherd, Smokey, and goofball Lab Pitt, Grady. When he is not giving out belly-rubs, he can be found trying new recipes and over-gardening their small yard. If he MUST leave the neighborhood, he is most likely biking to the Superdome.

As an advocate for New Orleans youth, Mike enjoys volunteering at Son of a Saint and coaching the Middle School lacrosse team at the Isidore Newman School.

Mike and Upbeat are truly fantastic. We began working with Mike early on in our careers and relationship and genuinely believe he has had a big impact on our success and quality of life. Mike is thoughtful, responsive, and very good at what he does. He assists us in so many parts of our life that I would never have initially even considered. Highly highly recommend.

The best! Fee-based, objective financial planning. Routine sessions are always well-structured with clear objectives, and the team has great availability for ad hoc needs.

Mike is a great, knowledgable, personable and (importantly) very patient CFP. He's been available and super helpful as both someone who can objectively evaluate/sanity-check what I'm already thinking and also fill in the gaps of areas I don't understand as much. Lucky to have him as my CFP!

Like most people I’m often worried with day to day events and immediate future that I place our long term goals in the back burner. Compared to previous experiences, Upbeat Wealth has provided us with tools to not only to manage our current finances and set goals for the future, but also has set in motion a system that allows us to revisit these goals constantly as life evolves and circumstances changes. Mr. Turi has provided a comfortable environment in which he guides us to set realistic expectations, helps us feel in control of our financial future and we feel actively involved in the decision making process.
