From Rutgers University to Financial Services

Iarrapino graduated from Rutgers University, where he majored in Finance and minored in Psychology. During his time at Rutgers, he was a member of the Rutgers Crew team and the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.

Following university, Iarrapino began his career in financial services at Merrill Edge, where he worked as an Investment Specialist. His experience in investment services and client relationships subsequently led to his role with the Fischman Azar Group.

Today, Iarrapino works with clients as a Financial Advisor, with an emphasis on helping ensure that financial goals and administrative requirements are addressed as part of the broader advisory relationship.

The Fischman Azar Group

Iarrapino is part of a five-advisor team at the Fischman Azar Group.

The group was founded by Senior Financial Advisors Alexander "Sandy" Fischman and Shalom Azar. Fischman established The Fischman Group in 2015 and began working with Azar in 2019. The team subsequently moved to Morgan Stanley in 2021 before joining Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network in 2025.

The group's other Financial Advisors are Solomon Tobal and Tomer Mizrahi.

Tobal's background includes relationship management and previous work specializing in pre-IPO investments. Mizrahi's areas of focus include equity compensation management, investment planning, estate planning strategies, education planning and overall wealth management.

Together, the five advisors work with clients across investment planning, wealth management and related financial strategies.

Client Relationships and Financial Planning

Iarrapino's role has a particular emphasis on relationship management. His work involves helping clients address their financial objectives while also attending to the administrative requirements that accompany an ongoing wealth-management relationship.

This role sits within a broader practice that addresses investment planning and wealth management as well as areas such as executive compensation, estate planning, education planning and wealth transfer.

The group works with senior executives at publicly traded companies and provides planning around areas including executive compensation, trust and estate planning, legacy formation and wealth transfer. It also provides access to lending and liquidity options through Wells Fargo affiliates.

A Team-Based Advisory Model

The Fischman Azar Group's structure brings together advisors with different areas of experience.

Fischman's background includes investment planning, stock compensation strategies and customized wealth planning. Azar focuses on wealth management and financial strategies for senior executives, including considerations around executive compensation, estate planning and wealth transfer.

Tobal contributes experience in relationship management and pre-IPO investments, while Mizrahi focuses on equity compensation, investment planning, estate planning and wealth management. Iarrapino's role adds a focus on client relationships, financial goals and administrative needs.

The result is a team structure in which different aspects of a client's financial planning can be addressed across multiple advisors.

Education and Community Involvement

Iarrapino's interests extend beyond financial services. His background in rowing began at Rutgers, where he participated on the university's Crew team.

He remains involved in the sport as a mentor for the Saint Joseph High School rowing team. He also participates in volunteering and lists golf and fitness among his interests. Iarrapino currently resides in Edison, New Jersey.

Current Role

Iarrapino continues to serve as a Financial Advisor with the Fischman Azar Group in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

His professional path has taken him from an Investment Specialist position at Merrill Edge into a client-facing advisory role within a growing wealth-management practice. His current work combines relationship management and financial planning support with the broader investment and wealth-management capabilities of the Fischman Azar Group.

The group currently consists of Senior Financial Advisors Alexander "Sandy" Fischman and Shalom Azar, together with Financial Advisors Solomon Tobal, Tomer Mizrahi and Nicholas Iarrapino.
