About FinanceHQ

FinanceHQ is an innovative personal finance platform that connects individuals with trusted financial advisors and resources.

Since our launch, we've experienced explosive growth and continue to scale rapidly. To date, FinanceHQ has matched over $3 billion in investable assets with trusted fiduciaries, and we've partnered with firms managing a combined total of over $600 billion in assets.
