Our take

Management of personal finance is typically a practice fraught with pitfalls and risks. Tools, information, and professional advice to help manage money have subsequently become invaluable resources to many Americans.

SmartAsset serves as a resource cache and marketplace connecting consumers with financial advisors. This focus on digital resources is proving savvy, as trends in the advisory profession indicate more consumers are turning online for support and professional help. SmartAsset's approach therefore allows it to reach more than 100 million people each month.

SmartAsset has managed to modernize the process of locating clients for advisors - previously a slow and labour-intensive process - while also materially assisting its large number of low-income customers. This saw SmartAsset’s revenue grow by ten times over four years, and it seems likely to capitalize on a growing number of US citizens looking to manage their financial planning digitally.
