Who Is On The Board?

How Does The Review Board Work?

Each article is written by an expert in their respective financial field, often certified professionals like CPAs and CFPs. Then, we assign the article to the best-suited Review Board member, based on their expertise. From there, our board members read each article thoroughly, evaluating it for accuracy and relevancy, and pass it back to the editorial team to make any necessary adjustments. Finally, the article receives an official stamp indicating it has been reviewed by a member of our Financial Review Board. Our Review Board members’ extensive training and experience, paired with our editorial know-how, give you the best answers to your money questions.
