SmartAsset

Over the course of your life there will be a few financial decisions that will have an oversized impact on your personal wealth. Not buying coffee from Starbucks or turning the thermostat down two degrees will have a small fraction of the impact. You absolutely have to get the big decisions right. But how do you know what the right decisions are? SmartAsset is a New York, NY based company that provides “all the information and analysis you need to make the best possible financial decisions.” In my opinion, they’re not quite there yet, as they’re still in beta. But they have started with home buying which is definitely a high impact decision.

Put the SmartAss in SmartAsset

While there’s a ton of personal finance content on the web, a lot of it is confusing and of questionable motive (a lot of the content is more like advertising). That’s why SmartAsset focuses on building tools that are “straightforward, interactive and easy to use” while at the same time “unbiased and reliable.” Give the tools a try and see what you think. I do see some advertising on SmartAsset, but it’s straightforward and in no way misleading. They also have a product called SmartAsset 360 that helps people monitor their credit scores. I’m sure the business model is still developing, but that’s ok because SmartAsset has some funding to get them to the next step. If you want to help them get there, take a look at their Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Staff Writer and a Web Designer. We’re also pulling in UX/UI Designer, Financial Analyst, and Software Developer positions through Indeed, so you may want to click through to our site to see those positions.

   Just wanted to reaffirm that 2-5 years of experience required is not entry level.
