Simple Money Advice has no paid endorsements, affiliate relationships, or sponsored content as of July 2026. Every company, product, or service named on this site is something I use personally. No one pays me to mention them.
Personal finance content on the internet has a trust problem. A lot of it is engineered to get you to click an affiliate link, and the recommendations reflect that. I built this site because I think there's a real gap between what people are told and what actually works, and I wanted to fill it with honest takes from someone who has lived it professionally and personally.
Part of keeping that credible is being transparent about money. So this page exists to tell you exactly where things stand, including what I plan to do in the future.
Several articles on this site name specific companies and products. These are things I personally use. I was not approached by any of them, I do not have a commercial relationship with any of them, and I receive no compensation of any kind for the mentions.
Everything on this site is general educational content based on my experience and research. I am a CPA and have 15+ years in corporate finance, but I am not your financial advisor. Nothing here is tailored to your individual situation. Before making significant financial decisions, talk to a licensed financial professional who knows your specific circumstances.
I hold an active Certified Public Accountant license issued by the New Jersey State Board of Accountancy. This site is not provided in my capacity as a CPA. I am not engaged in the practice of public accounting here, I am not performing attest, tax, or advisory services for any reader, and nothing on this site or any linked social media account creates a CPA-client relationship. I'm sharing what I've learned as a writer and educator, using the same credential that shapes how I think about money, not as your accountant.
I write and run this site independently of my employer. The opinions here are my own and don't represent the views, positions, or endorsement of my current or any past employer.
I believe what I write, but I also make mistakes, and the world changes. If you see something that looks wrong, I genuinely want to hear about it.
