Oct 15, 2025
I’ve been working with Sonmore Financial for about ten years, and I’m extremely thankful that I found them. Their team has always been professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in my financial well-being. Matt and his team have guided me through major life transitions including a career change and have helped me confidently prepare for retirement. They’re always available to answer questions, review plans, and make sure I fully understand my options. What I appreciate most is that they take the time to explain everything clearly, never rush, and always put my best interests first. It’s reassuring to know I have a trusted team looking out for my financial future. I would highly recommend Sonmore Financial to anyone looking for personalized, trustworthy, and knowledgeable financial guidance.

I had a consultation on the telephone about retirement investment with Matt Benson. He was very patient, spent a generous amount of time with me, and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend seeking financial advice from Matt at Sonmore Financial.

Matt and the team at Sonmore are incredibly smart and hardworking. They really know their stuff. It's no surprise that Matt continuously wins awards and recognition in his industry. While I think they could help anybody, they're perfectly suited to help those of us who already have committed to a disciplined approach to our finances, and want to ensure that all that hard work pays off in retirement. Most importantly, they're trustworthy and have total integrity. They truly care about your well-being and your goals. It's been my privilege to literally entrust my family's future to them.

I’m not Matt’s client but I have called him a handful of times for financial advice. He is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about everything I have asked him. He is always willing to provide sound financial advice.
