About Me

Hi, I'm Matt Pruitt. I genuinely love helping individuals simplify their financial lives so they, too, can focus on what's most important to them.

I spent over 10 years helping corporations, hedge funds, and institutional investors squeeze every last dollar out of their investments before I finally asked myself: what is most important in life, and what's keeping me from getting there?

So, what's important to me: spending time with my family, pursuing a career I'm passionate about, and running a business that allows me to partner with like-minded individuals.

My dad passed away at age 58, and I constantly remind myself that life is short and I better not regret how I live it. I am now lucky enough to say I work in a field that brings me happiness and fosters my personal values.

A perfectionist by nature and self-proclaimed finance/tax nerd, I genuinely love helping individuals simplify their financial lives so they, too, can focus on what's most important to them.
