About Matthew Gorrell, AFC®, EA, ChFC®, MQFP®, WMCP®

Hi, I'm Matthew Gorrell, Founder of HonorPoint Financial Solutions. I started HonorPoint Financial because I’ve lived the financial journey most of my clients are on — and I’ve made the mistakes, learned the hard lessons, and built systems that actually work. My background spans more than a decade of hands-on financial work with individuals, families, and small businesses. I’m an Accredited Financial Counselor® (AFC®), a Wealth Management Certified Professional® (WMCP®), a Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®), an IRS-registered Enrolled Agent (EA), a Military Qualified Financial Planner (MQFP), and a Series 65-licensed Investment Adviser Representative through HonorPoint Financial LLC, a fiduciary, state-registered investment adviser in Alaska — meaning I can speak to your budget, your debt strategy, your tax situation, your portfolio, and the unique financial landscape of military life, all in the same conversation. But credentials only tell part of the story. I’ve also personally built, operated, and sold businesses — S-Corps and LLCs — which means when I sit down with a small business owner, I understand the decisions you face because I’ve faced them myself. Cash flow pressure, entity structure, tax implications, exit planning — these aren’t abstract concepts to me. They’re experiences. Add to that a U.S. Army background that instilled a values-driven, mission-first approach to everything I do, and you get a financial guide who brings discipline, honesty, and genuine commitment to every client relationship. I call myself a guide intentionally. Depending on what you need, I may show up as an advisor, a strategist, a planner, or a counselor. The role flexes. The commitment doesn’t. My practice is built around one promise: you’ll always know why I’m recommending something, how it fits your life, and what to do next.

About HonorPoint Financial Solutions

At HonorPoint Financial, we help military families, individuals, and small business owners build financial clarity from the ground up. Whether you’re managing debt, preparing for homeownership, filing taxes, or navigating a PCS move, you get guidance from someone who’s lived it. I’m Matthew Gorrell, an Army combat veteran and IRS-Licensed Enrolled Agent. I hold the AFC®, WMCP®, ChFC®, EA, and MQFP® designations, so tax strategy, military benefits, and financial planning all work together instead of living in separate silos. Delivered virtually by Zoom, so you get the same guidance whether you’re stationed here in Alaska or PCSing somewhere new. Why HonorPoint Financial Exists Most financial advisors focus on investments and wealth management. We start earlier than that — with the foundation. Budgeting, debt, credit, cash flow, and taxes are the things that actually determine whether a financial plan holds up, so that’s where we spend our time before anything else. HonorPoint Financial was founded to give people a clear plan and someone in their corner to follow through on it. That means combining tax expertise (as an IRS-Licensed Enrolled Agent), counseling-based coaching (AFC®), and comprehensive planning (WMCP®) under one roof, instead of sending you to three different professionals who don’t talk to each other. Whatever stage you’re starting from, you deserve a straightforward plan and someone who’ll walk it with you. Our Services From comprehensive financial planning to mortgage readiness, tax preparation, and tax strategy — expert, judgment-free guidance wherever you are on your financial journey. Delivered virtually from Wasilla, Alaska, to clients across the Mat-Su Valley and beyond. Our Approach Unlike firms that focus primarily on investments and wealth management, we concentrate on the fundamentals first, helping clients understand budgeting, credit, and debt thoroughly so that real financial progress can follow. We offer both pay-as-you-go sessions and a monthly subscription for ongoing coaching and accountability, depending on what fits your needs best.
