The most common question we get is why the matching service is free.

Here’s the direct answer.

Zoe is compensated by the advisors and firms in its network for making the right connections.

We built our model thoughtfully to keep our incentives aligned with yours: we connect you with fiduciary advisors who are a good match for you, based on your goals, financial situation, and priorities. We disclose this fully in our Form ADV, in case you want to read it.

What Zoe Is Not

What Zoe Is Not

Not a robo-advisor.

We only connect you with human advisors to build your financial plan and manage your wealth.

Not a paid directory.

Advisors can't pay to move up your match list. They only get your information if you choose to speak with them.

Not an unvetted marketplace.

Every advisor is screened before they can be matched with you. See the vetting process →

Not your advisor’s employer.

Zoe doesn't direct the advice you get. Your advisor's fiduciary duty is to you, not to Zoe.

How Every Advisor Is Vetted

Credentials

Licenses and designations checked against public regulatory records.

Experience

Minimum years advising clients, with a verified track record.

Fiduciary Duty

Legally obligated to act in your best interest at all times.

Financial Planning

Able to plan across taxes, retirement, and estate needs.

Investment Management

A disciplined, transparent approach to managing portfolios.

Zoe Financial connects clients with independent, fiduciary financial advisors who have been screened for credentials (CFP®, CFA®, or CPA), a minimum of five years of experience, clean regulatory records, and absence of commission-based compensation. Advisors are further assessed on subject-matter expertise, investment process, and client experience before admission to the network. Zoe receives a referral fee (15–35% of the advisor's fees) only upon a successful client match. This vetting process does not guarantee advisor performance, suitability, or future conduct. Clients should conduct their own due diligence before engaging any advisor. This material is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.
