"Zoe Financial was a great resource as I started my journey and search for financial planning help. They helped set up great connections and their team is extremely communicative and helpful!"
Katie Galbraith - Sep 24, 2025
Zoe Financial helped me find great financial advisors and Preston was really helpful in making sure the process was easy and that I had more than one option to choose from. He was attentive and friendly and easy to work with...
Dawne Eng - Jun 28, 2025
Quick and easy process, well-informed financial advisors available in their roster. Several follow-ups during the process and after-sales care.
KG - May 10, 2025
Zoe Financial made the process of finding a Financial Consultant so easy. From setting up appts and following up with calls and emails. I highly recommend them.
Holly Prinz - May 9, 2025
Beyond my imagining! I have had two negative experiences with advisors, and I am now confident I'm with the right person for my needs. They set up two interviews, and both were professional. One was exceptional! I completed my "intake" today. All good.

Where Your Money Is Actually Held
Where Your Money Is Actually Held
Zoe never holds your money.
Assets in Zoe Wealth brokerage accounts are held by Apex Clearing Corporation, a third-party clearing and custody broker-dealer. Zoe does not take custody of client funds.
Apex is a FINRA and SIPC member.
SIPC membership protects the securities in your account up to applicable limits if the broker-dealer fails. SIPC does not protect against investment losses or market declines.
Your advisor is independent.
Advisors in the Zoe Network are independent firms, not Zoe employees. You can look up any advisor’s own registration and disciplinary history on SEC IAPD or FINRA BrokerCheck before you hire them.
