Finder’s review board and expert contributors
Finance experts work with Finder to raise their profiles.
At Finder, we work with respected external personal finance experts to judge our Finder Innovation Awards, contribute insight to white papers, videos and prediction panels, and to review our content. The group who review our content are our editorial review board. While Finder’s editorial team are all subject experts, we ask these external experts to ensure we uphold the highest standards, and to add another perspective.
If you’re a leading expert and work with us on awards or white papers, we may invite you to join the editorial review board, too. We frequently ask reviewers to also contribute articles or commentary on a freelance basis.
