About Us
Home About Us
The Wealthstack story started over 20 years ago when my wife and I began discussing our finances early in our marriage. We decided that we wanted to be as intentional and deliberate as we could, raising our children in a household that inherently and intrinsically understands and values financial wellness. Ultimately, it's always been about financial wellness for us.
As an Actuary, I realised that you can't grow wealth and financial wellness without a measure of that success, or a “progress bar” of your goals reached. And so, to keep tabs on our progress, I created multiple spreadsheets to track my family's investment accounts, insurance products and specific financial goals. The spreadsheets were a great start, but they quickly became exponentially complicated.
Out of this need, the idea and dream of Wealthstack was born and together with the team, a solution was created that is far superior to any spreadsheet. Our hope is that Wealthstack helps you understand your financial products, boosts your financial wellness and encourages you to build generational wealth.
