Sam's List is a curated directory of financial professionals including accountants, CPAs, financial advisors, bookkeepers, and fractional CFOs. We help business owners and high net worth individuals find the right professional for their specific situation through client reviews, detailed profiles, and a matching quiz that connects you with professionals based on your needs, industry, and financial profile.

How does Sam's List verify the professionals on the platform?

Every professional on Sam's List goes through a review process before being listed. We review their credentials, confirm they are actively practicing, and monitor their client reviews over time. Unlike other directories that let anyone pay to be listed, we maintain quality standards so that when you browse our platform, you can trust that the professionals you see are legitimate and reputable.

Are the reviews on Sam's List real?

Yes. Every review on Sam's List is submitted by someone who has interacted with that firm. We do not allow firms to remove negative reviews or manipulate their ratings. We also do not write reviews on behalf of firms. To ensure authenticity, every reviewer must authenticate through LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter before submitting a review. No anonymous reviews are allowed. This makes our reviews more trustworthy than testimonials on a firm's own website, where they control what gets published.

Why should I use Sam's List instead of asking a friend for a referral?

A friend's referral is based on one person's experience with one professional. That professional may have been great for your friend's situation but may not be the right fit for yours. A startup founder with equity compensation needs a different accountant than a real estate investor managing rental properties. Sam's List lets you compare dozens of professionals side by side, filter by the specialties and industries that match your needs, and read reviews from multiple people so you get a complete picture, not just one opinion.

How is Sam's List different from other financial professional directories?

Sam's List is different in how we handle reviews. Our reviews are verified through social authentication and cannot be removed by the firm, giving you an honest view of each professional's track record. And our matching quiz analyzes your specific financial situation, industry, and goals to recommend professionals who actually fit your needs rather than just showing you whoever paid the most for visibility.

Does it cost anything to use Sam's List?

No. Sam's List is completely free for anyone searching for a financial professional. You can browse profiles, read reviews, take the matching quiz, and contact professionals at no cost. The professionals on our platform pay for enhanced visibility and marketing services, which is how we keep the platform free for consumers.
