Frequently asked questions
What is Sam's List?
Sam's List is a curated directory of vetted financial professionals including accountants, CPAs, financial
advisors, bookkeepers, and fractional CFOs. We help business owners and high net worth individuals find the
right professional through verified 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 vet 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
directories that let anyone pay to be listed, we maintain quality standards so 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. Every reviewer must authenticate through
LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter before submitting a review. No anonymous reviews are allowed.
How is Sam's List different from other financial professional directories?
Most other platforms take 5-10% of your annual contract when you hire a firm through them, sometimes in
perpetuity. Sam's List takes zero referral fees and zero commissions. Our reviews are verified through
social authentication and cannot be removed by the firm, and our matching quiz recommends professionals
based on your specific situation rather than who 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.
