Who are we?
Sound Advice is a subscription-based mobile app designed to make building wealth accessible for today’s generation. We serve young people who have been left behind from building wealth by the the limitations of traditional financial institutions and expensive financial products.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for college juniors, seniors, grad students, or recent graduates enthusiastic about kickstarting their financial journey on solid ground. The ideal candidate is curious and eager to provide insights into the user experience of the Sound Advice app, ensuring it resonates with the unique needs and aspirations of individuals navigating post-grad life who want to invest in living a life they will love.
Project Description
Your role is simple yet crucial: explore every nook and cranny of Sound Advice, pinpoint spots that need a bit more shine, and suggest how we can elevate the experience. Your insights are invaluable, whether it’s jazzing up our features, improving pricing messaging, enhancing accessibility of financial topics, or smoothing out the user interface. Consider yourself our in-house app detective, tasked with identifying what works, what doesn’t, and what could make us the go-to financial app for the next generation of wealth builders. If you’re keen on shaping an app that resonates with your peers, we’re excited to hear your ideas and bring them to life.
