Redefine financial services for healthcare professionals.

Join the premier financial partner to doctors, their families, and their practices.

Earned is the premier financial services firm for healthcare professionals and their practices.

We have an ambitious vision to be the only financial services firm doctors turn to. We connect our clients to a comprehensive ecosystem of services — including financial planning, retirement plans, investing, tax, insurance, accounting, and more — coordinated and delivered under one roof.

We’re realizing this vision by strategically partnering with and acquiring like-minded businesses, equally focused on solving the existential challenges healthcare professionals face today:

Behind on retirement

often by over 50%

Burned out

with finances as the #2 cause  

Complex financial needs

and high tax burdens

Accelerate your clients' wealth and turbocharge your business.  

A comprehensive, integrated approach to building and protecting doctors’ wealth delivers reliably better client returns, doubling or tripling expected net worth.

Earned’s proven playbook connects existing single-service clients to full-service clients receiving tax and wealth management from Earned, transforming revenue per client.
