Matthew Finley, CFP®, a Wealth Manager from Minneapolis, MN, specializes in active investment management, tax planning, and income planning for retirement.Â
The inspiration for his career in the financial industry came from conversations with his grandfather as a young boy. While these discussions about the stock market planted a seed in Matthew, he started off his professional career as a research microbiologist working on the antimicrobial properties of chemicals in the health and food safety industries. During this time, Matthew worked on numerous well-known products in the marketplace and has four patents. After his science career, Matthew moved into the sales and finance field, working for one of the largest credit processing companies in the country while developing numerous business relationships in the Midwest region.
With a strong desire to help people financially, Matthew began his financial career in 2009 with a large broker-dealer in Minneapolis, MN, where he learned the breadth of the financial markets and financial planning principles through an extensive training and research curriculum. In 2013, Matthew moved to the independent financial advisor model to better serve his clients as a fiduciary and become an expert in financial planning and asset management. In 2018, Matthew Finley joined the Perspective 6 Wealth Advisors team as a Partner & Financial Advisor to continue his pursuit of financial planning and asset management while collaborating with a highly successful team.
Beyond the world of finance, Matthew is passionate about spending time with his family, including his three children. He is actively coaching traveling baseball and acts as a part-time caddie for his daughter’s burgeoning golf career. When his time is not consumed with sports activities, he enjoys traveling to warm sandy destinations with his wife, Julie.
When I was younger, my grandfather began teaching me about the stock market. Little did I know this would plant a seed that would later bloom into a wonderful career. Initially, I resisted the urge to work in finance during college and instead went down a different path. After a number of years working as a researcher and in sales, I made a career change into the finance world because I wanted to help people with their financial decisions starting in 2009.
I employ a conversational approach in building relationships and trust with clients. I believe it’s critical to hear a client's needs and concerns to help shape the strategies that meet the client's vision of their financial success.
Although I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, such as MedTech, small business owners, and others, I focus on retired and soon-to-be retired clients. 

My favorite part about working with clients is forming long-standing friendships and trust that have helped many get through otherwise difficult times. I love providing peace of mind so clients can focus on what matters in their lives.
My role at Perspective 6 Wealth Advisors is Director of Investment Management. My expertise spans active investment management with a focus on risk management. I also assist our planning team with tax planning and cash flow analysis for retirement needs.
As a former research microbiologist with several patents, my approach to financial services is one of extensive research and due diligence when planning and selecting investments for clients. My investment strategy is formed around creating proper risk-managed portfolios based on the client’s desired goals in combination with the pitfalls that can occur over a lifetime of savings and income needs.
