The problem it solves
Many individuals with substantial cash reserves lack the knowledge to effectively manage their wealth in low-risk environments that still yield returns. Current financial advisors often focus on aggressive investment strategies, neglecting safer options that can provide liquidity and security.

Consulting (fee-for-service)
Skills you need
Financial analysis, wealth management experience, strong communication skills, knowledge of banking products, and regulatory compliance.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of digital banking platforms, such as Marcus by Goldman Sachs, has made high-yield savings accounts more accessible to high-net-worth individuals seeking safer cash management options. A viable first-revenue move is to establish a presence in the r/personalfinance subreddit, where users often discuss wealth management strategies and seek advice. A significant risk is the regulatory scrutiny surrounding financial consulting, which can increase compliance costs and complicate service delivery.
