About Bench Fi
Tom Scanlan
Primary Developer & Founder of Bench Fi
I'm passionate about creating tools that help people understand their finances and make better decisions. Bench Fi was born out of my desire to bring transparency to personal finance by allowing people to benchmark their financial situation against peers and receive personalized recommendations.
The Mission
Bench Fi aims to democratize financial planning by providing users with powerful benchmarking tools that compare their financial situation to peers with similar backgrounds and circumstances. Our AI-powered recommendations help users create realistic financial plans tailored to their unique situation.
The Technology
Built with modern web technologies and machine learning algorithms, Bench Fi analyzes anonymized financial data to provide accurate benchmarks and personalized recommendations. We prioritize privacy and security, ensuring your financial data remains protected.
Development Journey
The idea for Bench Fi came from my own experience trying to understand if I was on track financially. Traditional financial planning tools focus on budgeting and tracking, but few help you understand how you compare to others in similar situations.
After months of research and development, Bench Fi was created to fill this gap. The platform combines financial benchmarking with personalized planning to give users a complete picture of their financial health and actionable steps to improve it.
Today, Bench Fi continues to evolve with new features and improvements based on user feedback. Our goal is to make financial planning accessible, transparent, and effective for everyone.
