Read a little bit about our who we are
Matt Hudak, AAMS®, CFP®
Financial Advisor
Matt founded Co|Create Financial, based on the belief that Financial Planning should be about more than just maximizing your investment account values over the course of your life. Your financial resources gain their value based upon the things you use them to accomplish. Matt’s belief is that your money is connected to every area of your life, and either enhances or hinders depending on how it is used. Matt’s passion for helping his clients centers around this idea, that your purpose should be the driver behind your financial plan and your financial resources should empower you to live out that purpose.
Matt has been serving the financial needs of individuals and businesses since 2010 and has developed a broad base of experience to help his clients with their diverse financial needs. He began his career in property management, worked with mortgages and helped homebuyers develop savings plans and manage their budgets. In 2013, he became a Financial Planner for Raymond James, where he served clients in 15 different states and became a partner in the branch in 2014. He has worked closely with people in every stage of life, helped small business, and non-profits with their financial planning needs.
Matt is actively involved in the community. He recently began serving on the Board of Love in the Name of Christ after concluding his maximum board term limit for Family Promise, a grassroots organization providing shelter and case management for homeless families, in which he served as Treasurer, Vice President, and two terms as President. He volunteers raising service puppies for Canine Companions, has volunteered for Child Bridge of Montana as an ambassador to region. He enjoys woodworking, playing various musical instruments, and loves doing all the things that make Bozeman a unique community. Most of all, he is passionate about spending time with people.
