Woman-Founded Financial Services Business
OUR STORY
Hingst Financial Freedom was founded by Courtney Hingst, a visionary who believes that financial freedom should be accessible to everyone. Courtney's financial journey began as a child when her parents taught her about assets and liabilities at 8 years old, but she soon realized that not everyone shared the same upbringing. As the wife of a Physician, Courtney has empathy for those who have dedicated their lives to careers which don't require financial education. She recognizes that while someone may be the best in their line of work, aspects of life planning and financial management may be overwhelming.
​
At Hingst Financial Freedom, our mission is to guide our clients towards financial freedom. We are committed to shattering the myth that managing finances must be burdensome. Instead, we demonstrate that financial management can be a pathway to liberation—and it can even be enjoyable!

What does financial freedom mean to Courtney?
Courtney’s version of financial freedom means not relying on a single source of income for her family to live comfortably. Once achieving financial freedom, she looks forward to the following:
living in her family's dream house
paying for her children's education, no matter what level they decide to pursue
owning rental properties in locations where her family enjoys traveling
giving her husband the ability to work as much or as little as he desires
having the flexibility to maximize time with her family and volunteer at non-profits
