Five-Person Team Makes Strong First Impression with Technical Skills, Work Ethic and Client-Centered Focus
Boston, MA, September 19, 2017 (Newswire.com) - FinMason, a Boston-based FinTech and investment analytics firm, participated in the fourth annual Fuse Conference, held September 7-10, 2017, in Park City, Utah. Hosted by Orion Advisor Services, a leading portfolio accounting service provider for advisors, Fuse 2017 is the premier conference for financial services technology developers and programmers. Each September, the industry’s best coders gather in a mountain lodge for a weekend to build new integrations and change the technology experience for advisors everywhere. Fuse is open to all developers who work with Orion.
In their first appearance at Fuse, FinMason’s five-person team – three of whom flew in from FinMason’s Prague office (FinMason Europe, s.r.o.) – focused on integrating their portfolio analytics and risk data with Insight, Orion’s interactive client presentation tool, via their FinRiver API. FinMason was one of thirty companies to present their innovative hackathon solution at the event and were honored to accept an award for their hard work and initiative.
We are building a very powerful brand as a dedicated group of individuals that have world-class skills and a fanatical devotion to helping clients succeed. All sorts of good things are happening as a result, and this is just the beginning.
