Compass Financial was founded by Joe Fricke in 2018 with a commitment to providing independent financial guidance focused on clients’ individual needs rather than selling financial products.

“I’ve always been interested in finance, especially budgeting. It’s fascinating how we can use money to make more money. So I began working for one of the large financial firms in 2007. But I realized that working for a commission – at an agency with a limited selection of financial products – was not the best path for my clients or myself.

That’s why I launched Compass Financial in 2018 from our home in Nixa, Missouri. My wife remembers the large stacks of folders that towered over our kitchen table! Through hard work and dedication to our clients, we’ve grown each year since.” – Joe Fricke, Financial advisor and owner of Compass Financial
