Goals-based investment platform and portfolio management for financial advisors
Horizon operates a portfolio management and technology platform serving independent financial advisors, built on a mature analytics stack (Bloomberg, FactSet, Python, Pandas, scikit-learn, PostgreSQL). Pain-point data reveals operational friction: data integrity, reporting efficiency, and analytical maturity gaps — all being addressed through active projects in performance reporting and workflow enhancement. Sales-led hiring (3 of 5 open roles) paired with emerging data capability signals a shift toward advisor-facing reporting and portal adoption.
