Making sense of your paycheck and financial statements can be quite a headache, and for most people, it’s unclear what all those numbers and percentages represent. Fortunately there is HelloWallet, a company that is dedicated to democratizing access to independent financial guidance through easy-to-use software applications, also available on iPhone and Android.  
HelloWallet is also interested in offering their financial expertise to employers who, in turn, can help their employees make better sense of their salary and benefits.  A winner of the 2013 Webby for the Best Financial Services Banking Website, HelloWallet has a social mission, offering one free membership to a family in need for every five memberships purchased.
The socially-minded company is creating a dictionary of sorts to understand the lexicon of your financial life, ensuring users more independence and freedom to earn, save or spend their money.
