About Us
Our approach to financial intelligence
First Class Financial Associates is a Detroit-based financial analytics firm led by Liz Badgett — built at the intersection of modern accounting and data-driven decision making.
We engineer clarity from complexity. Combining precision reporting, real-time financial intelligence, and a client-first methodology, we deliver seamless advisory experiences for businesses that demand more than a standard back-office.
Our model is built on deep client relationships — understanding your operating model, your capital structure, and your growth trajectory to deliver strategies that scale with you.
