Payment History Confidence for Financial Freelancers
Published: July 2025
Overview
Even experienced financial professionals can struggle to win over clients concerned with trust and dependability. This case study shows how a freelance accountant leveraged RiskPeek's payment verification to secure work with a FinTech startup requiring high financial reliability.
The Challenge
Despite an impressive CV and portfolio, the freelancer was repeatedly overlooked. Clients in risk-sensitive sectors needed hard proof of financial dependability, not just references and credentials. Without a trusted third-party verification, proposals were left unanswered.
The Solution
The accountant activated their RiskPeek Score, which included:
- Validated payment history across multiple contracts
- Verified professional credentials and licenses
- Trusted endorsements from clients in regulated industries
- Compliance score showing low risk for financial engagements
With a single shareable profile link, prospective clients could review the accountant’s reliability in real time.
The Results
The FinTech startup quickly approved the proposal, reassured by clear, verifiable data:

Financial Trust Rating
2.5×
Proposal Acceptance Rate

Repeat Clients
“With RiskPeek, I could finally show that I was financially dependable. It opened doors to clients who never would have replied before.”
