About Afternoon Finance™

Financial news that actually makes sense.

At Afternoon Finance, we believe smart people shouldn’t have to waste time decoding Wall Street jargon or scrolling through sensational headlines to understand what’s actually happening in the markets.

Every weekday at 4:30 PM ET, we deliver a fast, witty, and well-researched breakdown of the day’s most important financial news — designed specifically for professionals who want to stay sharp without drowning in noise.

Whether you're managing a portfolio, leading a business, or just trying to make smarter money moves, we give you the insights that matter — minus the spin.

What Makes Us Different

🧠 Built for Educated Readers: We skip the dumbed-down clickbait and go straight to what matters — clearly, quickly, and with a dose of dry humor.

📬 Always On Time: Our newsletter hits inboxes daily at 4:30 PM ET. Right when the markets close. Right when you’re ready to catch up.

💡 Insight Over Hype: You’ll never find 27 charts that say nothing. Just the most important stories, sector trends, and what it all means — in plain English.

📉 Market Moves Decoded: We make the S&P, earnings calls, and Fed speak as easy to follow as your group chat.

Who We Are

We’re a team of financial nerds, portfolio managers, and news junkies with a deep love for clarity and an even deeper allergy to B.S. Afternoon Finance was built to serve readers who value time, intelligence, and a little personality with their financial insights.

We don’t just write about the news. We explain it — so you can talk about it, act on it, and make better decisions because of it.


Smarter by 5:00pm Eastern. That’s the promise.
