About HZR Financial Partners

Empowering Businesses Through Financial Clarity

Partnership at the Core

Together, we help you make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.

Meet the Founder

Cody Shoemaker, Founder of HZR Financial Partners, brings over a decade of financial and credit expertise to every engagement. Before launching HZR, Cody spent 11 years with a publicly traded Fortune 500 company, specializing in credit analysis, risk management, and financial review.

A Philosophy Built on Clarity & Partnership

Cody founded HZR Financial Partners with one guiding principle — to help business owners turn financial complexity into clarity.

After years of reviewing business’s financials and seeing how misunderstood data could hold companies back, he built HZR to bridge that gap — transforming raw numbers into actionable strategy.

He believes every business, from a growing startup to an established enterprise, deserves the same level of financial insight and strategy that large corporations rely on. That belief continues to shape HZR mission and approach today.
