Our Editorial Process

At Beanvest, we take the accuracy and reliability of our financial content seriously. Here is how we research, write, and maintain our investing definitions and educational content.

1

Research from Primary Sources

Every definition and financial concept is researched using primary sources: SEC filings, company annual reports, academic textbooks, and established financial standards (GAAP, IFRS). We cross-reference multiple authoritative sources to ensure accuracy.

2

Written by an Experienced Investor

Our content is written by Romain Simon, founder of Beanvest and a self-directed investor since 2015. Every explanation is written from the perspective of someone who actually uses these concepts to analyze stocks and make investment decisions.

3

Real Examples with Real Data

We use actual financial data from public companies to illustrate concepts. When we show a PE ratio calculation, we use real numbers from real companies, not hypothetical examples. All data is sourced from publicly available SEC filings and financial databases.

4

Regular Updates

Financial markets evolve and we keep our content current. Each article shows its last updated date. We periodically review definitions for accuracy, update real-world examples with fresh data, and expand content based on reader questions.

5

Practical, Not Academic

We write for individual investors who want to understand and apply financial concepts. Our goal is to give you the knowledge you need to analyze stocks, read financial statements, and make informed decisions. Every definition connects theory to practical investing.
