Finance & Professional Services Whether you are in banking, insurance, fintech, consulting, data analytics, or accounting, one thing is clear: New Jersey is a major finance and professional services hub. Over 26,600 finance and professional services firms call the Garden State home, 800+ of which have more than 500 employees. It’s not surprising that the Finance and Professional Services sector is a major contributor to our economy, accounting for nearly $67 billion in GDP and employing more than 370,000 of our residents. The sector is also rapidly expanding in NJ, with more than 14% growth since 2013. Our strength in Finance and Professional Services is built on a set of unique advantages. We’re located in the heart of the Northeast Corridor, next door to the world’s financial capital, offering world-class services at a fraction of the price. For example, office space is 40-60% cheaper in New Jersey than in other nearby markets and has some of the best digital infrastructure in the U.S. (e.g., #1 state in percent of population with access to wired broadband of 25 mbps or faster, #2 in average download speed, and #2 in percent of population with access to fiber-optic internet). For all these reasons (and more) Governor Murphy’s 2018 Economic Development Plan identified Finance and Professional Services as a focus sector for the State. We believe the sector is a critical part of our truly innovative service economy. The NJEDA is committed to being a strategic partner to the State’s banking, investment management and insurance companies as well as professional services firms in tax, accounting, marketing/advertising, law, business and management consulting, and technology/engineering services.
