Financial Literacy Events

We run workshops and seminars throughout the year because money management shouldn't feel like solving a cryptic puzzle. These sessions cover real-world topics—budgeting that actually works, understanding investment basics, or navigating tax season without the usual headaches. You'll walk away with practical knowledge you can use right away.

What's Coming Up

Our autumn 2025 schedule includes both in-person workshops and online sessions. Pick what suits your schedule and learning style. Some people prefer asking questions face-to-face, others like joining from home.

Financial workshop session with participants engaged in learning

Interactive Learning Format

Our workshops aren't lecture-style presentations where you sit and take notes for hours. We keep groups small—usually around 15-20 people—so there's actual room for questions and discussion.

Each session includes real case studies. Not hypothetical scenarios, but actual situations we've worked through with clients (anonymized, of course). You'll see how financial concepts apply in practice, not just in theory.

  • Small group sizes for meaningful interaction
  • Take-home resources and templates you can actually use
  • Q&A sessions that don't feel rushed
  • Follow-up email support for questions that come up later

And honestly? There's usually coffee and decent snacks. Small detail, but it matters during a morning session.
