Founder of Clever Girl Finance

Most of us weren’t handed a family playbook for building wealth. We got a few warnings about credit cards, a budgeting tip from an uncle, and… vibes. Meanwhile, the stakes only climbed: rising costs, retirement anxiety, and the unsettling sense that you should know more than you do.

If that feels familiar, you’re not the outlier — you’re the norm. That’s why we’re bringing in someone who’s built her career helping women fill the gaps the “playbook” never covered.

Bola Sokunbi is a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI), finance expert, speaker, and five-time bestselling author. She founded Clever Girl Finance — one of the largest personal finance platforms for women in the U.S. — and her work has been featured across Time, Money Magazine, CNBC, Forbes, Fast Company, Essence, Good Morning America, and more.

Bola was named one of Money’s Most Influential Women by GoBankingRates and earned the Financial Education Instructor of the Year Award from the National Financial Educators Council. Clever Girl Finance also holds the NFEC’s Distinguished Personal Finance Content designation for its research-backed education.
