About Us

Empowering women to ditch debt, save money and build real wealth!

Now more than ever, women are focused on their finances and prioritizing their financial well-being.

Clever Girl Finance® is one of the largest personal finance media/education platforms for women in the U.S. and we have consistently been voted one of the best finance websites for women by the Plutus Awards celebrating excellence in financial media.

Clever Girl Finance has also earned the Distinguished Personal Finance Content designation from the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) after rigorous review and has proven its competency in providing financial education that aligns with industry best practices and research-based education principles.

Founded by Bola Sokunbi, we are a mission-driven company aimed at providing women with much-needed financial guidance and support to build financial confidence and make smart money decisions in their day-to-day lives.

We do this through our completely free resources including personal finance courses, one-on-one mentor calls, articles, audio, and video content, an incredibly supportive community, and more.

Through our approach, we support our community in a fun, engaging, relatable, and non-judgmental way.

Our team is dedicated to helping women to become accountable, ditch debt, save money, and build real wealth.
