Finance District

Grant AlcottInvesting lead

Grant started out crunching research reports and realized the part he enjoyed most was explaining them to people outside the office. He spent the next decade running plain-language investing workshops and still believes patience is the most underrated skill in money.

Nadia VolkovBudgeting lead

Nadia kept the books for a neighborhood grocery co-op for fifteen years before moving into one-on-one budget counselling. She is known for budgets that bend instead of break, because she builds in room for birthdays, car repairs and the occasional treat.

Ravi AnandCrypto lead

Ravi began his career hunting for security flaws in software and moved into studying how digital-asset systems fail. He sees his job as helping people understand the technology and its risks clearly enough to make their own careful decisions.

Helen FrostInsurance lead

Helen started as a claims adjuster and kept meeting people who had no idea what their policies said until something went wrong. Her English degree finally came in handy when she began rewriting policy explanations so ordinary people could follow them.
