Sola Adesakin is a Chartered Accountant by profession and a Financial Literacy Enthusiast by passion. She started out her career as an Accountant and got a headstart with many opportunities and good jobs that provided her a decent salary. She was always in debt, had no savings and was always agitated. The consequences of her financial illiteracy soon showed up and she bore them shamefacedly. Her life experiences made her realize the formal education system does not equip one with what it takes to manage and multiply money. Financial literacy isn’t acquired merely by attending school. Winning with your money is a different ball game entirely. After reading a book that simplified money management and emphasized the need to have the right money mindset, she began to take her finances more seriously. After mastering money matters, she began to teach others around her. This effort is what has metamorphosed into Smart Stewards, a tech-enabled Financial Literacy organization that currently provides financial literacy courses, communities, content and coaching to people in over 30 countries. The highlight of her career began about 3 years ago when she setup of the Smart Investment Club. In only 3 years of existence of The Smart Investment Club, her circa 8,000-member community of professionals was able to invest in local and global opportunities in millions of dollars. She has also published eight (8) books to teach financial literacy to people at different levels and in all age brackets. Her work has been featured on Print and TV Media in Nigeria and around Africa.
