Thinking of becoming a financial coach?
Train with us and join our thriving community
Financial coaching is a rapidly developing field in the UK, with huge momentum. Founded over 20 years ago by Simonne Gnessen as the first financial coaching company in the UK, Wise Monkey continues to grow and be at the forefront of this exciting movement.
When you join our immersive training, you will learn how to empower others to develop their practical and emotional relationship with money - without advising them on financial products.
It's likely to be a profound experience for you, too.
