Leadership Spotlight
Getting to know the person who guides our financial education initiatives
Kieran Blackwood
Senior Financial Strategy Director
Kieran started his career analyzing municipal budgets in Edmonton before moving to corporate finance at a mid-sized manufacturing company. After witnessing too many businesses struggle with basic budget planning, he shifted focus to education. His approach combines practical experience with patient teaching – he believes understanding financial principles shouldn't require an accounting degree.

What Drives Our Team
Practical Application
We don't teach theory in isolation. Every concept comes with real examples from actual budgets we've worked on, mistakes we've seen, and solutions that actually work in practice.
Individual Attention
Everyone learns differently and faces unique financial challenges. Our small team structure means personalized guidance rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
Long-term Perspective
Budget preparation isn't just about the next fiscal year. We help people develop skills and systems that will serve them throughout their careers, regardless of industry changes.
