ABOUT SOPHIA

Inclusive financial wellbeing for every organisation

Sophia is the launchpad for your team’s investing lives. We deliver personal financial education that creates momentum for investing action through expert-led courses, live workshops, money coaching, and community support. Built for women, proven for everyone.

Our mission

Women now control or influence an estimated US$30 trillion in assets globally – yet most financial education still isn't built for them.

We built Sophia to fix that.

What we found was that when you design financial education that strips the jargon, builds a real community, and meets people where they are – it doesn't just work for women. It works for everyone.
