Our Story

Founded in 2016 by a collective of educators, financial planners, and community organizers, Master Your Finances began as neighborhood workshops in Makati City. Today, we serve clients nationwide through blended learning, digital playbooks, and on-site mentoring. We are proud to collaborate with barangays, cooperatives, universities, and corporate partners to normalize responsible financial conversations.

“We believe every Filipino deserves access to trustworthy, culturally-relevant financial guidance. By building literacy, we empower communities to thrive together.”
