The Basics of Our 411 Success

What We Do

We are living in an increasingly complex financial world. To help you navigate through the often confusing nuts and bolts that accompany personal finance and investing, the Bay Area’s women's financial education pioneer, consultant, author, and keynote speaker, Teresa Dentino, created The Financial 411 to ensure that you get "the 411" about your finances in the first non sales-oriented and exclusively women-focused platform.

The Financial 411 helps women as an:

• Financial planner
• Financial adviser
• Financial analyst
• Financial coach
• Financial mediator
• Financial divorce analyst
• Financial expert witness

What Women Want ... What Women Should Want

Rather than advocating that women must become experts in order to succeed, our message is refreshingly simple yet substantive. By understanding women’s needs and listening to what they are saying, we provide what you need in order to become more informed and to stay engaged in certain critical financial practices.
