My name is Olu(Tola) Arinola which means “God is wealth” and “Core of Wealth” respectively in the West African language of the Yorubas. I reckon my parents were prophesying into my life when they gave me those names even though I was born in faraway London, England. How else can you explain my studying Economics and later becoming a Chartered Accountant and getting into financial advisory services. I must admit it was my love of math that lead me down those parts coupled with the fact that I had no clear idea what I wanted to be, but an invisible hand led me like the children of Israel were led to the land of promise.

After many years in financial services, I have discovered a huge gap in our level of education on all things financial. So as a coach, speaker, teacher & trainer I help people make sense of their lives & finances and give them the tools to empower them to take control of their lives, finances, career, relationship and health.

“For money to remain a valuable resource, you must master it, see its usefulness, and use it effectively.”

―Pamela Carmichael, Financial Empowerment: Realign Your Finances to God’s Will.

“For the wealthy, money is a tool. For the impoverished, it is the rule.”

― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with “The Divine Presence”

My aim is to make the F word, finance about fun,family,freedom,faith and faithfulness. We need no longer be averse to the F
word but embrace it, as it ultimately leads to a life of fulfillment and
freedom.
