Company description
Recently Teresa Dentino, Founder and CEO The Financial 411, visited with Michael Finney on KGO to discuss her call for consumer behavior in the new economy and why: "Cash is the NEW Black."
We are the only web destination that is specifically designed for women who are seeking to become truly engaged with their finances. A combination of divorce and outliving their spouses will force nine out of ten women to take control of their families' financial future at some point in their lives. To help the many women who come to this juncture unprepared, we offer a customized approach that is highly divergent from those offered by the major firms and web resources.
By combining our founder's 25 years of experience in the financial industry with exhaustive academic research on how women learn and why they often have a disconnect when it comes to financial matters, we have developed a new kind of financial education. Focusing on financial literacy, it engages women in an experiential learning process that is designed to give them a point of orientation from which they gain the confidence and knowledge to take control.
Through a nascent web portal, individual consultations, strategic partnership with investment firms, and traditional media, we want to help women prosper by bringing them our revolutionary program across all channels.

Business model
The Financial 411, a financial consulting firm, specializes in helping women achieve financial clarity and empowerment. The Financial 411 has previously focused on business to consumer activities, but is pleased to announce its new offering specifically geared towards select venture capitalist, angel investing, and financial and money management firms seeking to understand the techniques and secrets which work when it comes to successfully engaging and advancing the female client in financial processes.
We now provide custom plans to help firms realize how to reach the potential customer base that is the female demographic. With our help, companies are able to reach the women's market and improve their sales and efficiency. We also offer our services to family units and private individuals in specialized consulting programs.
Competitive advantage
Most financial websites and investment firms cater to women by repackaging their content in a pink wrapper. Clearly it requires a more sophisticated approach than this to successfully engage the female client!
Through 25+ years of groundbreaking research and experience, we've learned a lot about the social and psychological barriers that prevent women from getting involved in their finances.
As the only non-sponsored and truly independent financial education platform (and one that is led by a seasoned financial professional), there's currently nothing like ours in the financial world.
When it comes to knowing inside and out the unique approach that helps women engage and feel masterful on their personal finances and investing, Teresa Dentino has an unparalleled 25-year track record of “firsts” in the field of financial education and engagement for women.
Through her extensive hands-on experience and academic studies, Teresa Dentino knows the techniques and secrets which work and those that do not work in order to help women overcome their financial questions and concerns. Why seek the advice of a financially unqualified journalist turned financial “expert” or an inexperienced twenty something when you can call upon an authentic, recognized, and financially- experienced professional voice that appeals universally to women of all ages and backgrounds… and in doing so help all women?
We have cultivated content delivery methods for women that are years ahead of the curve, and we are uniquely positioned to leverage these methods. In addition we have "url's" that can make your financial platform complete.
