My name Harprit Gill and I am Financial Advisor/Educator, Community Leader and Entrepreneur. I have taken my passion of community work & entrepreneurship and combined it with my love of educating people on financial literacy and providing financial solutions. As an individual who grew up in a marginalized community, I noticed the lack of literacy and the barriers to access sound financial resources and advisors. I decided to take the problem in my own hands and bridge the gaps to ensure our communities have a trusted individual/team who is/are relatable and take a bottom up approach to financial planning. I am on a mission to changing lives of everyday individuals and families. My goal is to revolutionize communities by teaching people how to build and sustain wealth through a holistic community-based approach.
