"Bola Sokunbi couldn't find money books for women like her, so she wrote one!" - Forbes

From the Inside Flap

Praise for

Clever Girl Finance

"An essential guide to financial well-being for women of all ages. Bola's book expertly demystifies handling your money, getting out of debt and creating a sound financial future for yourself."
Farnoosh Torabi, financial expert and host of the So Money podcast

"Women are the economic engines of their communities; that's why it's so important they have tools to ensure success. Clever Girl Finance is just such a tool, a wonderful, interactive guide through the daunting world of personal finance. A clever girl will find this book proves, 'to know better is to do better'."
Monique Nelson, Chair and CEO, UniWorld Group

What's keeping you from real financial success?

You're a smart woman. So why do you find financial matters just a little intimidating? Don't worrywe've all been there! We work hard for our money. We're supporting families or sharing the financial obligations of our households. However, we're usually paid less than men and we typically live longer, making our money management needs unique. And that's why it's time for YOU to master the essentials of money: managing it, saving it, investing it, and building a secure financial future for yourself.

Self-made money expert Bola Sokunbi developed Clever Girl Finance to meet those objectives. In this book, she helps you identify your personal needs, challenges, and relationship with debt. She demystifies investing. She coaches you on salary negotiations. And at every step, she shares the experiences of women just like you. It's not a magic bullet. It's a process Bola used to establish her own financial security, and it can work for you too!

Good Foundation for the Right Mindset to Tackling Finances as a Woman

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book as it got me into the right mindset, and the supplementary tools (online courses, podcasts, etc) really helped put my head in the game, and gave me courage to do the right things! My problem with my finance was my past mantra of "out of sight out of mind". I avoided looking at my finances on a daily basis, I never trusted myself with money. I saw money as "evil" due to my upbringing. The book is pretty basic, but the narrative was kind and understanding- this is what I needed, a bit of empathy. A bit of "it's ok if you've screwed up in the past, you are not alone- what matters is what you do next"- I did not need "tough love" so if that is what you need this is not right book.. After finishing this book, I continued to listen to Bola's podcasts, joined her FB Group and took a course too, and these are great to keep my head in the game. Since reading this book, I have paid off all my credit card debt (totaling around $6K) in just under 2 months, I created a budget, I now track my daily spending, and most importantly, I became comfortable about my finances and trusting myself to make better choices. I am ready to move to the next level which is increasing my credit score so I can refinance my car and student loans, and focusing on investments. I will be purchasing the next book. I am extremely grateful for this book as it became a kickstart to improving my financial health.

I started reading last night and am continuing this morning. This book is very enjoyable to read. It is well written concise and clear.

One thing I find very important is the author emphasizes that financial goals take time. As a 29 year old I often feel like I am behind where I want to be on my finances. However, one of the most important values of the book is to start where you are and take pride in the fact you are taking control of your situation.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking to self improve. It never hurts to learn more about financial literacy. The author also offers free classes on her website. This book is very well worth the money. It’s something every woman at any age should read at least once.

Its great for those who have no idea what they are doing and think they dont make enough money to pay off debts fast (<1 year +). Tells stories of those who make 6 figures that takes years to pay off debt and then their accomplishments, opening a business, investing, etc after those years. Life isn't over because of high debts. Very reassuring.

I ordered this book in the middle of May during the pandemic and was finished in two days! I stumbled upon Bola's podcast a couple of weeks prior and once I found out she had a book, I figured I should read considering I had more time on my hands. It was totally worth it! This book helped me shift my mindset quickly, so much so I even paid off two of my credit cards that I had a $5,000 balance on by July. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is looking to get their finances in order and the book is so well written it feels like your friend is just talking to you.

I don't do reviews often but this one deserves its recognition. I am a grad student and will graduate this month. The book helped me to design my own budgeting plan and foresee any emergency funds I may need to have in the future. Such as my student loan and bills. The book also helped me gain perspective and clarity on my money values aka what I'd like to spend, save and invest towards for. The book also includes on how to budget with a partner, children, pets, etc. At the end of each chapter has journaling prompts to guide you on discovering your money history, money values and so on. The whole book felt like a supportive and non-judgmental friend guiding and teaching you.

Very well written. This book does more than just scratch the surface, it gets to the core of money problems and gives you valuable, helpful and common sense solutions to solve them.
Once I get my finances in order and working for me, I will be looking into the other two Clever Girl Finance books "Side Hustle" and "Grow your Money", (not buying them on credit!)
Thank you Bola, your a Godsent!

Si quieres empezar con el tema de finanzas personales, ¡tienes que comprar este libro!
Si bien la calidad de impresión que da AMAZOn no es la mejor, su contenido es invaluable.
Escuché la versión de audio antes de la pandemia, y gracias a sus consejos ahorré lo suficiente para librar la situación.
En verdad me cambió la vida y no dejo de recomendarlo.

The best financial book you will ever read! For those who want to get started straight away

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2019

I have read a lot of financial books and most of them tell you the what but leave out the HOW! Bola really wrote this book for her audience in mind. She covers the key financial principles explaining each area in detail and then at the end of chapter you have actions to take to help you on your way to financial success! This book has become my financial bible. It's also very compact, easy to read and will fit in most handbags and purses! I read it on the train to work, during my lunch break, in between meetings and before bed. If you are not sure where to start with managing your finances, start here!
