The People Behind Your Financial Growth
Meet the dedicated professionals who bring decades of combined experience to help you navigate the complex world of personal finance and income optimization.
Cordelia Blackthorne
Chief Financial Strategist & Founder
With over 15 years in financial planning and wealth management, Cordelia founded sovenarithuqal in 2019 after witnessing too many Canadians struggle with outdated financial advice. Her background spans everything from corporate treasury management to personal financial coaching.
What sets Cordelia apart? She actually lived through the financial challenges most of our clients face. After losing her job during the 2008 recession, she rebuilt her career by mastering the very income optimization strategies we now teach. That real-world experience shapes every program we offer.
Cordelia holds her CFA designation and regularly speaks at financial literacy conferences across Western Canada. When she's not analyzing market trends, you'll find her hiking the Rocky Mountains or testing new budgeting apps (she's tried 47 so far).
Our Team Philosophy
We believe financial education should feel like having coffee with a knowledgeable friend, not sitting through a stuffy boardroom presentation. Every team member brings their own story of financial transformation – because we've learned that the best teachers are those who've walked the path themselves.
Our diverse backgrounds mean we understand different perspectives on money. From recent graduates drowning in student loans to mid-career professionals feeling stuck, we've been there. This isn't just our job – it's our mission to democratize financial literacy in Canada.
Personal Experience First
Every strategy we teach has been tested in real life by our team members. We share what actually works, not just what looks good on paper.
Canadian Context Always
Tax laws, investment options, and economic realities are uniquely Canadian. We focus exclusively on strategies that work within our financial system.
Practical Over Perfect
We'd rather you implement an 80% solution today than wait for the perfect plan that never happens. Progress beats perfection every time.
What Drives Us Every Day
Transparency
No hidden fees, no complicated jargon, no unrealistic promises. We explain everything in plain English and show you exactly how strategies work.
Accessibility
Financial education shouldn't be a privilege. We design our programs for real people with real budgets, not just those who can afford expensive advisors.
Continuous Learning
Markets change, tax laws evolve, and new opportunities emerge. We stay on top of everything so you don't have to become a financial expert overnight.
