Teresa Dentino’s Summary

Teresa Dentino, CEO/Founder of The Financial 411, has just published the first book in a series specifically created for women who want to get financially savvy.

Her programs have helped thousands of women take control of their financial future.

Through research and experience, we've learned a lot about the social and psychological barriers that prevent women from getting involved in their finances. Our program addresses those barriers and takes all the intimidation out of the educational process. There's currently nothing like it in the financial world programming.

We have cultivated content delivery methods for women that are years ahead of the curve, and we are uniquely positioned to leverage these methods.
