Decades of real relationships

Teaching financial education in the workplace since 1989, long before “financial wellness” became an established workplace-benefits category.

We've been independent and self-funded from day one. No investors to answer to, no products to sell, just our clients and their employees. That's why our clients stay.

We started in 1989 teaching classes out of a garage, because people deserved education before making big money decisions. Our story →

Boutique by design

As a small, independent firm, we can say yes where larger providers can't. We customize existing courses, create new ones around your benefits and your people, and build programs for any size organization, from a single 30-minute session to a year-round series.

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us about your people

    A short needs analysis covers your benefits, locations and what employees are asking about.

  2. 2

    Get a tailored program

    One webinar or a year-long series, with registration (single sign-on available), promotion and workbooks handled for you, plus monthly or quarterly feedback reports.

  3. 3

    Learn live, then on demand

    Employees ask a CFP® professional their real questions, recordings cover anyone who missed it, and 1:1 coaching with RightCapital goes deeper.

Real questions, answered by a real CFP® professional
