How We Started
Back in 2019, I was working with small business owners who kept asking the same question: "What does this actually mean?" They'd receive investment proposals filled with jargon, but no one took the time to explain the basics.
That's when I realized there was a real gap. People needed someone to translate financial language into everyday terms. Not just definitions, but practical understanding they could use in real conversations with advisors and brokers.
The turning point came in early 2020. A client called me after successfully negotiating better terms on a commercial loan. She said our terminology sessions gave her the confidence to ask the right questions. That conversation convinced me we were onto something important.
We officially launched Gontiago Qorimido in 2021, focusing specifically on investment terminology education. Our goal was simple: help people understand financial language well enough to make informed decisions about their money.
Since then, we've worked with over 200 professionals across British Columbia and Alberta. Each program is different because everyone comes with different experience levels and specific goals.
