Finally feel in control of your money with…
MONEY 180®
This experience helps young professionals in their 20s and 30s who are tired of feeling fed up with their finances live their desired lifestyle and build lasting wealth.
Student loan forgiveness didn't happen. We followed the rules, checked all the boxes, and yet, here we are, drowning in debt. The economy? Well, let's just say it's not exactly handing out opportunities like candy. The dream of homeownership feels more like a distant fantasy, and don't even get me started on inflation. It's like we're stuck in a financial quicksand, struggling to gain any traction.
In the words of Andra Day, many of us are broken down and tired of living life on a merry go round. It can feel like you’re walking in circles when it comes to your money, worn out yet getting nowhere fast… but it doesn’t have to be like this.
Is this you?
✨ Nobody talked to you about money growing up, and they certainly didn’t teach you this in school.
✨ You’re fed up with your current money situation and know you could be doing so much more, but you don’t even know where to start. You’re tired of getting dribs and drabs of impractical money information from “pros” you don’t know you can trust.
✨ You want to redefine success on your own terms and take control of your financial destiny, despite the state of the economy.
✨ You want to make sure your money is going to its highest and best use, and you’re ready for change.
✨ You may not come from a wealthy family, but one thing’s for sure - you’re going to make sure a wealthy family comes from you.
✨ You’ve seen the havoc that poor finances can wreak on family systems, and you want to be part of the solution.
Let’s flip the script on ‘em.
You’ll leave the MONEY 180® experience with
✅ Clarity: an unquestioned understanding of your financial situation, goals, and the steps needed to achieve them
✅ Confidence: trusting yourself and your abilities to manage your money effectively, knowing that you have the knowledge, skills, and support systems in place to navigate any challenges that may arise
✅ Control: having mastery over your financial situation and the ability to influence your financial outcomes rather than feeling at the mercy of external circumstances

Who will you be learning from?
Akeiva M. Ellis
MSFP, CPA/PFS, CFP®, ChSNC®
Hey! 👋🏽 I’m Akeiva. I’m a former financial planner and money coach for young professionals in their 20s and 30s, and a proud daughter of immigrants. 🇹🇹
Some of my personal money wins include:
Becoming a homeowner at the age of 23
Increasing my credit score by 94 points in three months
Paying off my car note almost three years early
Together with my husband, cash flowing our $40k wedding without going into debt, paying off $90k of student loans in 18 months, and growing our net worth $180k in 3 years.
… and I did all of this while facing a mountain of student loan debt, giving away 10% of my gross income, and working a regular (not six-figure) job.
My husband and I breathe easy knowing that we’re in rock solid financial shape if anything were to happen - a job loss, a health emergency, (a global pandemic, anyone?). Our work and legacy has our family learning more, sharing more about money - something we did not do growing up! I know that my future children won’t have the same money struggles that I did. We’re closing the racial wealth gap. This feeling? Indescribable.
You might read this and think “this could never be my life”. These goals might seem a million miles away or something you only see in Forbes articles. I’m here to tell you that it’s absolutely possible. You just need the right guidance and accountability.
I’ve spent years doing all the Googling, YouTubing (is that a word?!), certifications, degrees and schooling so that you don’t have to! Lean on my personal and professional experiences to get you where you want to be with your money.
As seen in:
“You are wise beyond your years and you taking the time to empower others with what you know is a blessing. I love the broad spectrum of topics you covered because it provided a foundation for me to build off of and not go into these things blind…I'm extremely grateful for having been a part of this experience!”
- T.F.

How long do I have access to this program?
You'll have lifetime access to the core curriculum along with any future upgrades and changes we make to the program. You'll have 6-month access to the live monthly group coaching sessions and the private community.
How long does this program take to complete?
I would budget about 12 hours to go through all of the modules and implement the action steps. Most people complete one module per week, finishing the core program in six weeks.
Who is this program for?
This program is perfect for young adults in their 20s and 30s who are new to this whole money thing and who are ready to invest in themselves and do. the. work. You realize that nothing good ever comes easy, and you’re motivated to make major changes in your financial life. You value the accountability, expertise, and support that this program provides.
Who is this program NOT for?
Those looking for the next get-rich-quick scheme or aren't looking for a comprehensive approach to money (one that isn't focused just on investing!). The topics covered in the program aren’t necessarily the “sexiest” or what all the influencers are raving about, but they work, and I promise that the content is super-dee-duper engaging!
This program is also not for defeatists! It's a-okay to vent and complain every once in a while, but if you're only interested in blaming the system without finding a way forward, this may not be the best fit for you.
Does enrolling in this program make you my financial planner/advisor?
NO. Enrolling in this program does not constitute a financial advisor relationship. We do not provide financial advice and you are responsible for procuring these services at your own will and discretion if needed. We are a financial education and coaching company and this program is for informational purposes only.
I wouldn't consider myself to be a young adult. Is this for me?
My own mother and cousin (who are in their 60s) went through this program and still got a TON of value from it! That being said, if the program doesn't turn out to be what you expected, please reference our refund policy below.
Why should I pay for this? Can't I learn all of this for free elsewhere?
Sure! What you can’t get for free? A cohesive strategy, priceless time savings achieved by avoiding the Google rabbit hole, and access to an award-winning (& one of the nation's youngest) CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.
What if I'm not satisfied with the program?
We want to ensure you feel that this program is a good use of your hard earned dollars.
If the program isn't what you thought it would be, let us know within 14 calendar days of purchase. We'll issue you a full refund, on the condition that you've at least given the program a fair shot by completing the first two modules of the course curriculum.
