About Nadia Vanderhall

Most people don\'t need another budget spreadsheet. They need someone who actually gets it — the anxiety, the confusion, the quiet shame that creeps in when you feel like you should have figured this out by now. That\'s where I come in. Not a finance bro — a girl who knows about dough. From the money scroll of social media to your money strategy in your wallet while you build wealth in your pre-rich era. I\'m Nadia Vanderhall — Financial Planner, Educator, LinkedIn Top Voice, and founder of The Brands and Bands Strategy Group. I spent over a decade inside financial services — retail banking, marketing for major institutions, behind campaigns that moved billions. I saw how the system worked, who it was built for, and who it kept leaving out. So I left. And I built something different. I work across three stages of money: → Wallet Creation — budgeting, saving, setting smart priorities → Wealth Creation — investing, retirement planning, big-picture moves → Wealth Management — protecting what you\'ve built through estate planning, insurance, and legacy work Everything I offer is flat-fee and advice-only — the only thing I\'m invested in is helping you understand your money and make smarter moves with it. Ways to work together: Ask Me Anything (AMA) Sessions · Budget Audit · Budget Done For You · Financial Planning · Financial Wellness Workshops + Speaking My work has been featured in The Washington Post, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, CBS News, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Essence, Good Morning America, and more. I\'ve spoken at Google, Meta, General Assembly, Commonwealth, Columbia University, Patelco Credit Union, Atrium\'s Carolinas College of Health Sciences, the National Urban League, and other stages where real money conversations needed to happen. Let\'s connect if you\'re: → A company, ERG, or nonprofit looking to bring financial wellness programming to your team → A conference or organization seeking a speaker who makes money education feel accessible — not intimidating → A brand or agency exploring partnerships, UGC, affiliate/ambassador collaborations, or fractional marketing strategy in the financial wellness, lifestyle, or CPG space → An individual ready to stop winging it and actually get your financial house in order thebrandsandbands.com/contact · h••••@thebrandsandbands.com
