Nadia Vanderhall's Linkedin Analytics

Making money make sense—one plan, one person, one paycheck at a time. I’m Nadia Vanderhall, Financial Planner, Educator, and the Founder of The Brands and Bands Strategy Group. I help individuals, families, and organizations navigate the three phases of money through Financial Planning and Education —without jargon, overwhelm, or gatekeeping: - Wallet Creation – Establishing a strong financial foundation through budgeting, saving, and goal-setting - Wealth Creation – Building long-term value through investing, retirement planning, and real estate - Wealth Management – Protecting and sustaining assets for future generations Whether you're making under $100K or just getting serious about your finances, I specialize in breaking down complex money topics into real-life, actionable steps. Because financial clarity shouldn’t be a luxury—it should be standard. Everyone should have access to financial planning and education, not just the affluent. Community Builder. Speaker. Curriculum Creator. Alongside my 1:1 and group financial planning services, I work with companies, ERGs, and nonprofits to create inclusive financial wellness programs. I’ve partnered with organizations like Public Invest, Commonwealth, and Google, helping employees gain confidence with their money —no matter their salary or starting point. Media and Speaking Highlights: - LinkedIn Top Voice - JCSU 40 Under 40 Honoree - Featured in The Washington Post, Fast Company, USA Today, Investopedia, Business Insider, Bloomberg, CBS News, and more - Speaker at The National Urban League, Facebook, Columbia University, and others My Why: After working in financial services and navigating my own money journey during tough times, I realized people don’t just need more money—they need to know how to manage what they have.
