Untangle Money - Money for Women

The Financial Services industry is failing women. 

Why?  Because the financial plans that are made in the industry are made for men and modelled on a man’s life.  They don’t work for women because women have different financial lives.  

That’s not just my opinion.  The World Economic Forum agrees with me.  

Women not having access to affordable financial plans that reflect their unique lives and economic situations is a major impediment to achieving financial independence. Affordable financial plans are a real need and women are starting to speak out. 87% of women want help with their finances.

That’s why Kristine Beese started Untangle Money. Our mission is to help people – especially women – be financially independent and ready for retirement, while still leaving room for joyful spending. 

Untangle Money creates custom Money Plans that combine both budgeting and retirement planning in one plan. We’re finalizing our new product, the Untangle MINI Self-Serve. It is an automated online financial tool that will help women across Canada understand what they can do with their money today, and how to invest for the future.

We are asking for your support on our journey to help 1 million Canadians feel less stressed and more confident, about their Money. With this campaign, you can pre-order the Untangle Mini Self-Serve by clicking one of the links on the right-hand-side (or on the Rewards Tab above).  

Through these links, you can:

• Contribute money to our fundraising campaign (known as crowdfunding) 

• Pre-purchase the Untangle MINI for yourself or a loved one 

• Donate Untangle MINIs to young women, helping them start their financial journey 

You will be joining the hundreds of women, and couples, whom we’ve already helped. And these clients reports that they felt more confident, and 30% less stressed, about their money after completing their Untangle MINIs. 

With your support we'll get a jump start on helping Canadian women, one Untangle MINI at a time. You can help us reach the $25,000 we need to launch the Untangle MINI Self-Serve automated solution.

Why Women?

Women face many challenges when it comes to money.  We pay more for goods and services, (known as the pink tax), we go into industries that pay less overall, and we earn less for equal work, we are more likely to take time off for child-care or elder-care responsibilities, and we don’t accelerate in our careers as quickly as men do.  All of this adds up to the Gender Wealth Gap.

FOR EVERY DOLLAR A MAN HAS IN NET WORTH A WOMAN HAS $0.32.  AND THE GAP IS GROWING!

At Untangle Money, we think women are worth more than that.  That’s why we’re helping women understand what to do with the money they have today, and how it will impact their future.  

And unlike typical financial planners, you don’t need hundreds of thousands of dollars. Quite the opposite; our solution is developed for average Canadians.  So, it doesn’t matter what you do for a living or how much you have in the bank.  The Untangle Mini Self-Serve is your starting point on your road to financial freedom.

Who is talking about us?

We’ve already gotten lots of traction. We’ve been featured in the financial press, and we’ve even been on Dragon’s Den! We’ve worked with 3 of Canada’s 10 largest employers. We’ve worked with several women’s organizations, and we’ve worked with some of Canada’s best educational institutions. 

Untangle Money Team:

When Untangle Money's Founder, Kristine Beese, was an engineer, she didn’t know what to do with her finances.  So she went to the bank, she had a condescending conversation with an employee there, and she left feeling pretty small. Later she got her MBA and spent her next 15 years working in the finance industry. (If you’re curious – she worked on Canada’s largest trading floor, then became a stock analyst, and later, she invested money for wealthy Canadians). 

She is joined by a powerhouse team of dedicated women and men, who are changing how financial services are delivered.
