Cindy Couyoumjianfounder of Cinergy Financial, with over 36 years of experienceis on a mission to empower women to stop being spectators and enter the financial arena; to stand up and assert their inalienable right to financial self-determination. Although today in the US, women are making gains in higher education, hold corporate positions, and are successful leaders, men still control most of the household wealth.
Yet women are powerful agents of change with boundless potential in the financial realm. In The Rise of Women and Wealth, Cindy shows that by confronting Americas patriarchal past, women can
- become financially literate;
- reclaim the power and liberty that have been taken away;
- embrace a financial future filled with endless possibilities;
- strongly affirm, Yes, I can.
Women everywhere must find the courage, strength, and inspiration to move forward by understanding the past. Cindys message is a hopeful one, filled with intuitive truths about a brighter tomorrow for women and their financial power and freedom.
Cindy Couyoumjian is a Registered Representative offering securities and advisory services through Independent Financial Group LLC (IFG), a Registered Investment Adviser. Member FINRA/SIPC. Cinergy Financial Greenleaf Book Group Press, R. F. Georgy, and IFG are unaffiliated.
