What our clients are saying ...

I found myself opening up to you on issues I usually don't reveal on a first meeting. The beauty of the matter is that sensitive issues like "how much I earn or how much I save" were not brought up at all. It's all about the big picture. In essence, the answers may be there all the time, but you are exactly what most of us need, to bring about financial awareness. Finance has always been a black hole to many, but with you around, life can be much more wonderful and simpler! I just love this holistic approach of yours.

"I really enjoyed our private coaching session. What started as something I was wary of turned into a mind-opening experience. It was scary at first, because I was "forced" to think about financial matters, which I have conveniently pushed to the back of my mind; things that secretly I know I should take an interest in.

Thank you for making me take that big step to take action and take control of my finances. It's something that everyone should do no matter what their status or position. There is no age limit. Ideally it should start with young people. Start the habit and keep at it. However, it is never too late to start.

"Thank you for the valuable financial tips and making me realise the importance of planning for the future. Money may just be pieces of paper. But these dollars and cents are worth more than that - it has the power to make you rich and live comfortably or give you financial ruin and debts for life. The workshop has made me more aware about financial matters i.e. to start reading the financial column, to think twice and do some research before investing in Unit Trust and insurance policies. Thank you." ~ YL Hew

"Thanks for your time, the session with you really created awareness and caution of how to deal with debt. Your workshop actually gave me a chance to listen to others' view on their opinion  of $$$ and also gave me the courage to cut my credit card. Really need your expertise to plan my financing and I am practicing to discipline myself, as advised by you." ~ J. Tan


I want to say how pleased I was to be able to meet up with you for a review of my current insurance coverage. After your review and from your recommendations, I could see that I can save so much money on my insurance premium without having to sacrifice the coverage I am getting now. The money from the savings could enable me to make other investments, which have far better returns. I am glad to have consulted you on my insurance needs and I am now taking action to restructure my insurance coverage. I would definitely recommend anyone to see you if they are not sure about their insurance needs." ~ J. Tan

I first knew Carol when I attended her seminar conducted at Taylor's Business School. The President of TBS was kind enough to invite me. This was the best financial planning seminar I've ever attended. And after a year in college, I find that Carol is the best speaker that was invited to Taylor's. She showed me how important it is to manage my money and how to earn a little extra.

The best part was when we got to calculating "how much you have to save for your retirement". I was shocked when i knew I had to save 4 million$$$$ for my retirement fund. It nearly blew my mind. I really enjoyed that seminar.

As the Vice President of the members' development and welfare department of BE ADP (the Business Entrepreneur Society of the American Degree Program of Taylor's), I've decided to bring in a speaker that will educate business major students of the American Degree Program on personal financial planning as I've discovered that managing money is a critical issue among college students.

The first person on my mind was Ms. Carol Yip. I knew she'd be able to do it and true enough, I've manage to pull her out from her busy schedule to share her knowledge with our students. I'm glad that the seminar of 120 students and lecturers that was conducted recently went on flawlessly. Either than that, Carol was kind enough to give me some personal tutoring on financial planning when we were planning for the seminar. I'm currently applying what I've learned and I'm sure it'll come to a good end. Thanks for the help Carol! and keep it up. Do what you have done for other as what you have done for me.
~ Dexter Cheong
