Elaine King, a bilingual Certified Financial Planner Professional and expert in family business, is on a mission to change all of this. In an ideal world, women and the Latinx community would have better access to education and resources that would help them become successful financially. Elaine King is contributing to make that world a reality!
Recently, she partnered with Intuit Turbo Tax to provide Latino youth with access to educational content. As part of the program, Intuit and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation gave higher education scholarships to Latino students. Specifically, Elaine King, alongside Miguel Burgos, CFP, led a webinar to educate the youth and parents on family and money matters. From budgeting to understanding credit and financial and tax planning, the webinar prepared Latino youth for success.
Intuit also featured Elaine King on their blog, where she told the story of two successful women who inspired her growing up. Through telling these stories, King hopes to inspire other women in their journeys to financial success.
