WELCOME TO SONDER

Personal finance solutions for people who don’t love spreadsheets.

You don’t have to make financial decisions alone.

By taking a close look at your current financial situation, your goals, and your values, we’ll help make sense of where you are today and where you want to be in the future.

There are no cookie-cutter solutions. We understand that every situation is unique, and together we will develop a customized financial plan that works for you. We’ll help you open investment accounts, set up an emergency fund, and schedule automatic transfers and deposits so you know where your money is going each month.

A definition for the English word “sonder” was coined by John Koenig in his 2021 best-selling book, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows:

the realization that each random passerby is the main character in their own story, in which you are just an extra in the background.
— J. Koenig, 2021

At Sonder Consulting, it is a reminder that personal finance is deeply personal, and our approach to coaching is rooted in that understanding.

Are you frazzled by debt repayment strategies? Let’s come up with a plan together.
Are you baffled by retirement dates? Let’s set some clear goalposts and work towards them.

We may even look at a spreadsheet or two… but trust us, it’ll be fun. And we’ll be there the whole time.

At Sonder Consulting, we offer custom solutions that get results.

  • Meet Jackson. Jackson is new to his career and even though he has a steady salary he is unsure where his money goes each month, and his debt keeps piling up…

  • Meet Rae. Rae and their partner are thinking about children, but are feeling unsure about their finances and feel like they are constantly living pay check to pay check with no real plan for the future.

  • Meet Ally. Ally works in a field she loves and is living a lifestyle she really enjoys. She has managed to save a good chunk of money but it is just sitting in her bank account and she is unsure what to do with it, feeling paralyzed by all the options and acronyms.

Why Sonder?

Sonder Consulting was born out of a desire to provide simple, effective personal finance coaching to people that want to build financial security without constantly tracking expenses and savings rates. We believe that personal finance can be exciting and, with the right tools, easy.
