About the founder
Built by someone who lived it.
Hi, I'm Bignon Deguenon. I went from working $10-an-hour jobs to a $200K+ Finance Director seat in corporate America. The system wasn't designed for people like me, but it can be understood, and it can be used.
Clear Money exists because too many smart, hard-working people stay stuck behind a wall of jargon, shame, and bad advice. I'm taking what I learned the hard way (and what I use to coach my own family) and putting it in plain English, with tools that actually work.
“You can't build wealth on top of a leak. First we stop the bleeding. Then we build.”
