About Us - moon-sequoia

Our Mission

Financial literacy shapes life outcomes, yet it remains absent from most educational curricula. We founded moon-sequoia to address this gap, providing accessible, practical financial education to learners across all life stages.

Our programmes translate complex financial concepts into actionable knowledge. Whether a child learning to save pocket money or an adult planning for retirement, each student develops competencies they can apply immediately.

Based in central Manchester, we have grown from a single evening workshop to a comprehensive academy serving thousands of students annually. Our instructors bring decades of combined experience from banking, investment, and financial planning sectors.

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Accessibility

Financial education should be available to everyone, regardless of background or prior knowledge. We design courses for real people, not finance professionals.

Practicality

Theory without application serves no one. Every session includes exercises students can use with their own finances that same day.

Integrity

We maintain strict independence from financial product providers. Our recommendations serve student interests alone, never commission targets.

Empowerment

Our goal is self-sufficiency. Graduates leave with the confidence to make informed financial decisions without ongoing dependency on advisers.

Our Approach

What makes moon-sequoia different from traditional financial education

Real Scenarios

Case studies drawn from actual Manchester households facing common financial challenges, not textbook abstractions.

Flexible Scheduling

Evening and weekend sessions designed for working professionals and parents with busy schedules.

Small Class Sizes

Maximum fifteen students per session ensures personalised attention and opportunity for individual questions.

Our Manchester Home

Located in the heart of Manchester on Deansgate, our teaching facility offers modern classrooms equipped with the latest educational technology. The central location provides easy access via Metrolink, bus, and rail connections from across Greater Manchester.

We chose Manchester as our base because of the city's diverse population and entrepreneurial spirit. From young families in the suburbs to startup founders in the Northern Quarter, Mancunians understand the value of continuous learning.

Our community partnerships extend across the region, with occasional workshops delivered at libraries, community centres, and schools throughout Greater Manchester.
