About

The FI Woman was founded in 2015 by Ramat Oyetunji from a desire to help women learn how to take control of their finances and achieve financial independence.

​

Her own financial journey began after experiencing an unexpected layoff early in her career. The experience motivated Ramat to deepen her financial knowledge and become more intentional about building wealth and financial security. Twenty years later, she achieved financial independence and retired from her corporate career at age 44.

​

Today, that lived experience is complemented by decades of professional and financial expertise. Her career has spanned engineering, corporate leadership, financial services, entrepreneurship, and financial education. Through The FI Woman, Ramat brings a practical and relatable approach to helping people build wealth, elevate their financial knowledge, and achieve financial wellness on their own terms.

​

Ramat holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA, both from the University of Maine. Her financial services experience includes working with Edward Jones as a licensed stockbroker and investment adviser representative and founding and operating a Registered Investment Advisory firm. She is also a Certified Personal Finance Counselor (CPFC®) and Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®).

 

Ramat works with schools, groups, and individuals to make personal finance engaging, empowering, and easier to understand. From speaking and financial education programs to select 1:1 coaching engagements, her work is designed to help people strengthen their financial knowledge, confidence, and ability to make informed financial decisions. She extends her knowledge and expertise to a broad audience through her seven personal finance books, including a children's book co-authored with her daughter when she was nine years old.
