Meet the People Behind zenoravestil
Our team brings together decades of financial expertise, diverse perspectives, and a shared commitment to making weekly budgeting accessible for everyone. We're not just financial advisors – we're people who understand the real challenges of managing money week by week.
Cordelia Mackworth-Young
Chief Financial Strategist
Cordelia joined zenoravestil in early 2024 after spending twelve years helping families restructure their finances at community credit unions across the Midlands. She developed our signature weekly budgeting methodology while working with single parents who needed more frequent financial check-ins than traditional monthly planning allowed.
Her approach focuses on psychological aspects of spending patterns rather than just numbers. "Most people can stick to a budget for three days," she often says. "The real challenge is building habits that work when life gets messy on day four."
Research-Driven Approach
Our team includes former academics from Loughborough University's economics department and financial advisors who've worked directly with over 3,000 UK households. We test every budgeting strategy with real families before recommending it to our community.
Diverse Financial Backgrounds
We've deliberately built a team that includes people who've experienced financial stress firsthand. Three of our core team members have navigated major career transitions, student debt, and unexpected medical expenses – experiences that inform our practical guidance.
Technology Meets Empathy
Our development team works closely with behavioral psychologists to create tools that actually reduce financial anxiety rather than adding complexity. Every feature gets tested with people who describe themselves as "not good with money" before it goes live.
