On October 3, 2024, we proudly and gratefully celebrated the launch of our book in honor of our 25th anniversary at Poundwise Financial Coaching. This special edition, titled “The Value of Money”, features 25 carefully selected client stories that together paint a beautiful and diverse picture of our clients and the society in which we operate. Each story highlights, in its own unique way, the value that money can have in people’s lives.
The interviews for the book were conducted by Marc van der Vuurst, who found it inspiring to hear how each client has their own perspective on the value of money. The photos in the book were taken by Arianne, who captured the individuals in a pure and authentic manner. Her images add depth to the stories and complete the publication. The book was created in collaboration with the advertising agency Switch, who compiled all the stories and brought them together with beautiful design, making it a cohesive whole.
The launch was a special occasion to reflect on the past 25 years with the clients who shared their stories with us. Of course, we deeply appreciate all of our clients, even those who are not specifically featured in the book. Your trust and stories form the foundation of our work and are invaluable to all of us. The highlight of the launch was when Marc handed the first copy to his mother, who has been his support and pillar throughout the years.
The book is exclusive and not for sale; it is a gift for our clients. When you have an appointment with us at the office, you will receive a copy as a token of our gratitude and appreciation.
With this milestone behind us, we are excited for the next 25 years. Thank you to all our clients for your years of trust and support!

That’s why we’re called Poundwise Financial Coaching.
