Financial planning, at its best, is about giving people the clarity and confidence to move forward. Uno Advisers has embraced this philosophy by making education its cornerstone, reaching students, employees, women, and communities across Malaysia with messages that are simple, relatable, and empowering. Their inclusive approach ensures no one is left behind on the journey toward financial independence. Founded in 2021, Uno Advisers is Malaysia’s first licensed financial planning firm for women, built on the belief that financial freedom enables people to live fearlessly and with purpose.

Meeting Malaysians Where They Are

Uno Advisers recognised early that financial literacy must be part of everyday life, not a subject reserved for specialists. Its website, videos, podcasts, and social media posts form a library of impartial guidance that people can return to anytime. Articles in The Star, The Edge, and Focus Malaysia tackled topics such as tax mistakes, pension reform, and financial stress, while content on SAYS.com broke down savings and investing into tips designed for younger readers. Appearances on Astro, Raaga, and BFM, along with lively reels on social media, made money conversations accessible to households across the country. By weaving content into familiar, relatable, and trustworthy digital spaces, Uno Advisers ensures that learning feels approachable, practical, consistent, and always within reach for everyone, regardless of age or background.

Education that Resonates

The firm’s impact has been most visible in classrooms, workplaces, and national events where conversations come alive. At Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, INTI International University & Colleges, UCSI University, Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology, and Sunway University, students and staff were introduced to the psychology of money, fintech’s impact on personal finance, and the importance of building good financial habits early. Retirement planning was also reframed as a journey worth starting young, instilling the idea that preparation today leads to freedom tomorrow.

This focus on empowerment extended to working adults, with employees at Pos Malaysia and Givaudan gaining practical guidance on budgeting, credit management, and debt control. Uno Advisers also addressed public audiences at the Securities Commission Malaysia’s InvestSmart Fest, volunteering their time through the Finplan4U initiative to make licensed advice accessible.

A distinctive part of this educational mission has been its commitment to women’s financial independence. Collaborations with Lean In Malaysia led to initiatives such as Her Money Matters and Girl Math: Glowing Up Finances, which created safe and vibrant spaces for women to explore money issues with confidence. These conversations took place online and in person, proving that financial literacy is not only technical but also deeply personal, with the power to shape confidence and open new possibilities. Guided by a purpose to represent clients with empathy and professionalism, Uno Advisers serves as a one-stop, trustworthy space for anyone navigating financial decisions.

Building Impact Together

Collaboration and service are woven into everything Uno Advisers does. Partnerships with organisations such as Yayasan Perpaduan Sarawak created webinars on saving and wealth accumulation for families, while platforms like DoitDuit gave Malaysians the chance to ask anonymous questions and engage in honest conversations about money. Active contributions to Malaysia 50+ Expo 2024 and outreach by Bank Negara and EPF extended the firm’s support to retirees and older communities, often using interactive tools and games to make learning fun and approachable. These sessions also fostered trust, encouraged multigenerational conversations, and deepened financial understanding across generations.

The same spirit of service drives the team to volunteer pro bono at public events, mentor students, judge competitions, and sponsor activities. These efforts reflect a belief that financial education is a shared responsibility and that by working with others, knowledge can reach further and make a greater difference. Their collaborative model builds lasting impact that strengthens both individuals and communities.

A Journey of Confidence

Through digital content, grassroots workshops, women’s empowerment programmes, and retirement readiness initiatives, Uno Advisers has shown how education transforms financial planning into something practical and human. Its efforts remind Malaysians that money is not just about figures on a page but about clarity, resilience, and choices that shape better lives.
