The Smartfino course structure

What will your child learn?

We teach them how to manage money in real life. Not just theory, but decisions they will use for a lifetime

Session 1 - 60 minutes

Financial basics

Where money comes from and why it does not appear endlessly from a card. The child learns the difference between a need and a want, before asking or spending. First step: understanding what they hold in their hand.

Session 2 - 60 minutes

Personal budget

Here the money becomes theirs, with rules. They learn to split what they receive, to save for a concrete goal and to wait until they reach it. Not theory, but a real budget they manage on their own.

Session 3 - 60 minutes

The first earning

The moment the child moves from “asking” to “creating”. We help them turn an idea or a passion into a first earning, however small. The amount does not matter, what they discover about themselves does.

Session 4 - 60 minutes

Smart decisions

The teenager who will sign their first contract starts forming now. They learn to ask questions before saying yes and to tell a calculated risk from a momentary impulse.

About the founder of Smartfino

I am Ancuța Luciana Pavel, economist and licensed chartered accountant. For over 15 years I have worked with money: accounting, law, public procurement, European funds. And with all that training, nothing I know about money did I learn in school.

As parents, we invest in our children more than ever — schools, activities, courses. But the relationship with money remains almost always uncovered. And the beliefs we grew up with, “it is not for us”, “we cannot afford it”, do not disappear with age. They turn into decisions and reach, without us wanting it, our children.

I built Smartfino to break the pattern. I take everything I learned in 15 years of numbers and financial decisions and translate it for a child — through games, examples and real situations.

Because the difference is not between a child who has and one who does not. It is between a child who asks and one who creates.
