Pranav Chandra, CPA
I started my financial journey the way most people do.
I worked multiple jobs, trying to make rent and wondering if I was ever going to escape the rat race.
but from day one, I had a plan:
spend less than I earned, invest consistently and stay on course.
that simple strategy helped me hit some big milestones:
I became a CPA, got married, had a child, bought a home and steadily kept investing into a growing a portfolio that I once thought was impossible.
my 'calm money' philosophy
Most financial coaching focuses on spending less.
My focus is on helping you live more, by establishing money systems that actually work for your life.
I combine behavior-based coaching with Canadian-specific financial guidance — all designed for people who are serious about change but overwhelmed by where to start.
Here is what you can expect when we work together:
- everything in plain english, no financial jargon
- no minimum amounts needed, start where you are
- easy to understand, measurable milestones
- going beyond budgeting, focus on wealth building
- judgement free coaching, rooted in psychology
- building plans for the real canadian experience

testimonials
arjun
business owner
I used to avoid looking at my personal finances because I was so focused on growing my business.
I was making the mistake of mixing business and personal expenses, then feeling guilty for not knowing where the money was coming and going.
Pranav helped me separate the two, set up a simple system and finally feel like I have direction in my financial life.
lisa
hr manager
I would always feel anxiety when I opened my banking app, afraid of whatever I was going to see. I was so used to having some credit card debt without any real plan or intentions to pay it off.
I was definitely hoping that by ignoring my financial world things would fix themselves.
Pranav was so patient with educating me on personal finance and helped me face my numbers without panic, and build a plan that doesn’t feel restrictive or overwhelming!
sanj
marketing manager
I kept hearing about TFSA, RRSP and ETFs, but I never actually understood how they worked. It felt like everyone knew about them and not knowing was so silly, so I just avoided them.
Pranav explained everything without making me feel like I should already know it.
Now I’ve got investments set up and I’m actually excited to see my net worth rise.
nicholas
consultant
I felt pretty confident in my general financial knowledge, but I wasn’t sure if I was making the right moves day to day.
Pranav gave me a no-nonsense crash course that helped me feel confident in my plan. Now I check in with him a few times a year as a coach and accountability partner.
Honestly, having pranav checking in, has ensured that i keep up with my savings & auto-investing schedule!
lokesh
engineer
I was earning well, but somehow always broke at the end of the month.
It felt like I was failing even though I was supposedly making good money!
Working with Pranav made me realize I wasn’t tracking anything properly. Now I’ve got a reasonable budget and savings plan.
prathna
angel investor
I knew how to analyze companies and make big investment decisions, but my personal finances were chaotic. It was embarrassing, honestly.
Pranav treated it like no big deal. We created a personal dashboard, cleaned things up and now I have a monthly check-in process that keeps me on the right track.
