About Me

Welcome to SavvyOlu, where finance meets simplicity. My name is Olu Ojo (full name – Oluwaseyi), and I’m a chartered accountant with a CPA designation and a testament to financial transformation. Having once grappled with over $100,000 in debt, I experienced first-hand the stress and anxiety that come with financial mismanagement. It was a journey that compelled me to reorganize my finances drastically, cut down on spending, and apply the very income-generating strategies I now share on this site I founded to become entirely debt-free.

My passion for personal finance and investment was kindled early, reading books on wealth and finance as a teenager—a practice that has profoundly influenced my reading and investment strategies to this day. After years of making poor investment decisions and living beyond my means, I turned my financial life around. In 2023, my investment portfolio in the U.S. equities and stock market outperformed the S&P 500 by a notable 10%. As an active believer in value and income investing, I see these approaches as vital pathways to wealth creation and sustaining passive income.

Here at SavvyOlu.com, I merge my professional expertise from years in Corporate America and Canada with a deep-seated love for numbers. I’ve dedicated countless hours to researching, learning, and applying financial strategies that have propelled me to success. When I’m not analyzing the markets or crafting insightful finance posts, I enjoy watching soccer, scouting for the next promising dividend stock, exploring new travel destinations, or spending quality time with family and friends.

This site is designed to demystify complex finance topics and make them accessible, helping you understand essential financial management and investment principles. In case you’re navigating debt management, investment opportunities, retirement planning, or just starting your financial literacy journey, SavvyOlu is here to guide you. As a seasoned finance expert, I am committed to delivering personalized guidance tailored to your unique financial goals and needs.

I hold a contrarian belief that wealth can be built alongside a regular job through passive investing, compounding, dollar-cost averaging, and reinvesting dividends. Here, I will share abundant tips, ideas, and comprehensive guides to help you achieve financial independence, allowing you to pursue your passions and lead a more fulfilling life.

Join the SavvyOlu community to embark on an exciting journey toward financial success together, whether you’re a seasoned investor or a newcomer to personal finance. Let’s build a financially savvy future together!
