People Who've Been Exactly
Where You Are Now.
Busy professionals who were too stretched, too uncertain, or simply assumed they'd figure it out later — until they didn't. Here's what changed for them.
"For the first time in a long time, I actually understand where my money is going and why. The irony is I deal with financial statements every day at work — but I had never really looked at my own picture this clearly. I wish I'd done this sooner."
A Senior Manager Who Knew Everyone's Numbers Except His Own
He had been in public accounting for over a decade — sharp, detail-oriented, great at what he did. But when we first sat down, he admitted he hadn't reviewed his insurance coverage in six years and had three separate investment accounts with no coordinated strategy.
Busy season had become his annual excuse to defer personal financial planning. Each year, he told himself he'd sort it out "after March." He never did.
"I moved from a Big 4 to a CFO role in industry and assumed my new package covered everything. YongLi showed me exactly what my group benefits didn't cover — and what would happen if I left the company tomorrow. It was a real eye-opener."
A CFO Who Assumed His Package Had It Covered
After a successful career in public accounting, he had made the jump to industry and was earning well. His company provided group life insurance, medical coverage, and a bonus structure that looked impressive on paper.
What he hadn't considered: group insurance is employment-linked. The moment you leave, it disappears. At 44 with three children, he had no personal portable coverage to fall back on.
"My husband and I are both in finance — we literally audit other people's financial decisions for a living. But our own financial plan was a mess of unconnected policies and a joint savings account we'd never properly discussed. YongLi helped us build something we both actually understand and trust."
Two Finance Professionals With No Shared Strategy
Both high earners, both independently managing their own financial products with zero coordination between them. Their children's education had never been formally planned for, and their combined retirement picture was, in their own words, "two separate guesses."
Their biggest concern: they wanted their kids to have the option of studying overseas, but had no idea what that would actually cost or whether they were on track.
"I kept telling myself I'd sort this out after the next busy season. YongLi was the first person who made me realise that 'after busy season' is just a way of saying never. Sitting down with him was the best financial decision I've made outside of work."
A Finance Director Who'd Been Deferring for Years
At 42, he was earning more than he ever had and had genuinely intended to sort out his finances for three consecutive years. The cycle was the same each time: busy season arrived, personal planning got pushed, and by the time it was over, life had moved on.
When he finally came in, we discovered he was significantly underinsured for critical illness, his CPF nominations were outdated, and he had no clear retirement income target — just an assumption that things would work out.

"What I appreciated most was that YongLi didn't just recommend products — he explained the reasoning behind everything in terms I could actually evaluate. That matters to me."
"I came in thinking I just needed to review my insurance. I left with a proper financial plan for the first time in my adult life. It was unexpectedly emotional."
"Finally an adviser who understands what busy season actually does to your capacity to think about anything else. He worked around my schedule without making it feel like an inconvenience."
"My CPF strategy alone — something I'd completely ignored — has materially improved my retirement projection. Simple things, done right, make a big difference."
"I appreciated that the first conversation was genuinely just a conversation. No pressure, no product push. Just clarity. I've since referred three colleagues."
"He sat across from me and said 'I've been in your seat — I know what you're dealing with.' And I actually believed him. That made all the difference."
