WealthEd was founded by Kailey Izard Welsh, MBA, CFEI — a certified financial education instructor whose career spans financial services, education, and enterprise consulting. That combination is why institutions trust WealthEd: Kailey doesn't just teach financial concepts; she's worked inside the systems — financial consulting, fintech, education — that her partners' clients and communities are trying to navigate.
Before founding WealthEd, Kailey's career moved through the exact institutions she now partners with:
Financial technology — worked directly with an asset management firm and an international bank, helping clients navigate complex financial platforms and tools
Education — served as Director of Educational Technology at Asheville School, one of the North Carolina's top college preparatory institutions, where she also advised students on leadership and growth
Enterprise consulting — managed enterprise-wide financial initiatives as a senior consultant at a global firm, with a focus on transformation and measurable results
Community financial education — volunteered with Common Wealth Charlotte, teaching financial literacy to low-income individuals
This broad background combining corporate finance, secondary education, and nonprofit access has shaped WealthEd's approach. We create content d accessible enough for a first-generation student with no financial literacy. Kailey Izard Welsh has a unique way of adapting the content to the class and encouraging clients to feel empowered to master their financial futures.
Certified expertise. With an MBA, a private wealth management certificate from Chicago Booth, and a CFEI certification, founder Kailey Izard Welsh brings both business rigor and teaching credibility to every engagement.
Purely educational. WealthEd never sells products, promotions, or financial services, which means every engagement is built solely to educate, keeping programs aligned with your fiduciary or mission-driven responsibilities.
Proven, not theoretical. Every workshop draws on a curriculum and feedback refined through real client and student engagements, which is then tailored for your client or group.
Built for real people. From next-gen wealth clients to first-generation students, our content meets learners exactly where they are, without judgment or jargon.
