Teaching Your Kids about Financial Literacy!

Hi, I’m Robin Taub (pronounced TOBE) and I’d like to introduce myself. I’m a proud Torontonian – born and raised! Freshly graduated from the University of Toronto, and armed with my Bachelor of Commerce degree, I went to work at one of the “Big Four” accounting firms, where I got my CPA, CA designation. But I’m definitely not your typical accountant! I quickly transitioned into the real estate industry and from there, to the complex world of derivatives. Today, I’m a professional speaker and the author of The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life.
