OUR APPROACH
At EBO Financial Education Centre, we know that life is about more than just money… and also that sometimes, individuals and families may find themselves faced with difficult financial situations that affect every part of their daily lives. We fully understand that from time to time, it may be hard to make ends meet.
Through its 40 years’ experience, EBO Centre developed an approach that is the only one of its kind, combining listening, solidarity, support, as well as dispensing relevant advice and information to each and every person using its services.
It is very important that clients develop a sense of ownership regarding their financial situation, which significantly contributes to reducing stress related to money and improving their quality of life.
We strive to provide multiple options to our clients regarding their personal and family finances. We make sure that they feel totally in control of their decisions. Ultimately, it is clients who make their own decisions. Our role is to inform, support and guide them through their reflection.
We strongly believe that there is no better way to take control of one’s financial situation than to establish personal and family budgets that allow clients to clarify their options and priorities, and make the necessary decisions to improve their financial situation. Clients are often surprised at how easy it is to achieve their personal and family goals with proper financial planning.
