Why We Started Liorae

We founded Liorae because we kept seeing the same problem: talented creative professionals struggling with the business side of their work. Not because they weren't smart enough, but because traditional financial education doesn't speak their language. We wanted to bridge that gap.

Clear Communication

We explain things in plain English, without jargon or unnecessary complexity.

Practical Learning

Every lesson connects to real situations you'll actually encounter in your work.

Personal Support

We're here to answer questions and help you apply what you learn to your specific situation.
