Scheherazade Hasan | Empowering Women to take Charge of their Financial Lives

A wealth coach, former financial advisor, and the founder of Scheherazade Hasan Wealth Coaching, Scheherazade Hasan empowers women to take control of their financial lives with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

With nearly a decade of experience in wealth management at one of Canada’s leading fintech firms, Scheherazade worked with clients from all walks of life—ranging from young professionals just starting to build their futures, to families navigating major life transitions, to seasoned investors planning their retirement. Pairing technical expertise with empathy, Scheherazade helps people make sense of complex financial decisions and build strategies aligned with their values and goals. Alongside her advisory work, she led initiatives integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into financial services.

In 2025, Scheherazade took a leap of faith—leaving her corporate career, relocating to Dubai, and founding her own practice. Today, she works with women around the world to help them heal their relationship with money, align their finances with what matters most, and design financial plans that support the lives they want to lead. Her coaching blends psychology, mindset, and technical planning, moving beyond the industry’s traditional focus on investment returns to what truly creates financial freedom: clarity, intention, and aligned action.

Scheherazade Hasan’s vision is to break the barriers women often face around money—shame, fear, exclusion, and self-doubt—and replace them with empowerment, education, and confidence. Through workshops, one-on-one coaching, and thought leadership, she is redefining wealth not just as numbers on a balance sheet, but as a tool for freedom, impact, and legacy.
