dralqovinea started in 2019 when three finance professionals got tired of watching corporate culture damage good people. We believed there had to be a better approach—one where financial literacy and human wellbeing actually worked together instead of fighting each other.
We're not the biggest consultancy, which is deliberate. Everyone here has spent time working in corporate finance roles where they watched culture problems damage good people. That experience shapes everything we do.
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant
Callum spent twelve years in financial services before starting dralqovinea in 2019. He got tired of watching talented people burn out because organisations treated wellbeing as a compliance checkbox rather than something that actually mattered. He's particularly interested in how financial stress shows up differently across various roles and what practical support looks like.
Most workplace wellbeing programmes fail because they treat symptoms instead of causes. Offering meditation apps while paying people poorly doesn't work. Running financial literacy sessions while maintaining toxic work cultures is pointless.
We work with organisations that understand this and want to do better. Not perfect—better. That means having honest conversations about compensation, workload, career progression, and how financial stress intersects with all of it.
We facilitate discussions about money, stress, and work that people actually need to have—not corporate theatre.
We build internal capability so organisations don't depend on us forever—that's the point.
We track retention, engagement, and actual behaviour change—not just attendance at sessions.
Every organisation is different, but certain patterns show up repeatedly. Here's what we've learned works across various industries and team sizes.
We don't just survey your people—we spend time understanding how financial stress manifests in your specific environment. What does it look like when someone's struggling? Who notices first? What support currently exists, and why isn't it working?
We run sessions that people remember because they're relevant. Not generic seminars about investing—practical workshops about budgeting shift work, understanding payslips, having conversations with partners about money, planning for parental leave.
Your managers are on the front line of this work whether they want to be or not. We help them recognise signs of financial stress, have appropriate conversations without overstepping, and know when to refer people to professional support.
This is where most programmes fail—they run some sessions then disappear. We work with you to build financial wellbeing into your culture permanently. That means changing policies, training internal champions, and creating systems that sustain themselves.
If you're dealing with retention problems, engagement issues, or just a sense that your people are struggling more than they're letting on—get in touch. Initial conversations are free, honest, and genuinely helpful even if we never work together.
