Founded in 2021 in Los Angeles, CA by Sara Potter-Gittelson, First at Finances was born out of over a decade of Sara’s leadership in financial literacy within higher education. Recognizing the need for a more expansive and inclusive approach, she set out to create a space where conversations about money go deeper—rooted in our identities, relationships, and personal financial journeys.

First at Finances is a trusted hub for financial wellness, empowerment, and education. We support non-profits, businesses, foundations, universities, groups and individuals seeking financial literacy support.
