Meet the Founder

Angela Christian

Founder & Convener, Closing the Retirement Gap Alliance

Founder & CEO, Financial House Advisory

Recognized by Marquis Who's Who and featured on FOX 5 DC, Angela Christian is a nationally recognized financial educator, speaker, author, and financial strategist dedicated to helping individuals, families, business owners, employers, and communities build wealth, protect what matters most, and prepare for a more secure financial future.

After years of helping families prepare for retirement, Angela realized that the greatest financial challenge facing many Americans wasn't simply a lack of income—it was a lack of financial education, planning, and access to trusted guidance. That realization inspired her to establish the Closing the Retirement Gap Alliance, a community-driven initiative that brings together individuals, employers, financial professionals, educators, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, and community leaders to help more families move from retirement uncertainty to retirement readiness.

Angela is the author of The Right Side Advantage: How Professionals Move from Income to Ownership and Build Financial Control, a practical guide that challenges readers to think differently about wealth, ownership, and long-term financial security. She is also the creator of the Right Side Financial Score, an educational assessment designed to help individuals identify financial gaps and develop a personalized roadmap toward greater financial confidence.

Through Financial House Advisory, Angela designs and delivers financial education workshops, keynote presentations, retirement readiness programs, workplace financial wellness initiatives, and community-based educational experiences that simplify complex financial concepts into practical, actionable strategies.

Angela's vision extends beyond individual financial success. Her mission is to create a national movement that equips people with the knowledge, confidence, and resources to make informed financial decisions and build lasting financial security.

Her 10-Year Mission is simple:

Help 10,000 families close the retirement gap by 2036.

Through education, collaboration, and action, Angela continues to inspire individuals and organizations to move to the right side—building wealth, protecting what matters, and creating lasting legacies.
