Money, in plain English

I'm Peter Komolafe, a UK financial educator, former IFA and author of The Money Basics, published by HarperCollins in 2023.

I spent 18 years in UK financial services, across retail banking, corporate banking and wealth management, and qualified as a financial adviser and mortgage adviser. In 2020 I started Conversation of Money to explain money the way I wish someone had explained it to me: plain English, practical steps and no jargon.

You'll have seen me talking money on BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky News, Channel 5, Lorraine and Steph's Packed Lunch.
