Savant Wealth Management launched Wife2CFO, an online divorce financial education program for high-net-worth women, on October 14, 2026. The program costs $2,000 and was created by Michelle Smith, a managing director and financial advisor in Savant's New York City office, Pulse 2.0 reported.
How the Wife2CFO Program Works
Wife2CFO combines self-paced online learning modules with live check-ins led by Smith and other Savant financial advisors, giving participants opportunities to ask questions and apply financial concepts to their own situations. The program is available through Savant Academy for $2,000.
The curriculum covers financial planning fundamentals, wealth management, investing, behavioral finance, tax considerations, risk management, and post-divorce financial decision-making. Wife2CFO is designed particularly for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth women.
Smith originally created Wife2CFO in 2020 after observing that many accomplished women she advised felt uncomfortable participating in financial decisions because a spouse had traditionally handled the family's finances. She has spent approximately 30 years advising women navigating divorce and brings experience as a financial advisor, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, and former divorce mediator.
"I created Wife2CFO to help women feel confident about their finances," Smith said. "The goal is to provide education, tools, and support that help women understand the concepts, questions, and conversations that often become critically important during divorce."
Brent Brodeski, founder and CEO of Savant Wealth Management, said, "Savant shares Michelle Smith's passion to help women learn how to become the CFO of their lives."
