Keynote speaker
Robin Taub is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA), keynote speaker and bestselling author. Her latest award-winning book, The Wisest Investment, is a financial road map for teaching kids about the Five Pillars of Money: Earn, Save, Spend, Share and Invest.
Think of her as Google Translate for personal finance. She takes complicated money topics and puts them into plain language.
Robin lives in Toronto where she and her husband have raised two (mostly) money-smart young adults, a son and a daughter who is also a CPA. For fun, she loves to snowboard, cycle and go to concerts.
