ABOUT SANDHYA
I Built SpendItRight Because I Know What It Costs to Get This Wrong
I am Sandhya Gopal.
Engineer, CDFA®, and the financial advisor
I wish I’d had.
I earned my Master’s in Finance during the 2007–2008 financial crisis. That crisis started my own investing journey, and it never stopped.
Upon graduation, I applied to every investment firm I could find. Every single one rejected me.
I was recruited by SLB — a Fortune 500 energy company — where I discovered what I actually was skilled at: planning, scenario modeling, and building financial models for multimillion-dollar decisions. I bring that same structured, analytical approach to every client engagement.
I went through a divorce. I navigated it the way I knew how — with spreadsheets. But I lived through the emotional weight of making permanent financial decisions while everything else was falling apart. I know what it feels like to be afraid of making the wrong call — one that could impact your finances for years.
I left SLB and became a full-time investor — flipping properties and trading — while raising school-aged kids and running a business on a single income. Every financial call was mine alone and so was every risk.
I founded SpendItRight in 2025 because I saw the gap: women facing divorce or major financial transitions who needed someone who could do the math and understand what was at stake.
Fee-only. Fiduciary. No products. No commissions.
Just the analysis you need to make the right decision.
“Clarity creates autonomy. Math is the path to autonomy.”
My Goal
"Help you find your footing, find your math, and find your freedom."
