About Us

Jonathan Pond's work in educating the public on financial matters has been far-reaching and widely recognized. His 16 prime time public television specials have been critically acclaimed for their effectiveness in providing useful and understandable financial guidance to people of all financial circumstances. Jonathan has been the pioneer in bringing low-cost, personalized money guidance to American households. His customized financial review reports are the most popular thank-you gift in public television history. He is widely sought as an objective and entertaining observer of the investing and personal financial planning scenes and has made regular national appearances on all of the network and cable television stations, including regular segments on CNN and over 50 appearances on NBC's Today Show. He is the recipient of many awards, including:

The Malcolm Forbes Public Awareness Award for Excellence in Advancing Financial Understanding

A Gold Medal at the Worldfest International Film Festival for a program on how individuals and families can benefit from the new tax rules

A Silver Medal at the Houston International Film Festival for his program on achieving financial security

An Emmy award for his contributions to a television series on financial planning in the 21st century

The American Society of Association Executives and the Newsletter Writers Association have recognized Jonathan as an outstanding author, and over one million copies of his books have been sold. He was educated at the University of North Carolina, Emory University, and the Harvard Business School.

Although he often says the key to financial success is never taking financial responsibility for anything that eats, Jonathan doesn't always practice what he preaches. He resides in a Boston suburb with his wife, three daughters, ages 19, 17, and 13, and one slothful dog.
