GERMANTOWN, Maryland, United States – August 29, 2026 – Financial House Advisory, a financial education and strategy firm based in Germantown, Maryland, has launched the Closing the Retirement Gap Alliance, a collaborative initiative with a 10-year mission to help 10,000 individuals and families improve their retirement readiness by 2036.
Founded by Angela Christian, Financial House Advisory helps individuals, families, business owners, employers, and community organizations better understand their financial position and take practical steps toward stronger financial futures.
The Closing the Retirement Gap Alliance expands that mission through community education, workplace financial-wellness programs, strategic partnerships, self-assessment tools, and retirement-readiness experiences.
“Many hardworking people spend decades earning an income but still reach important stages of life uncertain about whether they are truly prepared for retirement,” said Christian, Founder and CEO of Financial House Advisory and Founder and Convener of the Alliance. “Our goal is to replace uncertainty with education, clarity, and practical action.”
Addressing Retirement Readiness Through Education
Financial House Advisory provides financial education, financial needs analysis,
retirement-readiness programs, strategy sessions, workshops, workplace lunch-and-learns, and community financial-wellness initiatives.
Its education-first approach helps participants understand where they are financially, identify potential gaps, and determine practical next steps based on their goals and stage of life.
Closing the Retirement Gap Alliance
The Alliance is designed to bring together employers, libraries, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, civic groups, community leaders, and financial professionals around the shared goal of improving retirement readiness.
Through these partnerships, Financial House Advisory plans to expand access to practical financial education and reach individuals and families who may not otherwise have access to retirement-readiness resources.
Closing the Retirement Gap Experience
A key part of the initiative is the Closing the Retirement Gap Experience, which combines education, assessments, workshops, financial-wellness clinics, and conversations to help participants better understand their financial position.
The Alliance’s inaugural Closing the Retirement Gap Experience will take place Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at The Turn House in Columbia, Maryland, bringing together individuals, families, professionals, and community leaders for an interactive retirement-readiness experience.
The experience is designed to help people answer important questions such as:
● Am I financially prepared for retirement?
● Where are the potential gaps in my financial strategy?
● What should I be paying attention to now?
● What actions can I take to strengthen my financial future?
Expanding Workplace Financial Wellness
Financial House Advisory will also expand workplace financial-wellness programs through employer-sponsored workshops and lunch-and-learns covering retirement readiness, financial decision-making, wealth building, and long-term financial preparation.
“Financial stress doesn’t disappear when someone arrives at work,” Christian said. “Giving employees access to understandable financial education can help them become more informed and confident about decisions affecting their families and futures.”
A Community-Centered Mission
Financial House Advisory differentiates itself through an education-first, action-focused, and community-centered approach. Its goal is to help people move beyond financial awareness toward greater clarity, confidence, and action.
“Our vision is bigger than one company,” Christian said. “Closing the retirement gap requires education, collaboration, trusted community relationships, and people willing to help others take action.”
Financial House Advisory is currently seeking partnerships with employers, libraries, faith-based institutions, nonprofits, civic organizations, and financial professionals interested in bringing financial and retirement-readiness education to their communities.
