Why JA exists.

Founded from lived experience. Built to help others learn.

After experiencing three financial crises, Ka Hoe recognised a gap: people leave school equipped for work, but often without the practical education needed to manage money.

He founded JA to make money learning easier to understand and apply, through education and coaching.

A journey within JA

Anne first joined Ka Hoe’s courses and coaching. Today, she is a partner and coach at JA, providing her own specialist options income services.

A few things worth clarifying.

Know who you’re connecting with before taking your next step.

Is JA the same as Ka Hoe?

JA is the academy Ka Hoe founded. Ka Hoe is an individual coach within it, with a focus on financial transformation, wealth building and retirement planning.

How is Anne related to JA and Ka Hoe?

Anne is a partner and coach at JA providing options income education and coaching. She previously went through Ka Hoe’s courses and coaching as part of her own transformation.

Do I have to take every programme?

No. Start with your situation. Ka Hoe’s Money X-Ray helps direct people to relevant education or coaching. Anne’s OIB webinar introduces her options learning path.

Who should I recommend?

Recommend Ka Hoe to someone earning well but struggling with cashflow or looking for a clearer wealth plan. Recommend Anne to someone with suitable spare capital who wants to learn options income skills. Share JA when someone wants to explore both paths.

Learning about personal finance management, after all, is not that scary at all... The JA Academy has helped me to see my own shortfall in handling my personal finances. After completing the classes, I have now passed through the fog of uncertainty in my future retirement. But the great news is, now I have gained a much better understanding of managing my own finances, avoiding any future pitfalls, and preparing for the future with hope and confidence. With that, thank you again to Ka Hoe and the JA Team for putting this together. I highly recommend this course to the young and old in order to achieve your financial wellness and independence. Trust me, you will sleep a lot better after tonight.
