Who We Are

A steady compass for families in transition

Moments of economic adjustment can feel disorienting. When income shifts, costs rise or family circumstances change, the path forward is rarely obvious. Optarumbo was built around the idea that education, not prescription, is what families need most.

We are an educational consultancy based in Cartagena de Indias. Our team designs learning experiences that give families the vocabulary, the tools and the confidence to look at their own household economics with fresh eyes. We do not provide regulated financial advice. What we offer is something different: structured education that empowers families to make their own informed decisions.

Every family's situation is distinct. Our programs are designed to be adapted, not applied uniformly.

Our Principles

The foundations of our educational approach

Four principles guide every session, every workshop and every follow-up conversation we have with Colombian families.

Clarity

We translate complex economic concepts into language that every family member can understand and use.

Respect

Each family arrives with a unique history. We approach every situation without judgment and with full attention.

Sustainability

We focus on habits and understanding that last, not on quick fixes that fade when circumstances change.

Inclusion

Our programs are designed to be accessible to families across different economic backgrounds and life stages.

Our Programs

Three formats designed around how families actually learn

Each program format responds to a different need. Some families want depth. Others need flexibility. Some benefit most from peer learning. We offer all three.

How It Works

From first contact to lasting change

01

Initial Conversation

We begin with a free introductory conversation to understand your family's situation, goals and which program format best fits your needs and schedule.

02

Mapping Your Spending Structure

Together, we build a clear picture of your household's income flows and expense categories. This is the educational foundation from which everything else develops.

03

Learning and Application

Through sessions or workshops, you work with practical tools and frameworks. The learning is yours to keep, adapt and apply independently.

04

Ongoing Follow-Up

For families who choose a follow-up program, we schedule regular check-ins to review progress, address new questions and refine the approach as your circumstances evolve.
