Early in her career, Rashida realized that if she truly wanted to make a difference in her clients’ lives, she had to be a specialist and work with a smaller segment of individuals. With her personal experiences as a single mom, she recognized that women had all the odds stacked up against them and therefore needed that extra helping hand in a secure, supportive and nurturing environment. With that vision in mind, Rashida started Lilani Wealth Management in 2007. Focusing on professional women and their loved ones, her goal is to provide objective, unbiased investment advice and be a partner in her clients’ financial success.
While working full-time and raising her two kids, Rashida decided to go back to school and secure a BS in Business Administration/Finance from California State University Northridge. She also holds a BA in Mathematics which she successfully completed in her early twenties. She is a Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner (CFP®) and Chartered Mutual Funds Counselor (CMFC). Rashida has been offering financial planning services in the greater Sacramento area, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles since 2000
Rashida has addressed many audiences and has presented at the Money Wi$e Women Conference, Sacramento Women's Chapter of California Dental Association and Chapman University, to name a few. Rashida’s insights on wealth management are often featured in regional publications like Sacramento Bee, San Jose Messenger and Granite Bay View Magazine.
Rashida has served on the boards of the Financial Planning Association of Northern California, Blue Line Arts and Executive Women’s Golf Association. Rashida lives in Granite Bay with her husband.
