Our approach

Nobody taught us how money works. So we teach it.

Most people use money every day without ever being shown how it actually works: where it comes from, why it loses value, how interest, risk and time shape every decision. That isn't a personal failing. It's a gap.

KL Consulting closes that gap with plain-English education, real examples and one idea at a time. We don't sell financial products and we don't give personal financial advice. We help people understand, so the decisions become theirs.

What has inflation done to your savings?

Money kept as cash since the year you choose, measured in what it can buy today. Based on official Czech annual inflation figures.

This is Month 2 of the programme in one number.

What it buys today, in money from back then:
–
Czech Statistical Office, average annual inflation (consumer price index), 2015 to 2025. Ignores any interest earned. For education only.
Trusted specialists, only when you're ready

Education first. Experts only when someone asks.

The programme is education first. When a participant wants to act, they can choose to speak to a vetted, regulated specialist. Always optional, always their choice.

About the founder

"I ran the P&L, not a slide deck. And in every team I led, I watched capable people struggle with money because nobody had ever taught them."

Kyle Lockeron, Founder

For 15 years Kyle led shared services and global business services teams from the Czech Republic, serving the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Central Europe. Over that time he watched financial stress become one of the most visible, and least discussed, challenges in the workplace.

He built KL Consulting to close the gap: independent, plain-English financial education that gives people real understanding, with nothing to sell. Kyle works with organisations in Prague, across Czechia and throughout Europe.

Questions

The questions we hear most, answered plainly.

Is this financial advice?

No. KL Consulting provides education only. We explain how money, markets and financial products work, the risks involved and the questions worth asking. We never tell anyone what to buy, sell or invest in. For personal decisions, participants can choose to speak to a licensed specialist.

Do you sell financial products in the sessions?

No. The programme is education, and no products are sold in it. A specialist may occasionally join a session to share their expertise, but only when this has been agreed with you in advance. Participants decide for themselves whether to contact a specialist afterwards.

How long is each session, and is it in English?

Each monthly session runs 60 to 75 minutes plus questions, in English. Sessions can run on site, on campus or online.

What is a demonstration session?

A live session drawn directly from the programme, run with your team or students, so you can judge the content, the approach and the response first-hand before deciding on the full 12 months.

How much does the programme cost?

Pricing depends on group size and format, and is shared on request after a short conversation about what would work best for you.

Is the programme tax-efficient for employers?

Under Czech rules, education benefits can be tax-free for employees up to half the average wage, CZK 24,483.50 per employee a year in 2026. How it applies to your organisation depends on how the benefit is provided, so your tax adviser should confirm the best structure.

Do you cover crypto and Bitcoin?

Yes, as education. Month 7 explains digital assets in a balanced way: how they work, why they exist, their risks, custody and the Czech and EU rules. We never recommend buying any digital asset.
