Why Chazon Exists
Purpose
Chazon exists to serve young people in the UK aged 18 to 23 at the start of their careers and financial lives. We provide free career mentorship, financial education, and resources to students and recent graduates in the UK, helping them secure meaningful employment and build long-term wealth.
Values
Generosity sits at the core of everything Chazon does. We believe that those who have been given access, opportunity, and knowledge have a responsibility to pass it on. That is why every session is free, and why we ask those who benefit to give something back. We also believe in the power of partnership. Universities, corporate employers, and charities who give their time are at the heart of what Chazon is building.
Approach
Chazon's approach is built on three pillars. First, we provide the Access needed to start your career path. Second, we focus on Growth by teaching the financial habits required to turn a starting salary into long-term wealth. Finally, we encourage Generosity, asking those who benefit to give something back through a one-off or monthly donation towards the educational needs of children around the world.
The Giving Model
Everything Chazon offers to students and graduates is free. In return, those who benefit are asked to give something back through a one-off donation or monthly contribution. All donations are directed toward children around the world who lack access to adequate educational resources, starting with schools in communities where the need is greatest. We also welcome donations from anyone who believes in the mission.
Meet the Founder
Daniel Akintunde is a Director at Moody’s Analytics, leading Commercial Strategy & Partnerships across Defence, National Security, & Intelligence. He previously spent a decade at the Big Four, working across consulting, ecosystem strategy, and technology partnerships with major global clients. His experience has included organisations such as Deloitte, PwC, Google, Chanel, Babcock, and M&S, giving him a firsthand understanding of how leading institutions operate, what they value and how access to the right opportunities can change a person’s trajectory.
He believes that access, knowledge and opportunity carry a responsibility to be shared. Chazon is the expression of that belief, creating pathways for young people to build stronger futures through education, career exposure and financial capability.
Away from his professional career, Daniel has spent years building his own financial future through property, investing and international assets. His approach is grounded in long term thinking, discipline and stewardship, the same principles he now seeks to pass on through Chazon.
Our Credentials
His dedication to this responsibility is anchored in his role as a school governor at Wilmington Grammar School for Boys, being a youth leader and mentor. Daniel has supported over 100 people through one-to-one coaching, delivering hundreds of hours of guidance on careers and money. The students and graduates he has worked with have gone on to secure roles at leading corporate firms such as Citibank, Coutts, Shell, and Experian. Others have bought their first homes, built consistent saving habits, and grown genuine confidence in managing and investing their money for the long term.
