A finance book for non-finance professionals launches in Singapore with Count Jargon®, the author-created and trademarked learning plush to help learning.
Singapore educator and Financial Storyverse® creator James C Foo Leong has introduced a world-first concept in finance learning with the launch of Once Upon a Balance Sheet and the debut of Count Jargon®, an author-created, trademarked plush educational character.
The book was released earlier this month on 7 November 2025, and has already gained strong traction on Amazon — reaching the #1 Amazon Hot New Release and #2 Amazon Best Seller in both of its listed categories.
I created Count Jargon® to guide readers through the ideas that matter. When the concepts feel approachable, confidence grows and decisions become clearer.”

• written by the author
• featuring an author-created, trademarked learning character
• launched with its own companion plush at the book celebration event
