Coaching Services
Coaching sessions are usually done by video. This means that we can work together no matter where you are. We will generally have three to five sessions, with email follow-up in between.
​
There is no "one way" to engage in financial coaching. One or more of the packages below may work for you, however you might not fit neatly into any of them. In all cases, we will have an initial phone conversation to determine what you need and I'll provide you with a proposal up front outlining what work we will do together, how many sessions we will have, and how much it will cost you. We will work together to find the service that's right for you.
​
Financial coaching is an investment in you and your family. Your return on investment comes in the form of maximizing the money you have, saving for future goals, better investment choices, lower fees and most of all, peace of mind. You can read more here.
