What we do
Financial Counseling /Coaching Services
Can you remember a point in your life when you found yourself in a financial crisis? If the answer is no, consider yourself very fortunate because a lot of people have experienced financial woes at some point. These woes are typically initiated by health-related expenses, car emergencies, or simply having more money going out than coming in. When financial difficulties arise, it’s vital for people to recognize that there are options to support them in the form of financial counseling.
For ChrisElly, Financial Counseling is helping our clients deal with financial topics like Budgeting, debt and saving. While lower – income clients tend to benefit the most from counseling, everyone can use counseling. Most Financial counseling sessions will be based on understanding basic financial principles, managing debt, learning money management, coming up with financial goals and a creating strategy to work towards them, getting help with public assistance agencies and understanding your credit score.
