Question: What is a financial coach?
Answer: A “financial coach” is a broad term that can apply to someone who teaches, advises, and holds accountable their clients around financial goals and behaviors. Typically a financial coach does not sell financial products and has a background or foundational understanding of personal finance products, services, and strategies. Due to the unregulated nature of financial coaching (and coaching in general), anyone can call themselves a coach so it’s important to do your due diligence and work with someone you trust.
Question: What’s the difference between what you do and a financial advisor?
Answer: “Financial advisor” is a broad term that can apply to a variety of licensed financial professionals often with an incentive to sell a particular financial product or service. They require specific training on the sale of those products and are held to regulatory standards that guide that sales process. As a coach, I don’t sell financial products or services. I sell knowledge, experience, education, and accountability.

Question: Doesn’t a coach in a traditional sense provide some level of instruction and guidance?
