Our Coaching Programs
4
Four Session Program
This coaching program offers all the essential elements you need for long-term budgeting and financial success. The goal is to ensure you have a working budget, have worked to develop good budgeting habits, are reconciling your accounts, and are well on your way toward achieving your financial goals. A free discovery call and a free pre-coaching demonstration and consult call will be conducted before the official start of the coaching program. A free 94-day trial of YNAB is also included.
8
Eight Session Program
This coaching program offers all of the elements from the four-session coaching program, but is tailored to those who are looking for additional accountability, have challenging or overwhelming financial circumstances, and/or who otherwise need additional assistance beyond the scope of four sessions. The eight session package is a good fit for many prospective clients. The per-session cost of the eight-session package is reduced as compared to the four-session package.
1-2
One or Two Session Program
The one-to-two session programs are intended for current or past clients, and are also intended for individuals and couples who have specific questions or concerns about their pre-existing YNAB budget. The goal of the coaching sessions is to resolve any specific or lingering questions and to guide the client toward a more confident YNAB experience. The discovery call may be waived at the coach's discretion. No pre-coaching demonstration call is needed for these sessions.
