Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

There is no charge to work with a financial coach. The program is underwritten by community foundations.

What should I expect at my first coaching session?

You and your coach will work together to understand your current financial situation. Most importantly you will have a chance to dream about where you want your finances to be and set goals to get there. You and your coach will develop a plan and create action steps. Your coach may provide you with tools to create household budgets, save money, improve your credit score and reduce debt. You and your coach will schedule your next appointment before the end of the first session.

What do I need to bring?

Bank statements, paycheck stubs, and a recent credit report if you have it. Any information you think will be helpful you can bring. It is always better to have too much information than not enough.

How long will it take to accomplish my financial goal?

How long it takes depends on your goals and what you want to accomplish. Regardless of how much money you make, everyone is working on a financial goal. Sometimes people will work with a coach a few times set up a plan and follow up with their coach on a regular basis. Other people have found touching base with a coach on a monthly basis helps hold them accountable to the goals they set. Ultimately, you will determine how long you want to work with your coach.

Do I need to bring my partner?

Who comes with you to your appointment is up to you. If you are working on goals together, it is helpful to have both of you here, but not necessary to have a productive coaching session.
