What Is a Finance Coach? And Why Should You Have One?

Let me start by saying that I'm predominantly a life coach. However, the approach and tools I use are perfect for financial coaching. But more about that later.

As you're reading this, you're probably looking for help with either your day-to-day money management or your overall financial health. The good news is that I can help with both!

So, whether you're a budding entrepreneur at the beginning of your professional journey or an experienced executive trying to max out your skill set, keep reading!

Or perhaps I've already grabbed your attention. If so, the first step to achieving your short and long-term financial goals involves contacting me to book an initial discovery meeting. Whether we do it in person at my London office or online via a Zoom call, I'll work out where you are, what you need from me, and how we can set you on the path to your optimal financial situation.

What Is a Finance Coach?

A financial coach is someone who can assess your relationship with money and finances and help you achieve your economic goals—whether that's in business or in general life.

Think of me as a personal trainer for your finances. But unlike the hunky guy down the gym, I won't talk pleasantries as you do the heavy financial lifting. I'll be pushing you to stay on track. And when circumstances change, I'll work with you to adapt and change your course.

Who Needs a Financial Coach?

I'm going to be bold here and say that EVERYONE can benefit from the services of a financial coach. Why? Because it's very hard to assess your financial decisions objectively. It takes someone like me to assess your relationship with money and change the way you think about it.

Of course, I'm being a little dramatic here. Not everyone actually needs help with their finances. But if one of the following statements applies to you, I might be able to work with you to achieve your financial goals.

  • You lack financial confidence and the instinct to take calculated risks
  • You've developed some poor financial habits
  • You want to clarify your overall financial goals
  • Your professional role requires an in-depth financial education
  • You're tired of earning money, and you want to begin earning it!

As a business coach, I know just how intertwined financial goals and life goals can be. In many cases, they're one and the same, so they should be assessed and treated as such.

If you're looking for traditional financial advice, I'm not for you. But if you want to learn about ways to define your economic goals in life—and pursue them—I'd love the opportunity to meet you for an initial discovery meeting.

What Should You Look for from Financial Coaches?

Most financial coaches delve into the details and mechanics of money management. Whether they're talking about pensions, mortgages, or paying off debt, they focus on the nuts and bolts of everyday money management. And if you find a certified financial coach with a track record of success and favourable reviews, go for it if that's what you're looking for.

However, if you're searching for a new way to approach your finances—and how they relate to your overall life goals—I can help. The best financial coaches have walked the walk. They might have made the odd mistake here and there, but they've developed healthier, more productive ways to think about finances and manage them.

Is Your Financial Health in Need of a Check-Up?

Traditional financial advisers will help you plan your retirement fund, manage your property transactions, and grow your investment portfolio. I offer financial guidance from the point of view of a career coach.

Do you struggle to keep track of your finances? Are you finding it difficult to set measurable and achievable financial goals? Do you seek clarity when it comes to your financial vision for yourself?

Let me be honest. Yes, you can be happy without money, but not having it makes being happy a lot harder. Nine times out of ten, the vision described by my clients involves money in some way.

So, to make your vision in life a reality, you can't afford to ignore your financial wellbeing. And that's where I can help in my capacity as a financial coach in London.

Why Choose Me as Your Financial Coach

Think of me as your personal fitness trainer; only instead of working on your glutes, I'll be working on your financial situation.

I know what you're thinking: "What qualifies you to be a financial coach?" While I hold various qualifications related to business, I also graduated from the University of Life! When you choose me for money coaching services, you can do so in the knowledge that I've walked the walk on several occasions.

More Than Two Decades of Managing Finances

I was once a financial beginner, so I had to work on my relationship with money—and how to use it to achieve my life's vision. Today, I have around two decades of experience in this area, and I'm ready to share it with you.

A Successful Business Owner

I may not be a qualified financial planner, but I've applied my processes and methodologies across all my businesses over the years. I know they work, as they've helped me deliver several successful ventures over the years—including a non-profit that went from two volunteers to more than 600 in just a few years.

A No Bu****it Approach to Financial Coaching

I'm a financial coach in London who doesn't have the time to waste on empty platitudes. If you need someone to say "yes" and tell you how fantastic you are on financial topics and long-term planning, I'm not the person for you!

I Understand the Importance of Money

It might be strange to hear a financial coach in the UK say this, but it's just the kind of person I am: Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's in the top five! In today's world, you'll struggle to achieve just about any vision without it.

Luckily for you, I love making money. And unlike other money coaches, I love helping people do the same. Whether you need help understanding your spending habits or creating a long-term financial plan for a better future, reach out for an initial discussion.

I Don't Spread My Financial Coaching Services Too Thinly

I take pride in delivering support to my clients and helping them take control of their financial destiny. That's why I tread carefully when it comes to choosing clients. I insist on providing a full, comprehensive, and personal service—and it all begins with a free consultation.

MY CLIENTS SAY

My Approach to Financial Coaching

I've already said it, but I think it's worth saying again: I don't provide regulated financial advice. My financial coach definition is related to helping you map out a route to personal and professional fulfilment.

As a life and confidence coach in London, I can't help you with detailed tax management, but I can help you develop a new financial mindset that will help you achieve your ultimate vision in life.

I don't recommend specific financial products, and while we might talk about issues such as savings, debt, investing, and retirement, I'm not here to offer that kind of advice.
