-Frequently Asked Questions-

What does Cardo mean?

Cardo is Latin for hinge, like on a door, or a turning point. It's literally the point at which something moves in one direction or another.

In life, the point at which we can truly change solely rests in the habits we choose to develop and practice on a regular basis. The same goes for the area of personal and business finance...we can choose to develop skills, systems and habits that will lead us to be more successful! The best part is that when we develop a habit one area of our life, we own that habit, and it will impact other areas as well.

How much is financial coaching?

My pricing varies depending on the scope of our work together. I offer a variety of packages based on your need and the duration of our commitment to reaching the agreed-on goals . When you schedule a no-obligation session with me, I'll discuss these custom options with you.

Are Financial Coaches and Financial Advisors the same?

No, Financial Coaches help clients strategize and set money goals by understanding where there money is going and guide clients in budgeting, debt management, and accountability/support for long-term financial peace.

Financial Advisors offer investment advice and management, help with risk management, and some help with insurance needs.
