It's my mission to help you spend, give, and save guilt-free!

Welcome Sans Serif Seasonal Typography

When your budget serves your priorities, you feel in charge of your finances, your goals, and your daily life.


I help people get clarity on their budget without judgment on life circumstances, financial situations, or spending decisions.


People from every demographic group are welcome here.

I'm Nancy (she/her), nice to meet you!

I started budgeting in 2016 and got really serious about it in 2018 when I graduated with my MBA and $150K in student loans.


In 2023, I became a YNAB (You Need A Budget)

Certified Coach to help others make budgeting part of their life - and make it easy.


I love helping anyone who wants to get out of debt, budget for the first time, figure out where their money is going, or save for a big goal - so, really, anyone from any background or identity!


I especially love helping parents, those with neurodivergent brains, those in the LGBTQ+ community, and those who want to break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.

How will I help you?

I will work with you to create a system that works for you - you’ll create a spending plan, act on your plan, be flexible when life happens, and feel confident about contributing toward your savings and debt-reduction goals while enjoying

day-to-day life.


I use the You Need a Budget (YNAB) methodology and website/app as a tool to help clients achieve the financial confidence they’re seeking. I have tried many budgeting systems and promise that YNAB works for every situation!
