Where financial coaching becomes a profession

Financial coaching is real work. We train the people who do it that way.

For nearly two decades, Financial Coach Academy has trained practitioners to build coaching practices that hold up to real client work. Whether you’re exploring this for the first time, or refining a practice you’ve already built, the path here starts where you are.

A parallel track

When clients have businesses, the finances come up.

The Coach’s MBA is a two-semester, ICF-accredited specialization for whose clients own businesses. When cash flow, pricing, or growth comes up in session, you have the frameworks to stay in the room and do real work.

Semester 1

Cash flow, clarity, control.

Semester 2

Optimization and growth.

ICF-accredited. $1,997 per semester.

Two decades in practice

Built from real client work.

I’ve been a financial coach for nearly twenty years. Our team has helped close to 1,100 people pay off more than $38 million in debt and save over $112 million.

Financial Coach Academy is built on that experience. Real patterns from real client work, codified into training that holds up. Financial coaching deserves to be treated as a profession, not a content category. That belief is the through-line of everything we build.

“This course confirmed that financial coaching is something I want to pursue more seriously. I went in curious and came out clear.”
