Ready to turn that financial coaching dream into a profitable reality?
We’re not blowing smoke. Take a look at this…
Lauren was already a coach, but she wasn’t fully confident — with FCA, she is closing her knowledge gaps and adding to her toolbox so that she can be a powerful, transformative financial coach.
And she’s not the only one:
“I will sing y’all’s praises from the hilltops! This program is amazing. If FCA had been JUST modules 1 & 2, it would have been worth the price. There is no way I would have launched my business or gotten this far without Financial Coach Academy.
“The fact that I have LIFETIME access was one of the reasons I chose FCA over other options out there.” – Brandy Lively
Both Brandy and Lauren found that the Financial Coach Academy’s comprehensive trainings filled in the gaps (that other programs didn’t), and increased their confidence — all because they followed their dream — their vision — to become excellent financial coaches.
Maybe you have a similar dream or vision. You know the one— you drift into on the way home from the office. That late-night epiphany that won’t let you sleep. The dream of owning your time, being your own boss, and transforming the one aspect of people’s lives that can truly change everything for them.
It’s time you turned your dream into a reality. And the Financial Coach Academy will give you the roadmap to do just that.
Expand your coaching skills beyond financial concepts and education (but we’ll cover those too). Learn how to successfully change your clients’ behavior to get better (and faster) results.
Stop the neverending quest for the “right” way to launch. Build the systems and master the tech needed to run a business that’s as close to autopilot as can be.
Being good with money is in your DNA. Build upon your natural skills and learn the techniques and tools that you will need as a financial coach. Trust us—they are a game-changer.
Hi there! We are the creators and instructors of the Financial Coach Academy®, but first and foremost…
We are financial coaches.
MEET KELSA
After 7 years as a financial advisor and corporate accountant, I realized that I didn’t want to sell investments and insurance or deal with corporate red tape.
So in 2010, I quit my corporate job that was draining my life force and affecting my marriage so I could start my own business as a financial coach.
I worked out of my den helping friends and my family and created most of my own systems and processes. Fast forward to today, and I am proud to say that I am a nationally recognized financial coach and founder of the Financial Coach Academy® and co-creator of the Financial Coaching Toolkit.
MEET MICHAEL
Unlike Kelsa, I do not have a finance background — so I know all the questions you’re currently asking yourself (and the doubt that you’re experiencing).
After practicing for 15 years as a Certified Athletic Trainer, I began to immerse myself in financial knowledge – both technical expertise and behavioral insights.
I am a Kolbe Certified™ Consultant. Don’t know what Kolbe is? Yeah, a lot of people don’t. We use the Kolbe Theory™ to help our clients and financial coaches understand their innate instincts and how they can best take action with their money, their business, improve productivity, and stop doing the things they shouldn’t be doing.
MEET JACLYN
I taught middle school math for 11 years but was a mess when it came to budgeting and balancing my own checkbook. My husband and I invested in financial coaching in 2015, and made a remarkable amount of progress in five years. I left teaching in 2020 to become a full-time coach.
My love of numbers and systems has been an asset to the Fiscal Fitness team and business. I love making things run smoothly and finding a way to streamline processes. Oh and organization. I love when things are organized. I run a lot of the behind the scenes for Fiscal Fitness – I love showing that you can make things run efficiently without sacrificing the client’s experience.
MEET JILL
After my husband and I found ourselves on the verge of bankruptcy, we looked for help. We found Fiscal Fitness and experienced a life-changing shift in our lives once we started working with Kelsa.
After we were taught a new method of managing money and experiencing its impact on our lives, I realized I wanted to help other people have that same mental clarity around their finances, so I shifted careers from clinical pharmacist to financial coach.
I am the Lead Financial Coach at Fiscal Fitness, a Financial Coach Academy® Instructor, and co-creator of the Financial Coaching Toolkit.
Did you know that the average course completion rate in the US is 12%? The Financial Coach Academy’s completion rate is 68%.
That’s because you need both the monetary knowledge and numbering-crunching superpowers of an accountant combined with the emotional intelligence and mindset-shifting skills of a coach. Plus, the drive and discipline of an entrepreneur.
Mastering this unique blend of traits is one of the many reasons we love our jobs and think financial coaches are so freaking awesome (#notsohumblehumblebrag).
That’s why our program doesn’t just focus on financial theories or coaching skills. It covers this trifecta of skills to serve as your foundation. So you can confidently (and quickly) launch and grow a business that not only transforms your clients’ lives but also lights YOU up.
Are you in?
Financial Coach Academy® Reviews
“Just want to say how grateful I am feeling in this moment to still have access to FCA. I first took FCA in 2018 and four years later, I still use these materials! I would pay 10x what I paid for FCA, it’s that valuable.”
EMILY MACLIN, Think Legacy Financial Coaching
“FCA gave me everything I needed to start my coaching business and the encouragement to actually do it. Instead of spinning my wheels and never launching because I’m a perfectionist, I was able to take decisive action with what I learned. I had income before I even finished the course.”
AMBER PIETRANGELO, Abundance Financial
“If you are on the fence as to if FCA will benefit you, I am here to say, IT WILL! This is coming from a coach who took another program and was in business for 9 months before I purchased FCA. It was worth the price, plus more!!”
KRISTINA GUARDADO, Elite Empowerment Coaching

Financial Coach Academy® Reviews
“After FCA, I am so confident I don’t think anyone can knock me down. I network like a champion. I have content that looks good and provides value. I have goals in my business. I HAVE A PAYING CLIENT. I just feel like there is nothing stopping me.”
AMANDA JACOB, Life Changes By You
“Before the Academy, I was stuck in the beginning stages of my business not knowing what steps to take or how building a program worked. Kelsa and the team helped me take my business from beginning stages to up and running. I highly recommend you take FCA if you want to become a financial coach.”
TANYA GEHRES, Table Talk Financial
“The training offered by the FCA was precisely what I needed at the early stage of my financial coaching career. Excellent training, excellent support, and excellent applications to all aspects of financial coaching important to a new financial coach.”

You don’t have to have any financial background to become a successful coach.Just take it from Jessica.
“FCA was one of the most intensive and informational courses I have ever taken! Anything and everything you would possibly want to know is in this course. I completed it having no background in finance, and I feel confident in building a successful financial coaching business.”
JESSICA KLEINE, Mindset Financial Coaching
You know the saying knowledge is power? Yeah, we call BS on that. We believe applied knowledge is power.
Our goal is to give you the tools, skills, and strategies that, when applied, can help you create the life and business of your dreams. And we hope that as you’re putting this knowledge into practice, you’re loving every minute of it.
Yes, EVEN MORE Financial Coach Academy® Reviews
Did we mention more than 600 coaches have already completed the Academy?
“I got my first beta client and I’m so darn excited! Thank you Kelsa Dickey and the Financial Coach Academy for helping me get there. I’ve only just begun Module 3 too, so feeling on track. I was sitting on the sidelines for far too long before taking the plunge and (FCA) has been such a motivator.”
ASHELY BOSKOS
“FCA was the best decision I ever made and has enabled me to evolve to provide a slightly different offering to combine my accounting and financial wellness – I wouldn’t have been able to do this so eloquently these last 2 months had I not already had all the foundations in place from the FCA!”
RACHEL RADEMAKER, The Wealth Hive
“I’m lucky to have found out about FCA at the same time I discovered financial coaching as a career. I can’t imagine trying to figure out how to build a business and what coaching looks like on my own. If you’ve been thinking about purchasing FCA, you definitely should!”

TALK TO THE ACADEMY’S LEAD INSTRUCTOR
We get it. This is a BIG decision. If you need to bounce ideas off of someone who’s been in your shoes, schedule a FREE Q&A call with The Financial Academy’s lead instructor Kelsa Dickey. During this 20-minute chat, she’ll give you an honest, no-pressure assessment of whether or not the Academy will work for you. Either way, you’ll end the call knowing the best next step you can take to making your financial coaching dreams a reality.
This isn’t another course that will sit on your desktop collecting virtual dust.
Online courses are a dime a dozen, especially in the world of financial coaching. We’re not teaching you all the fancy terms and concepts like some of the other money gurus. What we’re offering you is a proven framework that you can customize to fit your clients’ needs and use over and over again to create repeatable success. Because let’s face it: expensive marketing tactics won’t grow your business. But real results will.
The average course completion rate in the US is a mere 12%. The Financial Coach Academy® has a 68% completion rate and countless success stories of people who took what they learned and used it to build their dream businesses.
Will you be next?
HOW THE ACADEMY IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER FINANCIAL COACH TRAINING PROGRAMS:
✓ Lifetime access at no cost. With FCA, you pay once for the course AND you get all updates. Forever. You’ll always have not only access to the course but THE BEST version of the course.
✓ Monthly live coaching calls. Open Q&A calls with the Academy instructors are included for life. Calls are recorded, so you can catch the replay if you miss one.
✓ Learn how to market and get clients. It’s one thing to design a great program (which we totally help you do), but it’s a whole other to learn how to talk about your value, what you offer, and how to price and market your services.
✓ Get all the materials you need to run your business. The Academy offers not just training resources but all the materials you need to run a business and serve clients (see the link to the full list below). We provide all things we use in our financial coaching business every day.
✓ Know what software and systems you actually need. You don’t need to pay for client-service software. We show you how easy it is to use apps and software that you likely already have – and so do your clients!
✓ Advanced modules that grow with you. We got you with Advanced Programming and Marketing, Corporate Wellness, and Thinking Like a CEO bonus modules—all designed to guide you during the stages of growth we know you’ll face as a successful financial coach.
The Financial Coach Academy® is for you if…
…you’re just starting out as a financial coach and you want evidence-based systems to help you launch your business on the right foot.
…you have a dream of being a financial coach, but you want more training and guidance to feel confident in your ability before you take the leap.
…you’re a professional looking to make a career switch into financial coaching and want to turn your passion into a profitable enterprise.
…you want to start financial coaching as a side hustle and you’re looking for tools that will help get your business off the ground.
Got Questions? We have your answers!
Where do we start? Our program sets us apart from other financial coach training in a 10 big ways:
- We provide lifetime access to the course materials. So long as the course is around, you never lose access, nor do we ask you to pay more to keep them. That means as your business grows and you face new obstacles, you can revisit the materials and tackle those challenges with confidence!
- Monthly coaching calls! In addition to lifetime access to the course, you get ongoing access to our monthly coaching calls. These calls are open to any and all coaches who have enrolled in the Academy at any point. You can even submit questions in advance and catch the replay if you can’t join live for any reason.
- We cover three main areas – financial concepts, business building strategies, and coaching skills. Our approach to each of these is thorough and based on experience. We do not provide theories. We provide practical, hands-on, step-by-step instruction on tried-and-true methods that work. We share what didn’t work for us and why. We live and breathe financial coaching every day!
- Our approach to financial concepts, for example, is behavioral and we provide skill-based applications and exercises you can do with clients. No other program combines the technical, financial aspects with the coaching elements like we do. We provide enough concepts to last you the first two years of coaching a client.
-
The course follows the client journey and focuses on what your clients need at each stage so you can provide the most value based on where they’re at and how they’re feeling and thinking. This allows you to deliver amazing results not just through your coaching sessions but through the journey you lead your client through.
- We provide the materials and tools we use everyday in our financial coaching business. There is no other program that provides the same level of resources. You can see the entire list of resources here.
- We don’t spend time talking about mortgages, bankruptcy, estate planning, insurance or other topics that you are probably familiar with already. And if you’re not, we show you how easy it is to learn those topics – you don’t need to pay us, or anyone, for those lessons.
- As a financial coach first and foremost, Kelsa knows what it feels like to coach clients on their finances. She knows what you’ll go through, the things you are likely telling yourself, the worries you feel and hope you have for others. Throughout the Academy, these gems are sprinkled throughout so you feel understood and supported not just as a financial coach, but as a whole person. There are even downloadable pep talk audio files for you to listen as needed!
- Advanced Bonus Modules! Since you never lose access to the course, we expect your business to grow and be a success. When that happens, we know the challenges you’ll face and they’re different from when you first launch. We’ve been there too. The Advanced Modules in the Academy grow right along with you covering things like launching a course or group program, thinking like a CEO and advanced marketing strategies.
- Finally, not only do we share exactly how we do everything, we also give you the framework so you can create your own strategies that are unique to your personality and values. We want you to fall in love with being a financial coach, so our goal is for you to be inspired by us and use what we provide as your foundation, not that you have to do everything exactly how we have.
We can say without any hesitation that the Financial Coach Academy is the most comprehensive, thorough, specific and valuable training for financial coaches there is.
Before you’ve even completed the course, you will take your knowledge and passion for personal finance and turn it into a successful financial coaching career. It’s that simple. Most importantly, you will feel confident and be able to serve people well and get them great results. The course was designed to help you do that, so that’s what we want you to be able to do, regardless of where you are in your coaching career.
Let’s cut to the chase. In the Financial Coach Academy, we provide practical steps to help you become an amazing financial coach, who gets their clients outstanding results and while making a good living doing it.
You will learn everything from client contracts and pricing to scheduling and marketing and so much more. We want you to learn from our mistakes and successes and use them to create a successful financial coaching business that’s all your own. You will also learn tried and true methods from exercises, discussion topics, handouts, and real-time questions that get results with clients.
We know there’s a lot to consider and it can feel scary and overwhelming. We want you to feel confident in your decision, which is why we offer a call with Lead Instructor and Financial Coach herself, Kelsa Dickey. Schedule here to gain clarity and confidence in your next steps of becoming a financial coach.
Certainly not. All you need is a desire to help people and a passion for personal finance. In fact, the majority of those who enroll in the Academy do not have a background in personal finance.
We’re going to provide you with enough financial concepts to coach a client for the first couple of years they work with you. We provide not only the financial knowledge but we add in the behavioral and mindset elements too. After all, that’s financial coaching!
You don’t need a certification, a degree or any more education on personal finance to be an amazing financial coach or to enroll in the Financial Coach Academy. We got you.
We think know that coaches who complete the Financial Coach Academy stand out. You’re different, in a good way. The approach you take to coaching your clients, the journey your clients experience working with you and the level of results you are able to achieve set you apart. We’re incredibly proud of that and want you to be too. We want you to shout it from the rooftops so we help you to do just that!
All graduates of the Financial Coach Academy receive a Certificate of Completion as well as a Financial Coach Academy Graduate Seal to place on their website and in their marketing materials. We also provide you with some sample language to put in your marketing to promote your commitment to your own professional development. We take the guesswork out of this part for you by giving you the exact language for your website.
As a recovering perfectionist and control freak enthusiast, Kelsa understands the desire for some sort of guarantee of business success when taking this leap of faith. We can guarantee you’ll love the Academy which is why we have our 60-day Satisfaction Guarantee*, but no one, not even us, can guarantee you success in business. Here’s what we can tell you:
Kelsa and her team are coaches first and foremost. We pride ourselves on getting our clients results and we’ve built the Academy to be a coaching program, not just a digital course. It’s designed to keep you progressing, even when it gets hard.
We want more financial coaches in our world which is why we’ve poured a decade’s worth of lessons and hard work into this course’s materials, format and design. The Financial Coach Academy will show you everything that has brought us success and every mistake that we have made so you don’t repeat them. We provide all the materials we use everyday in our own financial coaching business and break down step-by-step how to create each one for yourself. We coach you on your mindset as you’re growing and learning because one thing Kelsa learned early is this:
Your business will only grow to the extent you do.
The Academy is going to challenge you because we know you are capable of great things and that growth is required for business success. But we’re just your coaches, your guides, you have to commit to doing the work, which is why we can’t guarantee specific results.
For more information, read about Financial Coach Academy’s terms and conditions and privacy policy.
*The Academy comes with a 60-day refund policy. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase, but we also want you to give your best effort to apply the strategies in the course. In order to received a refund, you have to request it within 60 days of your purchase and submit completed course work. See here for all the terms and conditions of the Academy refund policy.
If you’re part of our Facebook group, Financial Coaches Unite, then hopefully you’ve watched and reviewed a good amount of the free resources we offer in the guides section of that group. We offer a lot. There are 11 different guides that include more than 100 posts and 50 videos. That is HOURS UPON HOURS of free financial coach training. There are also free downloads and resources, like our example coaching agreement.
They are great. But they’re not the Academy.
The Academy is far more robust because you get everything, and I do mean everything, you could possible need to become a coach and run a coaching business. You get the entire blueprint of how to attract the right clients, how to sell to them without being sales-y, how to design your program, how to coach and move clients through your program, and how to get feedback and reviews so you can get more just like them. In addition, you get all the materials and resources you could possibly need because we give you all the materials we use in our coaching business. And unlike the guides, you don’t have to piece it all together. The Academy is ordered in a way where all you have to do is follow along.
So yes, the guides are great, but they are truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you are looking for a proven, methodical, step-by-step process for becoming a financial coach that gets your clients amazing results, enroll in the Financial Coach Academy today.
You’ll definitely have questions as you are becoming a financial coach and we are here to help you navigate any uncertainty quickly! That’s why we host a monthly coaching call for ALL Academy coaches enrolled which is the best place to get your questions answered. You can even submit questions in advance and the recording of the call is provided in your course dashboard.
In addition, all attendees of the Academy are invited to join a Facebook group just for FCA graduates and our free Financial Coaches Unite Facebook group. Financial Coaches Unite is a 7,000+ member group made up of FCA graduates, veteran financial coaches, and newer coaches, so all experiences and skill levels are represented. It’s the best place to ask questions for two reasons:
- You will get feedback from other financial coaches on what has specifically worked for them, not just us.
- It will help other coaches who have the same question (and may not even know they have that question).
We respond to questions in the group as often as we can, but can’t guarantee that we will answer your question. We’re tagged a lot. Just know we try our best and think we do a pretty good job!
The Academy is incredibly detailed and thorough; we think you’ll be blown away by just how robust it is. But if you need more guidance and want more access to the FCA instructors, consider joining the Financial Coach Academy Mastermind. We open registration to this group twice a year, so be on the lookout for emails from us about open registration.

There is one supplemental video at the end of Module 1 that is all about business structures and options for incorporation that is for U.S. businesses only. We also talk about payment processors like PayPal and Stripe, which are not used in some countries. But often, coaches know which payment processors are commonly used in their country.
But everything else (and it’s a LOT) in the course applies. The fundamentals of the Academy are all about the client journey, human behavior, and our mindset as coaches, and that applies no matter where you are from.
