Meet Kelsa Dickey

I spent 7 years as a financial advisor and corporate accountant – but it wasn’t until I started helping friends and family with their finances that I realized my passion wasn’t in making corporations more money – I wanted to help real people with their day-to-day finances. So, in 2010, I started my own financial coaching business, Fiscal Fitness PHX.
And at the time, no one was providing the level of financial coaching that I wanted to – so I created most of my own systems and processes. These same systems and processes have helped launch me as a nationally recognized financial coach, and are exactly what we teach inside the Financial Coach Academy® and other programs. I’m also the proud author of the Financial Coaching Playbook – the definitive guide to starting and running a financial coaching business.
Meet Jill Emanuel

My passion is helping people – which makes my position as the Director of Coaching at Fiscal Fitness Phoenix a perfect fit. (I’m also a Financial Coach Academy Instructor, lead coach of our Elite VIP Program and co-creator of the Financial Coaching Toolkit. – to say I’m “all in” when it comes to creating trainings & content to help other financial coaches rock their businesses is a bit of an understatement!)
I didn’t start my career as a financial coach (I was actually a clinical pharmacist.) until I went through my own financial coaching journey – it was truly transformative, and I realized that creating financial peace of mind, helping others achieve what I had, was exactly what I wanted to do all the time. I love supporting our Financial Coach Academy coaches as they gain the skills to guide their own clients toward financial stability and peace of mind.
Meet Jaclyn Wise

You would think a former math teacher would be a natural budgeter. I taught middle school math for 11 years but was a mess when it came to budgeting and balancing my own checkbook. By investing in financial coaching in 2015, my husband and I made a remarkable amount of progress in five years. I loved the power of financial coaching so much that I left the teaching profession in 2020 to become a full-time coach and join the Fiscal Fitness team.
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 social media for Fiscal Fitness and show the ways I make that work efficiently along with client scheduling in the Academy.
