What is financial coaching?
As the name implies, financial coaching is aimed at coaching you to financial health. I work to educate you on the building blocks of personal finance and enable you to become much more financially literate. You may need help budgeting, reducing debts and creating a liveable financial plan.
My goal is to empower you to make good financial decisions and take control of your own financial choices.
So if you would like some guidance understanding the fundamentals of your financial health rather than recommendations regarding investments and managing portfolios then Financial Coaching may be for you.
You find long-term financial planning too confusing, too technical and to intimidating
Hi, I am Tony Pound an Independent Financial Adviser and Money Coach. I have worked in financial services for over 30 years, from being an employee to becoming self-employed and having my own clients that I look after in the way that I want to.
