Virtual Brunch
1-1 Financial Coaching Session for First Time Clients
🥓What is it?
A chill, relaxed zoom session dedicated to talking about your financial life. It’s great if you already have a ton of questions, but it’s also great if you have no questions and you have no idea where to start. You can start with us.
We’ve found there is a lot of shame around reaching out to a financial planner or coach because you feel like you don’t know “enough” (whatever that means) or don’t want to “waste anyone’s time” (you won’t be) or feel like you need to “get my finances together first” (that’s what this meeting is for!).
We’re here to help you get shameless about where you are in your financial journey, starting with a virtual brunch.
We’re excited to meet you!
💸What it costs:
The rate is sliding scale based on income. Click on Book a Virtual Brunch to see the suggested rates.
We also want to acknowledge that income doesn’t tell your whole financial story, so there is also an option to pay what you can. Maybe your income is high but you have a lot of financial obligations or perhaps your income is low, but you have a lot of money in the bank.
If you can afford to pay a little more for a Virtual Brunch, it would be great. You would be helping subsidize the cost for someone else who really needs the help and can't afford as much.
These virtual brunches are part of our continued effort to make financial advice as accessible as possible and serve as many people in our community as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Virtual Brunches are for first time clients (or if you haven’t met with us in the last two years). If you’ve met with us recently, please instead schedule a financial advocate call at brunchandbudget.com/advocate
