"Financial coaching gives people the structure and accountability they need to follow through on their goals. It’s easy to put things off, but having someone to check in with and talk through ideas keeps momentum going and helps turn intentions into action."

"Financial coaching provides a solid foundation to make all the rest of the challenges you may face in life easier."

"The best way to predict the future is to create it. With financial coaching, you are building a skillset and knowledge base that will pay dividends (literally!) as you learn how to manage your assets, grow your investments, and make the choices that will create the strongest financial future for you."

"In this fast-paced world full of comparisons and highlight reels it is often difficult to gauge whether you are doing the right things financially. Financial coaching provides you with the tools to succeed by giving you structure and clarity around your financial behaviors while allowing you to set and achieve goals through an ongoing relationship with a professional."

"Today you can access so much information at your fingertips that tells you all the “right things” to do. But what is the “right thing” for your money and life? Coaching will help you unlock your “right things!”

"Financial coaching is helping you understand all of your pieces to get the puzzle put together."

Your M2 Financial Coach is a real financial planner with a real job doing real financial planning with clients when they are not providing coaching services. Within 1 business day of enrolling, you will receive an email outlining how to schedule and how to gain access to your M2 University which includes a personalized, full access Savology account. In addition, we strive to connect with you on a brief introductory call to ensure you get scheduled for your first M2 Financial Coaching session, as well as answering any questions you might have regarding your Savology account. Because your M2 Financial Coach is a real person, and not a chatbot, there may be times when the initial call out to you may be delayed. In those situations, we will send you an email confirming that you have not been forgotten and to let you know if there are any steps that you can take to expedite scheduling.
Sign up for any M2 Financial Coaching package and we’ll upgrade you to the full access Savology subscription. We do have to push some buttons to make it happen, so you should expect the update with your introductory email. If by some chance we miss that you completed the Report Card, feel free to remind us so you don’t have to re-enter your info!
A Financial Coach focuses on behavioral change, growing your knowledge, and accountability. Their goal is to help you build strong financial habits and make informed decisions. A Financial Planner or Wealth Manager offers comprehensive, strategic planning. They typically work with clients who have complex financial needs, such as retirement planning, estate structuring, tax optimization, and investment management.
The primary difference between the two is that a Financial Coach’s job is to “coach” you through analysis and decision-making processes, during which you do the financial management work. Whereas a Financial Planner or Wealth Manager’s job is to do the financial management work for you and provide personalized service regarding how to improve your personal situation and objectives, including those financial concepts that are beyond your own personal execution capabilities.
We’re kind of sticklers on not wasting time, but life happens. We get it and we’ll work with you if you can give us 48 hours heads up before canceling or rescheduling. If you think you might have an issue, the best practice is to contact your M2 Coach immediately to work on alternative arrangements.
Please Contact Us to submit your inquiry. We strive to respond within 1 business day.
