Financial Coaching

“I love seeing my clients find hope for the first time… that there is actually a light at the end of the tunnel and we have a real plan to get to the otherside!”

- Michelle Tascoe and Why I Love Coaching!

There are 3 main types of clients that I love working with:

Financial Coaching #1

The Single Working Professional

The single busy working professional is a client who works for a company, and is getting established in life. They are doing well in their career and other areas of their life but need to address their finances as one area of life that has been holding them back. How they handle their finances makes them feel like a fraud at times, and finally getting their finances on track and managed will unlock further success in every area of their life. 

Here is how I can help you with your PERSONAL FINANCES

  • We will get you full visibility of your money so you can see all money in and out
  • We will create a budget (spending plan) that actually works 
  • We will strategize the most effective way to pay off debt
  • We will shift mindsets around money so we can shift from your money costing you money to your money making you money
  • We will cover credit score, credit report, how to invest, how to realistically buy a house, buy a second house to be an Airbnb or rental to cash flow
  • More importantly we will coach around your money mindset and how to be responsible, organized, disciplined, savvy, abundant and above all financially confident

What Financial Coaching Clients Are Saying…

“I can’t imagine my life without her! Financial and life coach Michelle Tascoe has become one of the most important elements in my life. When I first started coaching with her I was making a good amount of money but my spending needed some attention. Now I think about every dollar (and penny) that I spend and my personal life and business has flourished because of it. Also, having Michelle there to clear my mind and stay focused on the results and the facts has been invaluable!”

– Caroline Buhler | Marketing Coordinator for Halton Pardee + Partners | Los Angeles, CA

“Michelle has, quite simply, changed my life. While she has absolutely gotten my finances in order, she more importantly asked deeper questions that helped me understand bad habits and motivations. She has completely flipped my outlook on personal relationships and frankly, has helped me mature more quickly than life experience alone was able to. I just goddamn love her and I cannot recommend her enough!”

The couple is a client who wants to get on track with how they are handling their finances together.

What Financial Coaching Clients Are Saying…

“As newlyweds learning to share finances for the first time and making “adult moves”, we needed help. Michelle is exactly the knowledgeable, non-judgmental, patient third party we needed to coach us through creating and sticking to our budget. Her coaching encompasses the emotional aspect of financial health that makes the vulnerable/ sensitive part less intimidating. After our phone sessions, we always feel confident and encouraged because we have a better grasp of our financial health and it has made us stronger as a couple.”

– Sahar K. | Law | Los Angeles, CA

“My husband and I were in a financial rut. We knew we wanted to curb our spending and set goals to pay down debt and save for the future, but we didn’t know how, and every time we tried to make forward progress we would just end up in a fight. Having the outside help Michelle offered us was just what we needed. After our first session we had a much better idea of where our money was going (something I never felt we had a handle on before) and were able to easily set a budget and make a plan for paying off debt. It’s now been two months since our first meeting, and we’ve paid off three credit cards! Even better than that, we have not gotten in a single disagreement about money since we set-up our budget. That alone was worth the price of the session! It feels so good to be on the right track financially. I wish we had met with her a long time ago.”

What Financial Coaching Clients Are Saying…

“Michelle is a miracle worker! I began my journey over a year ago knowing that my husband and I needed help getting back on track. After a few failed attempts at self budgeting and actually being fired by a money manager that let us know we were ” just too much” I read a mention of Michelle in a blog post. I cyber stalked her and reached out to see if she could help. My husband and I were complicated: two corps, self employed, inconsistent income, tons of bills and no budget. I expected her to also tell us we were ” too much”. She didn’t . She immediately made us feel as though the challenges could be tackled. Debt ? No problem. IRS? No problem. Never talk to your spouse about money without blowing a gasket? No problem. Lol! Over the last year, we have systematically tackled the majority of our issues and unraveled a lot of things that seemed more complicated. We have created a budget that doesn’t seem restrictive and are working toward being debt free at the end of 2018. It’s hard to do these things alone if you’re not financially savvy. Coaching is crucial for us. Michelle is helping us to become savvy. I am grateful for her! If you’re looking to get in track this year, I suggest giving her a call!

“It has really been a great pleasure and learning experience to work with Michelle. From Day 1, she was motivating and encouraging, helping me to get started right away! She really listened and helped me to focus on “applying my knowledge” and more importantly “learning by doing,” rather than wasting any more time thinking about how I wanted to improve my financial life! Michelle helped us to learn how to improve our credit scores, create a budget, and create strategies to cut down on our spending and begin saving. We currently have an exact game plan to buy a house! Michelle also helped me to expand my business, creating new ways to generate clients and revenue. She helped me to access several different resources and design a plan on how to make more money with the skills I currently have. At times, when I was slowing down, she pushed me to do my homework and worked very closely with me to complete things moment by moment. I have learned a lot from Michelle, but more then anything I appreciate that she is genuine, focused, and truly cares to spend an extra few minutes with you until she knows that you got it just right! Thank you for being there Michelle! I look forward to continuing our work together!”
