During the first counseling session, your financial counselors will conduct a Financial Health Assessment (FHA) for you. During this time, you will have the opportunity to articulate your goals and financial aspirations.
Based on the results of your FHA and goals, you and your financial counselor will create a Financial Service Plan that aligns with your goals and FEC Outcomes.
Your next counseling sessions will revisit your Financial Service Plan and make any needed adjustments to your FHA.
We believe through Asset-Based Coaching, you can become empowered to take control of your financial situation and achieve your financial aspirations.
