  • For greatest success, the following qualities are helpful:

    • Motivated: You’re feeling is highly motivated to dive in.

    • Curious: You are curious and open to forming supportive new habits.

    • Tech: You are tech-competent (or at least tech-curious).

    • Time: You’re up for completing 60-90 minutes of homework between the first 2-3 coaching sessions, as well as ongoing, regular YNAB tending. (A few minutes here and there / daily works best).

    • Style: You enjoy a coach with a caring, enthusiastic, encouraging, and somewhat playful coaching style. :-)

  • Likely, yes! Many people use YNAB for their business bookkeeping (and I am one of them).

    No inventory or payroll: As long as your business does not have payroll or inventory, YNAB can potentially work for your business. And, if so, I’ll be happy to guide you in setting this piece up as well. :-)

    Note: To keep everything tidy, I recommend maintaining a separate YNAB budget (inside your same YNAB account) for your business.

  • Great question! You can read all about YNAB here: greenestar.co/about-ynab

  • The coaching I offer complements the services offered by a financial planner or advisor in several ways.

    YNAB coaching focuses on the following: staying inspired and on track with current cash flow (enhancing it and overcoming obstacles to it); creating supportive new money habits; emerging from debt, setting attainable spending goals (and meeting these targets!), and staying inspired and on track with saving money for small and medium-sized goals—as well as strategizing savings for larger dreams!

    In contrast, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) or financial advisor spends less time and focus on supporting clients with day-to-day cash flow, debt, shorter-term savings, and daily money habits. Instead, they focus on investment management, long-term planning, and protecting you from various liabilities (e.g., taxes, insurance planning, retirement costs, and estate planning).

    While a YNAB coach does not advise you on any specific investments (that is beyond our scope), the YNAB method excels at helping you save more money (and building up stellar money-saving habits!)—and then YNAB also supports you in deciding how much of that saved money you would like to put toward your longer-term goals, such as investing for retirement or purchasing a home.
