My husband and were looking to work with a fee-only CFP in 2014. We ended up working with Jennifer…read moreand it was such a valuable process. We got married a few years ago and had a lot of questions--about retirement planning, taxes, how our home equity figured in, how much we should think about spending on renovations, and cash savings vs. market investing. She also helped us shape up our 401(k) allocations and think about our estate plan. Jennifer's a great teacher--she patiently led us through making more informed decisions and pointed out the things we weren't thinking about but should be. Now we feel like we're on the same page and we get how the pieces go together into the big picture, which is really reassuring. We also appreciated how transparent her fees were and felt the cost was really reasonable compared with other local CFPs we considered. We're really glad we found Jennifer and plan to continue working with her.

My wife and I have been getting advice from Jennifer for a year, and we really like her. She's been…read moresuper conscientious about answering questions I've emailed her between appointments, and she's held our hands as we've executed the plans she helped us develop--without any cajoling or intimating that we were being too cautious. She has a detailed questionnaire she gives you before you even meet for the first time, which lets her know from the outset about your money-managing history, and about your attitudes and aspirations with regard to risk and reward. We feel we've benefited from her help a lot, and have come to think of her as a friend. I can also say I shopped around before choosing her, and considered her rate comparatively cheap.

I have a lot of anxiety around finances, and not only did she address that anxiety, she helped alleviate it. Coming out of our two hour session, I have tools to move forward with my budget and to manage my money better. She is very understanding and easy to talk to. Her methods are simple, but make a lot of sense. I am looking forward to starting her six month coaching class soon! If you are on the fence about a financial coach like I was, I urge you to take the plunge with MicKallyn. I was looking for a way forward with a financial issue I was having. She was able to not only give me guidance on the issue, she made me feel confident in my ability to change my habits.

The difference between Lula Financial and the others I talked to is the customer service. You aren't going to get the typical "financial customer service" you're used to.

Talking to Benjamin was like talking to someone I knew personally, and I didn't even have to use my own customer service voice.
