Financial Guidance – CPA Lead – for Life’s Major Transitions

Imagine this is you in the picture above. You’re up early to watch the sunrise because you had another restless night’s sleep. Weird dreams and obsessive thoughts alternating between the pain you are feeling and the anxiety of dealing with the money issues that you now in charge of.

Looking out over the lake with the birds singing and the wind warming as the sun rises, you just don’t feel like you should with all of this beauty surrounding you. You want to feel again, and laugh, and feel happy. If only you knew where to begin.

I’m Stephen Hartfield. Along with my wife, Sheryl, and our staff, we would be your Financial Therapy team to help you get started back on the path to renewal and control.

Financial Therapy is a new field where we – as financial professionals – help get the financial side of your life organized, build a framework for your future use and help you navigate your immediate challenges.

Getting Started: to help you get started, we have created a free, no-obligation Personal Financial Reflection. You can access it here: [.pdf]. This will serve as a common psychological tool – journaling. Think of this worksheet as the financial equivalent of journaling.

If you have any questions while you are preparing the form, then please contact us at:

Three people are sitting around a conference table in a modern office. One person is wearing a red blazer and is speaking, while the other two listen and have open laptops in front of them. Papers with charts and graphs are scattered on the table. In the background, there are gray acoustic panels on the wall and a flip chart with colorful notes.
Four men in business attire are engaged in a discussion around a table. One man appears to be explaining something while pointing at some documents in front of them. The others are listening attentively, and one holds a pen and a mobile device. The setting is a plain office environment.
