ABOUT ME

I started Do Money Like It Makes Sense with one goal in mind: to help people gain confidence and clarity around money, so money works for them.

I have a professional and serious bio you can read Here. Here’s the thing, I am going to talk about money with you. It’s going to be a real conversation, it might be a difficult conversation for you to start with, but there will be some laughter, maybe some tears and lots of forgiveness.

“It’s never just about the money.”

A cornerstone of my financial coaching practice is dedicated to helping people maximize their earning power through effective budget, cash flow, and debt management strategies backed by behavioural science. I help you build awareness and create financial ease as you build a resilient financial future. I’m committed to providing peace of mind to business owners and families alike through trustworthy advice in all aspects of Financial Planning, Budget, Cash Flow Planning, and Debt Management

It’s all about creating a safe environment to allow you to understand your relationship to money and authentically accept and acknowledge where you are in your financial journey.

That’s why looking at habits, behaviours, and beliefs is an important part of the conversations you’ll have with me.

There are two sides to the money equation, the practical and tactical strategies used to manage and grow your wealth and the processes and guardrails you’ll install empowering you to stay on track with your goals.

Once those two components are working together, it will be a life enhancing experience. 

You’ll move into confidence and clarity as you negotiate financial decisions with more control and ease.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Combining our Financial Goals

    “collaborative financial conversations with my partner were often put aside as we both “did our own thing”. The process you outlined and led us through helped us individually understand our current cash flow. Your matter-of-fact attitude dissolved any shame, blame or guilt feelings about where we are, helped us recognize our strengths and identify positive options, and allowed us to develop a solid “we” perspective as we move into this next phase of our financial lives. “Thank you.

  • The Future is Brighter!

    “one of the best investments we have ever made. She showed us where to “find” money and how to actually stay on track - without a budget! We highly recommend her services. She is easy to talk to, lots of fun and VERY helpful! We are now financially stress free and much more hopeful moving forward. The future is brighter. Wish we had found Maura sooner!

  • Maura is easy to talk to

    Far from being judgy, she invites you to start from the very beginning so you can build a clear and actionable financial plan you're actually going to stick to. It's no exaggeration — Maura goes beyond budgeting to help you develop the long-term habits central to financial health and independence.

The Do Money Like It Makes Sense Approach

  • Awareness

    The first step to gaining clarity is building awareness about your financial situation.

    By taking stock of your financial situation, you can gain a better understanding of your current habits and identify areas where they are either supporting or hindering you.

  • Acknowledgement

    It's natural to feel anxious, guilty, or ashamed when reflecting on past financial decisions. Rather than placing blame, taking responsibility for those choices allows them to turn into lessons for future decision-making.

  • Action

    By taking active steps with money, such as saving, spending wisely, and paying off debt, individuals create new financial habits. This leads to increased confidence and ultimately more consistent financial decision-making.

  • Align

    Embracing a new financial mindset and gaining more control is only half the battle. To ensure its effectiveness, it's essential to regularly review and adjust your financial plan. By course-correcting along the way, you'll stay on track and achieve your financial goals.
