WORK WITH ME

Whether you’re tired of living paycheck-to-paycheck or just ready to finally feel in control of your spending (or both!), I offer two ways to work together.

My work is designed for women and anyone who want to stop stressing about money and start building a plan they actually trust.

Are you a small business owner?

Do you also run a small business practice? I work with self-employed women and solo-preneurs who are managing personal and business budgets. Or maybe you need to set up your budgets for the first time. Setting up a clear separation between your personal and business finances is one of the most clarifying things you can do for both. We can use a session to set up a simple, workable business budget alongside your personal spending plan so you stop guessing what you can actually pay yourself and start making decisions with confidence.

  • "I chose Litsa DeJulio from YNAB's list of consultants because of her focus on helping single adults through life transitions.  I was newly divorced after a 24 year marriage.  During the marriage my then-spouse and I made many money mistakes, and skated on the edge of bankruptcy repeatedly.  We ignorantly undertook a subprime mortgage in 2003 and had to pay $8,000 to sell the property in 2012.  Over the years I liquidated my retirement to keep us afloat.  Coming out of the marriage in 2025 I was broke, had no money skills and was terrified.  Litsa helped me learn how to use YNAB's tools to gain control and understanding of my spending, and begin to plan for a stable financial future.  What little financial security I now have is due in large part to Litsa's compassionate, nonjudgmental coaching in how to use YNAB.  I know it will take time to get on my feet financially, and I may never be able to retire, but I am not bouncing checks, I have very little debt, a small savings, and my bills are all paid on time.  And maybe most significantly, I am no longer ashamed of my mistakes. I did the best I could with what I knew, and now I know better.  Thank you, Litsa."
