“I could talk all day about financial empowerment and how important it is to have a basic understanding of personal and business finances.”

That same passion led her to launch the Your Financial Maven® Podcast, a show that brings real-world financial education to life. Through her podcast, Samantha shares knowledge, encouragement, and insight to help listeners feel confident managing their money and running their businesses.

What to Expect

Clients describe Samantha as responsive, patient, and incredibly thorough. Each conversation leaves you with clarity and a renewed sense of control over your finances. Working with Your Financial Maven® feels less like hiring an accountant and more like partnering with someone who truly wants to see you thrive.
