I believe everyone deserves access to financial education, not just people who already have money.
I've been a licensed financial professional since 1996, and over the years I've seen too many hardworking, everyday people left out of important financial conversations.
People work, pay bills, raise families, run businesses, and contribute toward retirement, yet many still don't have a trusted place to ask questions about money, insurance, retirement, or how any of it actually works.
Sometimes people don't ask because they don't know what to ask. Sometimes they're embarrassed because they think they should already know. And sometimes, no one ever took the time to teach them.
Those are the people I created Ask Audra for.
Ask Audra is a place to ask questions, learn without judgment, and start wherever you are. You don't have to be wealthy. You don't need to understand financial terminology. And you don't have to have everything figured out before we talk.
Today, I work with individuals, families, educators, small-business owners, and financial professionals. I help people understand their retirement options, pensions, life insurance, annuities, IRAs and other financial strategies. I also help small-business owners explore retirement plans and insurance benefits for themselves and their employees, and I provide education and training for financial professionals who want to better understand the solutions they offer their clients.
Whatever brings you to Ask Audra, education comes first. My goal is to help you understand your options, ask better questions, and make informed decisions with greater confidence.
Because I believe money does grow on trees. The question is, what are you planting?
