Company History
Hand in Hand is a business that was created from one individual that was in search of repairing her own credit and restructuring her finances in order to become more financially secure, debt free and profitable. As she searched and searched for support she found out how difficult it was to find affordable services concerning finances all in one company or agency. This was very frustrating and thus it spurred her to consider how many other people were on a search like hers and were having the same difficulty as she were.
In 2005, Hand in Hand Financial was successfully started and implemented into the world of financial education and consulting companies. Though this field could be considered very competitive, Hand in Hand Financial knew that they were offering services that many financial educational firms were not. And as the clients began to pour in, it became very evident that this was definitely the case.
We understand the variety of life events that spur individuals and families into financial crisis and how these become a major strain on everyday living. Our framework and programs are designed to tailor to each person’s needs and goals while still achieving an overall goal of moving families from financial devastation to financial freedom. Our specialists are professionally trained to create a unique plan and program to fit the needs of each family or individual in a efficient and strategic way.
As a result of our overwhelming passion and desire to assist people in every financial situation that they may encounter, we have tailored our services to assist people even in lower income brackets. We structured our payments to be sliding fee scale if your income qualifies.
Education is behind everything that we do and so we will not only assist you but also educate and provide you with tools to be able to successfully maintain stability in your finances.
