Individual Coaching

Customized practical support to help you build financial strategy and wisdom that works for your values, art and life.

Our work together is an uplifting process which is applicable, easy to understand, and helps you navigate existing and difficult financial systems.

You receive: A clear path forward, working with a highly trained financial professional who understands the realities of artistic lives and gives specific, tailored advice and handholding through all the steps.

The Process

For starting out, three meetings are recommended, but not required.

Meeting 1: The Big Picture

We go over the full picture of your revenue, debt and savings/investments-what’s working for you and what would you like to improve. From there we create a set of action items and next steps that make sense for your goals and situation.

Meeting 2: Getting it Done

We implement the steps together as needed so you don’t get stuck along the way.

Meeting 3: Progress & Refinement

We check in 6 months to one year later and see how the plan is working and whether any adjustments need to be made.

My artist rate is $125 an hour.

Tamara is a financial advisor who truly understands artists. She recognizes the systemic and psychological barriers that make it difficult for us to prioritize our financial wellbeing. She offers clear, supportive guidance so artists don't just survive, they thrive. As an artist with a full time day-job, Tamara made me feel appreciated while also offering options for me to create a financial cushion as I enter the next phase of my career. Our sessions provided a sense of calm. I recommend her to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of finances -- from savings, to investment, to retirement and more.
