The fiscal Femme $$$ SChool
organize every aspect of your financial life in 1 year.
imagine this…
You get home from work (or log off your computer for the day) and have some free time. You do whatever you like to do to relax. Turn on your latest show, open a book or start cooking your favorite dinner. But something’s missing…
That nagging feeling you STILL haven’t chosen your 401(k) investments or that pervasive stress you won’t actually save any money this month are completely gone. You aren’t worried or constantly checking your balances - you have a plan.
Not only are you not worried, you’re confident that while you drink this glass of wine or curl up on your couch, your money systems are working for you.
You know how much you need to put towards each goal and in what order. And it’s all happening automatically, without you doing any work. You’re even feeling excited to track your progress at your next money check-in.
Your bestie texts you a question about her company HSA because you’re her most financially responsible friend. You of course know the answer. You’re now the financial go-to in your friend group.
You go on to share a link to the new cozy sweater you just bought. Not only do you not feel guilty about indulging in things that make you happy, you feel a sense of pride knowing you purchased it from a BIPOC-owned business that aligns with your values.
You smile at how far you’ve come. You can barely remember the you from last year who avoided looking at her money and stressed over every purchase.
This financial ease and clarity is what I want for you.
And You can have it.

Why me?
Since I started the Fiscal Femme in 2012, I’ve helped thousands of people feel financially confident, achieve some major financial goals and destress their money. I’ve given workshops and keynotes at companies like Google, LinkedIn, and Bacardi and my work has been featured in CNBC, Forbes, Glamour, and The New York Times.
My first book, The 30-Day Money Cleanse, was named Best Business Book of the Year and Publishers’ Weekly called it a “cheery and easy-to-follow guide” for “developing good financial habits and dealing fearlessly with personal finances.”
But I think the most telling of all is what people who have worked with me and taken my programs are saying:
“I cannot speak highly enough of the the Financial Adulting class. I learned more than I imagined I would, about every aspect of finances, from how to truly account for my spending, to how to pay off and manage debt, to how to actually live a life with savings and careful financial awareness, while also allowing room for life’s pleasures. They key is that they are truly worth it to me. I feel incredibly empowered to turn my financial life around and am so grateful to Ashley for the step by step methods putting me on a path to financial freedom.”
“Working with Ashley was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I had been meaning to speak to a money coach for a while, but was worried it would be a judgmental situation given my habits. Ashley never made me feel guilty, and instead helped me hone in what truly made me happy, and in turn, helped me spend money on those things and not waste it on others. I am happy to say that since the program stopped, I have stuck to the plan we created, and I have more in savings than I ever had before. I am forever grateful for Ashley and what she instilled in me.”
“Working with Ashley was literally the BEST investment I have made thus far in my life. She is such a joy to work with and very very gentle! I feel completely safe in working with her because let’s be honest sharing all your finances can be a bit scary! I now have the understanding of finances and how to make money truly work for me and my life and I don’t have any fear or anxiety around money anymore. I am excited to say that very shortly I will have paid down all my credit cards, have stopped being in the paycheck to paycheck scenario that plagued me for so long and I have started my first high interest savings account! All this plus a solid plan within 3 months of working with Ashley.”
“I honestly thought I would never be able to save a dime with New York City’s expensive lifestyle and with most of my money going back into my company. I was able to learn little things like creating a “Happiness Allocation” for things I wanted or needed. I urge you all to take her program. With Ashley’s help I am on track to save over $2,000.”
“Working with Ashley has been one of the most eye-opening experiences. With her help I have learned I am deserving and able to create a life built on balance; and that my debt should not define me. Her courses have given me a new outlook on so much more than just my financial well-being, and I have finally found my confidence when it comes to talking about money. The feeling of being able to pay down my debt AND save money is indescribable and I cannot thank you enough for encouraging and supporting me through this journey! I saved $800 during the 30 days and am set to have all my debt paid off in four months. ”
Hi, I’m Ashley.
Confession: I really struggled with managing my money for a long time, even though I worked as an investment banker and had a finance degree!
Yep. Back in the day, I was working in the financial space, crunching numbers and dealing with budgets on a daily basis. And I was making a great salary, too.
Sounds like the beginning of a millennial fairytale-come-true, right?
Wrong.
While you’d think someone with a degree in finance and multiple years in the financial trenches would know a thing (or 20) about managing money, at the end of the day–aka the end of my investment banking stint–I didn’t have anything to show for it.
I justified my overspending by telling myself I was working so hard, I deserved to splurge! What’s a margarita here or a mimosa there?
Unfortunately, those margaritas and mimosas do add up. And despite all my experience, I didn’t actually know how to make smart money decisions for my own life.
The bright side? I knew my relationship with money needed a MAJOR change if it was ever going to work.
Flash forward to today: I’m the founder and CEO of the Fiscal Femme, as well as an an author, money coach, and feminist who is on a mission to end inequality through financial well-being. I’ve read more books on money than I care to count and have helped thousands of people transform their financial wellness.
FAQ
WHY SHOULD I SPEND MONEY when i want to SAVE more MONEY?
This is my favorite question and believe me, I get the irony. First, when we pay for something, we’re invested. We show up fully and we get results. I saw this when I raised prices on my first course. The participants’ results skyrocketed. They were saving hundreds more and that made the value of the course increase exponentially - for them.
I’m also a big believer in investing in experts to save us time, money and added stress. By setting up the systems and strategies provided in this program, you will make up the money thousands of times over via decreases in spending and increases in investments and income. Not to mention the more subjective benefits like clarity, confidence and far less worry!
Not only will you get the resources of the courses and the live classes but you’ll also have access to your very own money coach, me! You can ask me questions directly and will receive accountability from (and other Fiscal Femmes) in the private Slack channels.
I’VE GOT A FULL LIFE. WHAT’S THE TIME COMMITMENT?
To get the best results, I recommend a time commitment of two hours per week. You can break up that two hours however you’d like. If you have a busy week or want to unplug for a week or two, no problem. You can make up the time and exercises later via the roadmap and recordings.
CAN I RETAKE THE COURSES and rewatch the live classes?
Yes, you have lifetime unlimited access to the courses and the recordings of the live classes.
WHERE DO I TAKE THE COURSE?
Everything is available in the online course portal, on Zoom and in the private Slack community. You’ll get a unique login to access the course portal on February 1st.
CAN I TAKE THE COURSE ON MY OWN SCHEDULE?
Yes! You get to create your own schedule because it’s all online. You can access the course anytime and anywhere, and you’ll do it at your own pace. The live classes will be recorded so you can watch them after the fact if you can’t join live.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Yes, I’m so confident in this program that if you take the classes, do the exercises (and send me the completed work) within the first three months, and are not happy with your results, I’ll give you a 100% refund.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! I would hate for someone not to get access to this program and system because of money. I’ve outlined a twelve month payment plan to help.
For this first launch, we are offering a discounted BETA price of $599 OR 12 monthly payments of $59.
