MEET KAREN

RRC, BAA, Founder

As a Financial Planner, Registered Retirement Consultant, and Myers-Briggs Coach you can expect comprehensive personalized planning and individualized personal development. While working as a financial advisor in the Canadian financial planning industry and the BC agriculture sector, Karen discovered that achieving personal financial stability requires one-to-one time with an expert, incorporating education, practical tools, and acknowledgment of every win. Challenged by the fact you could benefit from expert financial advice only if you have lots of money to invest she developed Fenske Financial Coaching to provide relevant, useful, financial planning advice for a session fee (fee-for-service) aka pay-as-you go structure that inspires you.

"Karen has helped me feel more at ease with my finances and come up with solid plans that make me feel more secure with my financial future as well. The non- judgmental approach and teaching empowers me to feel much more in control of how I deal with money. She’s the first person I think of when I make a goal and need financial advice on how I can achieve it." Elisha 2021
