From Chief of Staff to Financial Coach

Built from Experience

Mara Jenkins Cerruto

Helping high-achieving professionals create the same level of success in their finances that they’ve built in their careers.


Through intentional strategy, mindset shifts, and personalized coaching, I help uncover what’s keeping you stuck and create a clear path forward.

Hi, I’m Mara!


I am a financial coach passionate about helping people achieve true financial freedom and build generational wealth. With more than 10 years of experience in successful six-figure roles across the federal government and private sector, I know firsthand what it feels like to succeed professionally while struggling financially behind the scenes.

For years, I managed a demanding, high-visibility career while my personal finances suffered. After a lot of hard work and tough lessons, I finally figured out what needed to change and how to bring the same level of intention to my finances that I brought to my career.

Today, I share that experience through my financial system, personal insight, and thoughtful coaching to help my clients gain clarity, build lasting wealth, and create greater financial freedom.

I believe that kind of freedom creates more room to pursue the dreams and purpose God has placed on our hearts. It is an honor to use the lessons I learned to help others build a life with more choice, possibility, and legacy.

“I help successful professionals turn financial success on paper into confidence in real life.”

Today, I share the lessons, strategies, and personal experience that changed my own financial life through thoughtful, personalized coaching.

The goal isn’t simply to create a budget.

It’s to change your relationship with money.
