Meet Jaleesa Hardy, your Financial Accountability Partner

 
 

I am Jaleesa Hardy, a dedicated professional with over 10 years of successful business development, financial literacy, and youth development. I am a native of Warner Robins, Georgia and I specialize in facilitating a better life for people through their finances.

How can little ole’ me accomplish this?

Well, in short, I analyze your finances' good and bad, take into account the pros and cons of your expenses, crunch them up to spit out a formula of greatness!

I’m telling you this is greatness because by no means am I rich (yet), but I was able to:

  • Purchase my first home by 26 on less than a $40k income

  • Help turn my husband’s credit score from a 526 to a 735 within less than a year and a half

  • Negotiate better interest rates because of my credit score

  • Pay off $15k in debt within a year

  • Currently saving for an investment property

  • Help countless others reach their financial goals

Mind you, I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and a Master’s in Sports Administration. (Although, I do have some professional financial experience, as the Treasurer of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and now the CFO of my non-profit, ACTS Global, Inc.)

But, believe me when I say you do not need an advanced degree nor be a rocket scientist to manage your finances. However, it will take a little patience, a plan, consistency, and most of all execution.

I’ve always been passionate about creating a better life for underserved communities — especially when it comes to financial literacy — because I understand it has the power to impact every area of your life, from your mental health to your overall security. I believe it is so important to share my knowledge because financial literacy is not taught in schools and, for some, not in our homes. But none of that matters once you decide to start Budgeting with Cents! 

I created Budgeting_withCents LLC., where the mission is to create the pathway to financial freedom, which allows you to live the life you desire. And I truly believe everyone deserves that if you are willing to put in the work to achieve it.
