Hey Legacy Builders! If this is your first time meeting me, I’m a finance nerd that genuinely wants to help YOU! My journey to start this business began in high school when I decided I wanted to “help people with their money” for a living. I was told that meant to be an accountant, so I went to college majoring in Accounting to accomplish this goal.

After taking a couple of finance classes I realized that was more in line with helping people the way I wanted to and chose to pick up a 2nd major in Finance concentrating in Personal Financial Planning. I was finally learning just how to help people, so that they could conquer their finances!

The only problem was that when I looked for jobs I either had to sell stocks, insurance, or manage the finances of companies as an accountant. I sold insurance and worked as an accountant for many years but I was unfulfilled. This is why I created B.D. Smith Financial Services.

I wanted to be able to help people to create a plan for their money without them already having thousands of dollars to invest in an annuity or retirement plan. I wanted to help change every day people’s views around money and help them to feel in control again. Most importantly I wanted to be able to help parents like me that wanted to create a legacy for their children and generations to come!

As a single mother I had to learn how to manage a very low-income to provide for me and my daughter. If it wasn’t for God and all of my studying and knowledge in finances we would have STRUGGLED. But instead we were able to thrive! I got us an apartment, I purchased a 2nd vehicle for cash after the 1st one completely died on me, paid off over 50% of my student loans before graduating and I purchased our first home just 10 days after my 21st birthday. I want this to be possible for other single moms as well instead of having to feel like they are constantly struggling.

As a wife I had to learn how to work as a team to conquer our joint finances. I’ve helped get rid of my husband’s debt collectors and gain the peace of mind that comes along with that. We have a beautiful blended family with 3 kids (and counting!). We have also sat down and planned our own financial strategy that will allow both of us to retire (if we want to) in our 30s!

I want to sit down with you to discover what is stealing your peace and help you formulate a plan to get it back! I’m invested in you reaching your version of success and feeling empowered by your finances. Whether its buying your 1^st house, getting out of debt, or planning your own early retirement! Allow me to help you to start being a manager of your finances and to stop your money from managing you!
