Latrice Allen
Certified Financial Coach
​​​​
​Hi, I’m Latrice. Maybe you’ve been told your credit isn’t where it needs to be, or you’ve been avoiding checking your score because you’re nervous about what you’ll find. I spent more than 15 years in mortgage lending and servicing, working with people at every point on the credit spectrum. I know how much can ride on those conversations, and I’m here to help you go into the next one feeling prepared.
About
People often tell me that talking with me makes money feel less overwhelming. I stay calm, I explain things in plain language, and I never judge where you’re starting from. Whether we’re working on your credit, paying down debt, or figuring out how to make your paycheck last through the month, we’ll take it one step at a time until things feel clearer.
​
During my years in banking, I saw how often families were held back by things no one had ever explained to them. In 2019, I became a Certified Financial Counselor so I could focus on the part of the work that mattered most to me, which is helping people understand their options before they’re sitting in a lender’s office. I care deeply about financial equity, and much of my work centers on helping families break cycles that have been passed down for generations and build stability that lasts.
​
I’m also a certified financial coach through Cities for Financial Empowerment, and I work with the Black Business Alliance, where I help business owners navigate financial challenges and plan for growth.
​
I believe everyone deserves real support and clear information about their money, no matter their income or history. That belief is a big part of why I left traditional banking, and it’s why I love the work I do now.
