About Us
Wealth and happiness is more than money, it comprises work-life balance, peace in finances, healthy relationships, spirituality, and physical health.
The Accountable Network was formed by Coach Connections, LLC to allow people hungry for growth in their personal finances a way to get matched with a qualified coach that was a fit for their unique situation.
Coach Connections, LLC provides financial coaches a step by step process to become confident, competent and profitable. Coaches go through a six month process to learn our proprietary coaching system and tap into our proven best practices. Because of the depth and breadth of our system, it takes the average coach a minimum of a year to qualify for listing on the Accountable Network. In order to be listed on Accountable Network, coaches are required to participate in ongoing education.
Because each coach is encouraged to enhance our proven Guided Steps to Financial Freedom process by choosing a specialty (single moms, newlyweds, adulting, wealth building, small business owners, mental health, etc.) they acquire a unique set of skills that allow them to guide clients to an even greater transformation. Members meeting our standards are then showcased through the Accountable Network where clients can use the Coach Match process to find a coach that understands their unique situation and can move forward knowing their coach ‘get’s’ them.

How We're Different
We realize how you work with money is as unique as your financial situation and goals. Instead of funneling you into a black & white set of steps or guidelines, we customize coaching to you. You define wealth and happiness (Refocus), the coach injects tools and accountability to help you follow through (Gain Control), then you create a long-term plan for success (Set a Plan).
Your coach didn't just complete a course or get a piece of paper that says they are certified, Accountable Network coaches are required to be ongoing members of Coach Connections, LLC giving them access to the latest best practices and also unlimited access to seasoned experts. While no single coach can be an expert in everything, if they do get stuck, they can reach out to the mastermind which gives the coach an endless resource of knowledge and expertise to help them navigate anything you can throw at them.
We don't want clients to just survive, we want them to thrive. Using our proprietary tools and resources, clients move quickly past basic budget and debt reduction conversations to strategic coaching that results in sustainable growth.
We don't sell insurance, investments or any other products, nor do we make a commission on any referrals we may provide. This creates an unbiased coach focused on your needs and best interest.
What is a Financial Coach
Consider us personal trainers for your financial health. Similar to how a personal fitness trainer works one-on-one with clients to create customized solutions that will meet their specific health needs and holds them accountable. A financial coach guides you from where you are to where you want to be financially. Our solutions are unique to you. Working with a coach, you will:
- Be given the accountability you need to follow through on your plan
- Find hope and contentment
- Receive personalized resources and tips
- Improve your relationships
