“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and these other things will be added to you”

— Matthew 6:33 NIV —


Are fear and discontentment impacting your congregation’s relationship with their finances?

  • Are your church members beginning to view material wealth as the only way to true happiness even if it goes against their spiritual values?
  • Is your congregation spending money they don’t have to fill a hole in their hearts instead of focusing on becoming generous givers and grateful stewards of God’s Kingdom?
  • Are you worried that you might have to cut down on mission work just so your community can stay afloat?
Relieve financial fears

The truth is, many Christians struggle to align their financial habits and behaviors with their spiritual value systems.

And with rising inflation, increased cost of living, and the looming retirement crisis, it can be hard to move your congregation’s focus from worldly financial attitudes to a godly financial perspective.

You know they need more than just inspiration.

They need:

  • Critical intervention to relieve their financial fears and pave the way to spiritual wholeness
  • Proven tools and systems that will help them regain control of their finances, change their money mindset and put their faith back in God
  • Accountability to follow through on the actions God empowers them to take.

That’s where Accountable comes in.

Accountable: guided steps to financial freedom

Since 2009

The Accountable Network’s Christ-Centered Financial Wellness Program

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matt 6:21

We’re a global network of expert financial coaches who combine experience with expertise to mentor people ready to take charge of their financial narrative and build a life of lasting peace and abundance.

As Accountable accredited financial coaches, we've seen and felt the pain that every believer experiences when they try to fill the spiritual gaps in their lives with worldly, material assets.

Our faith-based financial wellness programs are designed to guide congregations towards a faithful stewardship, intentional living, a culture of generosity, and positive action for God's Kingdom.

Empower your congregation to use their finances for God’s Glory with the right partner for their financial journeys

Together with other faith-based coaches in our network who have seen and felt financial pain first-hand, we developed powerful resources that address why believers try to fill the spiritual gaps in their lives with worldly, material assets.

Our faith-based financial wellness programs are designed to guide congregations towards faithful stewardship, intentional living, a culture of generosity, and positive action for God's Kingdom.

We understand that every church has a unique set of needs, goals, and challenges, which is why we don’t believe in solving specific problems with generic answers.

customized financial wellness programs

Since our financial wellness programs can be completely customized to your church’s needs, the needs of your members, and the scope of the project, we always begin by offering church leaders a free, no-obligation design consultation.

Our design consultation is formulated to help us learn all about your church’s needs, goals, and background – so we can connect your congregation and church’s leaders with the specific resources they need to start thriving.

This process ends in a proposal so that you and your church will know exactly what you are receiving and the financial investment involved before deciding whether you’d like to partner with us.

Our Stewardship Programs Work

Godliness with contentment is great gain 1 Timothy 6:6

Relieving Financial Fears

We guide your congregation towards

  • Removing financial stress
  • Creating a relationship with their finances that is based in gratitude and devotion
  • Strengthening their relationship with God so that their financial behavior is aligned with their spiritual values
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35

Empower Action

After your congregation feels more in control over their financial lives, we encourage them to think about legacy and kingdom impact, and empower them to start taking action in their communities, and daily lives.

Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Rom 12:13

Strengthen Outreach

By strengthening the current mission fields your church already serves, we guide your church members towards creating a transformational impact by practicing acts of service and generosity.

We are the
Accountable Network


Since 2009 we've been serving the faith based community.

You will benefit from the in-depth training, collaborative culture, proprietary tools, and vast skill-set of the best financial coaches in the world.

Through Accountable, we have specialized knowledge and expertise to help you navigate anything required for your stewardship program.

Hi, I’m Janie!

I’m passionate about helping couples and small business owners learn excellent money skills rooted in the gospel, transforming their relationship with money so they can live abundantly and give generously.

I founded Folkert Financial Coaching in 2018 with the dream of helping others make wise financial decisions. I'm also a leader within the nationally recognized mastermind group, Coach Connections™ and the Accountable Network. I’ve gone through rigorous training and continuing education to learn Accountable Network’s proprietary coaching system and develop a unique skill set based on my chosen specialty.

I enjoy living in southwest Michigan with my husband of more than 33 years. We have one adult son.

My journey to becoming a financial coach began more than thirty years ago and is packed with practical experience. During those years, I managed the finances for three households, including that of two individuals with diminished capabilities in the capacity of a durable power of attorney and financial conservator. Also, my engineering background and ability to visualize three-dimensionally are unique and invaluable skills that benefit my clients.

Over twenty years ago, God used a terrifying experience of totaling my car to grab my full attention. Beyond exhausted, I should not have been driving and could have killed someone! This scare caused me to stop asking “if” we could live on my husband's income alone and start asking “How". The resulting life U-turn has dramatically changed, shaped, and prepared me to be a faithful guide to those seeking to be good stewards of the resources under their care. When God calls us to something, He provides a way.

Your congregation can experience this transformation too… and more! – if they’re willing to do the deep work, take action, and stay accountable.

Our Programs

One on one coaching

1:1 Coaching

Most cookie-cutter financial planning programs fail to make a lasting difference to their client's lives because they don’t understand, evaluate, or heal their client’s unique relationship with money.

That’s where Accountable coaches are different.

Through our proprietary Coach-Match process, we’ll connect your community members with an Accountable-accredited coach whose values, motivators, and personality aligns with theirs, so they feel seen, heard, and understood.

Group coaching

Group Coaching

Money stress can be hard to overcome. Especially if your community has to work through it all by themselves.

But what if they didn’t have to do it all alone?

What if they could share their financial journey with a community of individuals on the same journey as them, who understand exactly where they’re coming from, and support their dreams and transformations?

Participants of the Group Coaching Program will get access to:

  • Live virtual group coaching sessions where you’ll deep-dive into special focus areas every month
  • Teaching videos and handouts to help you prepare for the live session
  • An assigned Accountable coordinator and coach you can reach out to for support anytime
