Michelle Gershfeld, Esq., AFC®, Founder, Get Financially Fit
With over 25 years dedicated to law, Gershfeld brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry, particularly to her areas of specialization, bankruptcy law and financial counseling. Gershfeld made the transition to become a financial counselor and founded Get Financially Fit in April of 2015. When asked why she decided to change career directions, Gershfeld said:
"I’ve worked in bankruptcy for almost thirty years and learned a lot about personal finance and the anguish associated with money. Over time I have come to realize that it is my calling and my destiny to help people stop suffering due to lack of awareness, knowledge, and confidence."
Get Financially Fit engages participants in thought-provoking activities to understand and formulate personal goals. The program prompts participants to discover places where they are unknowingly and unnecessarily losing money, while striving to teach them concrete money managing techniques, including a twelve-step online financial wellness application which offers clients a variety of highly relevant tools and information specific to their situation.
As a thought-leader in her industry, Gershfeld is set apart in the world of financial counseling by her years of experience in both financial and legal matters, combined with her ability to empower her clients to master money managing techniques and change their current financial reality into a predictable future. She noted:
"Awareness of how money works and understanding the impact of personal finance decisions allows people freedom. Understanding how to manage your income, and conscientiously and consciously spending in line with personal goals gives people choices when they get tangled in the world of consumer debt. I help unravel the details and get my people back on the financial freedom track."
Gershfeld is an active member of the the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education (AFCPE), where she serves as a sub-chair member of the AFCPE Symposium Task Force.
