Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work with me if I’m not a US resident or citizen?

Unfortunately, no. I am only an expert on United States based personal finance.

Can you help me file my taxes?

Unfortunately, no. You want to look for an accountant, enrolled agent, or other tax preparer!

Can you manage my investments for me?

No, that’s not a service we offer. Check out my referral page!

Can you help me if I'm broke?

Maybe! It’s up to you to determine if it feels like a good use of your limited time, energy, and money to invest in your money knowledge, skills, and tools right now. Sometimes that is the case, and I’d love to be of help! But sometimes it makes more sense to use limited time and energy to only focus on ways to bring in income. If you are looking for resources about how to bring in money in a way that's better suited to your needs, brain, and body, I recommend the free podcast "Have a nice life" for pragmatic, class-conscious, and disability-conscious career advice.

Also, if you might benefit from state benefits or support from nonprofits, I recommend FindHelp.org as a starting point to learn what might be available to you!

I’m interested in becoming a personal finance professional. Can you help me?

If you agree that racial capitalism is real and is bad, I have a cool resource to point you to! Email me at river@beintentionalfinancial.com.
