Financial Peace of Mind, Built Around You.
Meet your Coach: Suzanne
I'm Sue — a financial coach, financial & digital literacy educator, and tax preparer with over 24 years of accounting experience across two countries. I help individuals and families build real financial confidence, in English, French, or Wolof.
For over 24 years, I've worked in accounting services — first abroad, and now here in the U.S., where I founded SMS Peace of Mind Community Support to bring clear, practical financial education to anyone who needs it.
Confusion around credit, budgeting, and money management isn't limited to any one background — I've worked with clients from all walks of life who never got the financial education they needed. That's why my approach combines practical coaching — credit, budgeting, taxes, bookkeeping — with the patience to make sure it actually clicks, and language access in English, French, or Wolof for those who need it. Whether we're working one-on-one or you're learning through one of my live or self-paced classes, my goal is the same: give you the tools to move forward with confidence.
