Entering into counseling with Erin Burns of Financial Advice for the Artist changed my life. Every month I would think to myself, "Where could all that money have gone?" Erin helped me set up a monthly budget, and apply the basic principles of personal finance into my ever-hectic existence. Working with a personalized budget, and with weekly meetings, I was able to achieve many of my financial goals including starting an emergency fund and keeping up with student loan payments. Erin personalized her counseling to suit my needs. She included things in my budget such as headshots and mailings, so I could plan ahead to afford these often expensive ventures. I highly recommend Financial Advice for the Artist! Financial Counseling with Erin Burns will set you up for success, and help you achieve a financial freedom you never dreamed possible. ---Holly Kay Roberts
Erin's class was the push I needed to focus on my financial goals right now. She shows you concrete ways to change your habits and the way you think about money. You are provided with tools & materials to help keep your budget & savings on track month to month. She's personable, responsive to your questions & concerns, and practices what she preaches. It was liberating to see a path to become debt free, have an emergency savings fund, and feel in control of my financial future whether the national commercial or broadway gig comes through or not. I think this type of financial training is a must for artists. ---Carmen Gill
With her warm heart and bountiful knowledge, Ms. Burns reached to me on a personal level. She finds a way to relate to her clients no matter what occupation or income they may have. Ms. Burns finds an easy way to make "budgeting" fun and obtainable without feeling like an individual has no financial freedom. The most important thing she taught me was to put everything down on paper on purpose. ---Brian Steven Shaw
Through my counseling session with Erin Burns, I learned that finances are not as scary as I originally thought. She conveyed to me things I never was aware of about my financial situation. She brought to my attention that I am on an irregular income, and was able to convey in more ways than one how to budget myself accordingly. Erin hears you out and does an excellent job of noticing immediately what your struggle may be. ---Danielle DiCamillo
