Take Back Control: Real-Life Financial Solutions for Busy Lives

by Ashley Jansen, Founder of Jansen Advising

Let’s be honest, managing your personal finances isn’t just about numbers. It’s about time, energy, stress, and the mental weight that comes from feeling out of control. I started Jansen Advising because I’ve seen too many hardworking professionals and business owners struggle behind the scenes with their personal finances, even if they’re successful at work.

So let’s talk about the real solutions that can help and how to start turning things around today.

Ashley’s Tip: Don’t close your oldest credit card it can shorten your credit history and actually lower your score.

✅ 1. Credit Repair & Recovery

The Truth: Most credit reports have errors. And most people don’t even know what’s hurting their score.

What We Do: We pull your full report, explain it line by line, dispute mistakes, and create a step-by-step plan to rebuild your score whether you're prepping for a mortgage or just want peace of mind.

Ashley’s Tip: Stop making minimum payments on everything. Focus on the highest-interest debt first while making minimums on the rest then snowball your savings.

💳 2. Debt Settlement & Planning

The Truth: It’s easy to feel ashamed of debt, but most people I work with aren’t irresponsible they’re overwhelmed.

What We Do: We evaluate your full debt picture, then work with lenders (or help you do it yourself) to lower balances, set realistic payment plans, and avoid default or collections.

Ashley’s Tip: Automate transfers to your savings account every payday, even if it’s just $25. You’ll thank yourself in six months.

📊 3. Personal Budget Creation

The Truth: Budgeting apps are great until they get ignored.

What We Do: We help you build a personalized, doable budget that fits your real income, bills, and lifestyle. No guilt. Just a smart plan that finally sticks.

Ashley’s Tip:Search your email for “subscription renewal” or “free trial ending” you’ll be shocked what you find.

🧾 4. Recurring Expense Audit

The Truth: On average, clients are spending $200–$500 a month on subscriptions or fees they didn’t know about.

What We Do: We go through your statements with you, identify hidden costs, and help you cancel or negotiate better rates. It’s like giving yourself a raise.

Ashley’s Tip: Every Friday, take 15 minutes to check your balances and calendar. This small weekly habit can prevent big surprises.

💬 5. Financial Confidence Coaching

The Truth: Money stress doesn’t come from not knowing what to do i’s not knowing how to stay consistent.

What We Do: We offer 1-on-1 support with tools, check-ins, and encouragement. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just need accountability, we’re in your corner.
