Kerry started BeingFIT because she felt financial services for everyday families were lacking at best, filled with conflict of interest at worst, and more importantly missing the big picture. She knew she could do better and decided to create a modern financial services firm for everyday families looking for a family office like experience. Prior to BeingFIT, Kerry spent over 15 years working for large financial firms, specializing in retirement, investments, cash flow, insurance, business, estate, employee benefits, and tax. She served as a Financial Planning Consultant to financial advisors, where she created and reviewed thousands of financial plans for optimal strategies and integrity. Kerry also provided financial education and consulting to financial advisors located at various institutions across the country. Now Kerry focuses her energy on providing her clients with holistic financial planning and tax advice, and educating the public in areas such as strategies for tax allocation and investment strategy, equity compensation planning, and real estate investing. Kerry is also a fitness advocate and loves meeting new people and learning about their money stories and fitness journeys. Outside of her professional work, you may find Kerry enjoying life with her 14 year old daughter, camping or cruising in their Jeep, traveling to fun locations, at the hockey rink watching her daughter play, lifting weights, or practicing yoga. Kerry’s 5 top values in life are family, health, independence, honesty, and meaningful work.

New Shore Financial was born from my passion to help professional women navigate the challenges associated with financial changes in their lives. Too often, I see women who have remained hands-off or simply have no time when it comes to their family finances. When faced with new choices or challenges, they are not sure which is the best financial decision given their personal circumstances. I am committed to helping women understand and take control of their financial life. As a young woman, it was important for me to be financially independent. I remember hiring my first CPA to do my taxes and my father saying, “Don’t just file those away. Look them over and get an understanding of what’s going on”. I heeded his advice and learned I actually enjoyed diving into the numbers. I found that I had a strong interest in personal finance. I enjoyed reading about it, learning new strategies and implementing what I learned in my own financial life. My strengths and interests came together for me in a career path that allows me to help others navigate their own finances in a way they can understand, implement and feel confident about.
