Cheese-It Referral: Leslie Mallman, Financial Planner
Best Friend is a numbers guru. Besides being the Director of Financial Aid at University of Chicago’s business school, he has spreadsheet upon spreadsheet of
budgets and projections and all the boring, I mean IMPORTANT, stuff.
I asked him recently about one of his favorite financial blogs.
“I don’t need to read that anymore, I’ve got a Mallman.”
WE LOVE OUR MALLMAN!
Aka our Financial Planner.
We had a Hangouts call with her last night and it was THE most informative, fun, easy to understand, thought-out conversation I’ve ever had about finances. Who says financial conversations are FUN?!?!?
This is a Saya, Best Friend, Mac & Cheese Productions, & TeamPete HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION OF ALL RECOMMENDATIONS.
Anyone who’d use our stupid #petaya hastag on the cover of our very serious Financial Plan is someone I want to work with.
Anyone who’d share with potential clients her dedicated volunteerism, her journey as a caregiver for her terminally-ill mother, and a silly photo of herself accompanied by a terrible pun is someone I want to work with.
Leslie is the best combination of skills and smarts, down to earthness and honesty, fun and kind-heartedness.
Her credentials:
– MBA from University of Chicago Booth Business School
– CFP® designation (recognized as the highest standard in the industry)
– years of working at financial advising firms before going out on her own
– went to a preschool called ‘Cornflakes’ (I mean, c’mon!)
