Jessica M. Garcia MBA CDFA CDC

Divorce Financial Expert on Your Side

Welcome to BrainstormingWomen, a place where you'll find the caring support and guidance you need during this challenging time. I'm Jessica M Garcia, with a mission to empower women to have the difficult conversations during divorce as they gain clarity and prepare for their future.   With the depth and breadth of business strategy, personal finances, and leadership knowledge gained through my years at Bank of America and its predecessor companies, I offer clients a personalized approach to financial literacy and guidance. I believe in leveling the playing field of financial knowledge  for my clients so they may regain control of their finances and make fact based decisions during an emotional time.  


As a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) and also Certified Divorce Coach (CDC), I've witnessed firsthand what is involved in making tough financial decisions, even when you have a financial background.  I want you to know that you're not alone, and I'm here to guide you throughout this journey. I understand the importance of making informed choices that will last a lifetime, I have been through it myself and even with many years of financial background made decisions in the spirit of "let's get his done with".  I do not want you to do that.


I know the challenges you're facing, and I want to assure you that I'll be here for you every step of the way.

WHAT IS A CERTIFIED DIVORCE FINANCIAL ANALYST?

A CDFA for navigating the finances of divorce

A CDFA's goal is to help their clients maintain financial stability and make informed decisions throughout the divorce process. They have specialized knowledge in financial issues that arise during divorce, such as valuing assets, understanding tax implications, and analyzing the division of property. Their unique skillset allows them to provide customized solutions that benefit both parties in the divorce, as well as any dependents involved.

In addition to providing financial expertise during the divorce process, a CDFA can also assist in post-divorce planning. They help their clients make informed decisions regarding the division of property, child support, and alimony, taking into account future financial goals and potential changes in circumstances. They may also provide guidance on budgeting, investing, and saving for retirement.

CDFA professionals come from a variety of backgrounds, including accounting, financial planning, and law. They often hold specialized certifications and undergo continuing education to stay current with the latest developments in divorce finance. CDFA's may work independently or as part of a larger team of divorce professionals, including attorneys, mediators, and therapists.

Ultimately, a CDFA's role is to provide financial clarity and stability during a time of great emotional stress. They help their clients navigate complex financial issues and empower them to make informed decisions that will positively impact their future. By working with a CDFA, individuals going through a divorce can achieve greater financial security and peace of mind.
