My journey into finance began at the age of 18, deeply influenced by my father’s career at the Chicago Stock Exchange and my mother’s role as a corporate accountant. Immersed in the world of finance, I worked in Corporate Accounting and Finance within the B2B sector for over half a decade. Climbing the corporate ladder, I gained invaluable experience in nearly every sector of finance — accounting, investor relations, financial planning & analysis, and sales commissions. Under the mentorship of a female Chief Account Officer, I managed multiple 8-figure revenue streams, crafted decks for corporate investors, and produced high-level reports, all while curating compensation plans for departments of 20+ employees.

FINANCE
One night, inspired by the book "Six Months to Six Figures," I realized the potential to leverage my expertise to empower women in business. Driven by this newfound vision, I cold-emailed an agency owner in my network, pitching my services. This bold move paid off, securing my first client. Through our collaboration, I helped scale her net worth from $300k to over $2M by strategically investing in real estate and business assets. This enabled her to increase her salary, pay her staff more, reduce taxes by 60%, expand to new locations, and purchase two properties.

PITCH
The success of my first client reaffirmed my belief in the transformative power of tailored financial strategies. More than the financial victories, what I cherished most was the deep connection and trust we built. Witnessing my clients evolve into stronger leaders and CEOs became the most rewarding aspect of my work. Word of mouth and a reputation for results fueled the growth of Centure Financial. This is the essence of my results-driven approach —delivering tangible, lasting impact.

My financial intensive was INCREDIBLE. SOOOO worth it. It's SO wonderful when you make a larger investment in your business that the business will take the time to understand your needs, your business, etc. You could tell the team really did their homework. I feel like they understood me, my business, all of it. They are truly experts at what they do, and I am just so thankful and happy I took the plunge. Centure Financial truly made me feel like I had a sidekick in my business in just one call. I really hope to work with them again in the future!

Shay is so knowledgeable, so helpful, and she makes information that I normally have a hard time understanding, very digestible and less intimidating. After our session, she left me feeling super confident in our plan that we put together and I feel so thankful that I found her and Centure Financial.
