This series will help attendees form a game plan and act,” she says.

Alex Davis, CPA, CFP®, is the founder of AGA Tax and Consulting Services LLC. She’s a sought-after financial empowerment coach and tax strategist who didn’t always have the power of finances working in her favor. Davis knows the pain and shame of a messy financial house. As a single mother of two daughters, she turned a $50,000 debt into a $300,000 net worth. This boosted her confidence and allowed her to leave behind a successful yet “soul-sucking career” that was no longer serving her. Davis has now made it her mission to share this gift of financial clarity and confidence.
