Finally Understand Your Money — And Stop Dreading What You Don’t Know
Financial education and expert-level content for women who are ready to stop avoiding and start handling.
Sound familiar?
You’re smart, capable, and doing a lot. But somewhere between work, family, and everything else on your plate, your finances ended up on autopilot. And the longer you wait, the heavier it feels.
Maybe your money disappears every month, and you can’t explain where it went. Maybe there’s a pile of mail you keep meaning to deal with. Maybe your parents are getting older, and you’ve been putting off a conversation you need to have.
That’s where I come in. I’ve spent my career helping women understand their money, get their paperwork under control, and prepare for what’s coming before it becomes a crisis.
Services and Expertise
Financial Education for Caregivers
If you’re managing your own finances while watching your parents get older, you’re in the right place. I create educational content for adult daughters navigating the financial side of caregiving, including what to know, what to ask, and how to prepare before a crisis forces your hand.
Daily Money Management
From paying bills on time to tracking expenses and reconciling accounts, I handle the day-to-day financial tasks that can easily fall through the cracks. Practical, hands-on support for people who need more than advice. They need someone in their corner, actually doing the work.
Tax & Accounting Content Writing
Most financial content is either technically accurate or easy to read. Rarely both. I write bylined articles, ghostwritten pieces, and educational content for accounting firms, fintech companies, and financial publications, bringing CPA-level accuracy to writing that people actually want to read.
Do you feel…
Like your money is just disappearing?
You bring home a good paycheck. But at the end of the month, you couldn’t tell anyone where it went. There’s this persistent, uncomfortable feeling that you should have more to show for it. You’ve tried apps. You’ve set up spreadsheets. Nothing sticks. What you need is a real plan built around your real life.
Worried about your parents’ finances?
You can see things starting to shift. A missed bill here, a confusing notice there. You don’t know if their documents are in order, where the important accounts are, or what you’d do if something happened tomorrow. You want to get ahead of it, but you don’t know where to start, and you’re not sure how to bring it up without it feeling morbid. I know what you need to have in place and how to have the conversation that makes it possible.
Like you’re running out of time to get this right?
Retirement isn’t abstract anymore. You can see it from here, and you’re not sure you’re on track. Every year that passes without a real plan feels like a year you can’t get back. The window is still open. But it won’t be forever.
I Can Help
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you ask for help. You just have to be ready to start.
I work with women who are smart, capable and stuck because nobody ever made this feel approachable.
Whether you’re looking for financial education or expert-level content for your brand, I bring more than a decade of experience to every conversation.
Get to Know Janet Berry-Johnson
I know what it feels like to have financial chaos humming in the background of an otherwise full life. I’m a CPA with over two decades of experience in tax and personal finance.

Janet Berry-Johnson, CPA’s Biggest Fans
I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients—from busy professionals to seniors, small business owners to college students—each with unique needs and challenges. Here's what our clients are saying.
“Janet is such an incredible resource. Keeping track of bills and knowing what’s where with our own finances can be stressful enough—but add in the responsibility of managing it all for a parent, while juggling work, kids, and life, and it can get overwhelming fast. Janet is truly excellent at what she does. She’s a CPA, smart with finances, and brings a calm, organized presence to what can feel like chaos. But beyond that, she’s just ridiculously kind and incredibly trustworthy. I have zero hesitation putting something this important in her hands, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone and everyone.” - BW
