Why We Like It

Conscious Bookkeeping™ is unlike any finance-management system that we’ve encountered. Founded by financial therapist Bari Tessler, MA, Conscious Bookkeeping™ doesn’t just focus on setting budgets and paying bills — which we all know can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Instead, it combines the practical skills of financial literacy with an introspective, values-aligned money philosophy (which goes hand-in-hand with our goal of helping you live a more deeply satisfying life).

Conscious Bookkeeping’s goal is to help you uncover your past money habits (many that are likely unconscious) so you can develop a better relationship with money and have more confidence, comfort and success in the financial realm. It’s an excellent program for anyone who wants to more consciously manage their money or dreads the process of balancing a checkbook, managing investments and so on. It provides them with an alternative that’s in line with their values and what inspires and motivates them on a daily basis.

How It Works

Tessler helps individuals and couples find financial ease with the “Three Gateways”:

Financial Therapy: Exploring your relationship with money on a practical, emotional, psychological and spiritual level so that you can uncover the unconscious beliefs you have about money and find more financial freedom and happiness.

Values-Based Bookkeeping: Learning to set up and maintain a bookkeeping system that is named and organized in a way that has personal meaning to you; creating a regular practice on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

Life Visioning: What are your true values and how can you live in alignment with them? What kind of lifestyle do you want to create and how can your new relationship with money help manifest this? The ultimate goal of this practice is to help you discover and live true to the answers to these questions.
