Design Your Future Financial Services

Attention Consultants and Visionary Business Leaders: Ever feel like there's more to your financial story? Tired of one-size-fits-all "Financial Advice" that doesn't quite fit?

GROW, CONTROL, and KEEP YOUR MONEY.

Hi, I'm Steve MacLellan, The Financial Engineer. As a 'recovering engineer', I understand the unique challenges you face in the world of finance as a business owner. As a proud dad and a husband, I value personalized, honest, and expert advice – and that's what I bring to your financial journey.

We know money is not just math and stats, it can be very emotional. We also know that once making money becomes easy, the hard part for most is keeping it. Taxes, fees, mismanagement, and social pressures are major obstacles for you to reach and maintain financial independence.

Envision a future where financial independence isn't just a dream. Whether you're a female leader breaking glass ceilings or a consultant shaping the future, let's turn your financial goals into reality.

Apply for our unbiased and expert financial planning for consultants and business owners.

Psst!!! Dive into my book and online course 'Grow Control and Keep YOUR Money.' It's a treasure trove for consultants and women seeking financial freedom and advice that actually works. You can Get the Book on Amazon and Audible and find out more about our Online Course.

Steve is passionate and knowledgeable in the world of personal finance.

Steve has worked with us for years - he checks in and is only a phone call away when we need him. He's helped with more than just our finances, he's help us focus on our careers and family time.

Trevor M.

I met Steve at a networking BBQ and he mentioned investing a small amount of money with environmentally friendly and socially responsible companies. I thought it would definitely be worth exploring. What happened next changed my entire perspective about money. I really wanted to change my financial position and thought, why not give this a chance… and boy I'm glad I did. I was instantly put at ease in our initial meeting ...

Ashley U.

Steve was not there to judge me and my spending habits nor he didn't make me feel incompetent with my financial management up to that point. He only pointed out that I needed a little change in my perspective towards money. Since that meeting, my life has changed. I have more money in my bank account than ever before… and it was so easy to implement with Steve's guidance and support throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Steve"
