Cherie Church
Cherita “Cherie” Church is the owner and managing director of the Financial Advice Center and brings over 25 years of experience, from investment banking to more than a decade in pension fund management. A speaker and educator in personal finance, she has been featured in media outlets such as Morningstar, PBS, and Yahoo Finance.
Cherie holds a bachelor’s in Financial Economics and a graduate degree in business (MBA) from the London School of Business. In addition to being a Certified Financial Planner practitioner (CFP®) and a Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) , she also holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA®) designation.
Cherie’s career began in London’s financial district, working with global firms like Barclays and Goldman Sachs before relocating to the US two decades ago to continue her work on Wall Street. But over time, she found herself seeking something more—work that felt more personal and impactful. That pursuit led her to financial planning and, ultimately, to founding her own advisory firm in 2020. Today, she’s passionate about teaching personal finance and helping others, especially women, build financial confidence.
In her own words:
“I count myself incredibly fortunate to do this work that I love! I enjoy getting to know my clients’ stories—their hopes, anxieties, and what matters most to them. It’s profoundly rewarding to guide clients toward that peaceful sense of enough—where fear fades and money becomes a quite enabler in living more fully.“
