Financial Education Specialist
Susan Marshall
Susan works with couples and families to build a clearer, more confident financial future. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by debt, unsure how to save consistently, or simply wondering if their money is working as hard as it could be. She meets each family where they are — taking time to understand their income, expenses, goals, and the financial habits that got them to this point. From there, she develops practical strategies focused on paying down debt, growing long-term savings, and identifying opportunities to create passive income streams that generate returns in the background. Her approach is grounded and straightforward — no jargon, no generic playbooks — just honest guidance and a clear plan built around real life.

Stu K.
Owner, Retail Business
"The fiscal education sessions with Premier Business and Financial Consulting completely changed how my wife and I think about and manage our money. Before working with them, we were just getting by — no real plan, no clear direction. Now we have a solid roadmap for paying down our debt, building long-term savings, and putting our assets to work generating passive income. It's the kind of practical guidance we didn't know we were missing."
Bob and Linda T.
Family Business Partners
We were drowning in operational chaos — overlapping workflows, rising overhead, and no clear path forward. Premier Business and Financial Consulting came in, assessed where we were losing time and money, and built practical systems that actually worked for our business. Within months, our processes were tighter, our costs were down, and we finally had room to focus on growth.
Patricia G.
CEO, Service-Based Company
Working with Premier Business and Financial Consulting was a refreshing experience. Gary took the time to understand our specific situation before offering any recommendations. The advice was clear, practical, and free of the confusing financial jargon we had encountered elsewhere. What stood out most was that they weren't focused on a quick sale — they asked the right questions, laid out a realistic path forward, and made it clear that our long-term success was the actual goal.
