🎙️ Episode Title: From Financial Junk Drawers to Family CFOs: Beverly Krzmarcik on Building Strategy, Stewardship, and Peace of Mind

When it comes to money, most families don’t struggle with earning—it’s with organizing, aligning, and truly enjoying what they’ve worked so hard for. In this episode of Finance Leaders Retirement Insights, Daniel sits down with Beverly Krzmarcik, founder of Your Virtual CFO, to explore how she helps high-income professionals and families bring order, clarity, and purpose to their financial lives.

Beverly shares her journey from discovering a natural talent for numbers in university to building a career as a trusted “family CFO.” Her approach goes beyond spreadsheets, focusing on strategy, stewardship, and creating space for families to ask the deeper questions about money, vocation, and purpose.

You’ll hear how she helps clients avoid the dreaded “financial junk drawer,” why enjoying money today is just as important as saving for tomorrow, and how faith and family experiences—including raising a child with cystic fibrosis—have shaped her philosophy of balancing risk, resilience, and joy.

- The importance of coordination between tax, insurance, investments, and estate planning
