Financial Hardship Is a Season — Not Your Identity.

Steady, judgment-free coaching for individuals facing foreclosure or bankruptcy who are ready to rebuild with confidence.

About Me

My Commitment

At SGerke Bookkeeping & Financial Services, I help individuals navigate financial crisis with clarity and confidence. If you are facing foreclosure, overwhelming debt, or considering bankruptcy, you are not alone — and you are not without options.

 

As a financial professional with extensive experience in bookkeeping, payroll, and financial systems, I bring both technical expertise and practical strategy to help you:

  • Understand your full financial picture

  • Evaluate foreclosure and bankruptcy options

  • Communicate effectively with lenders

  • Build a realistic recovery plan

  • Stabilize cash flow

  • Rebuild financial confidence

 

My approach is structured, supportive, and judgment-free. Financial hardship can happen to anyone — especially during midlife transitions, health challenges, job loss, or economic downturns. Together, we create a plan focused on solutions, not blame.

 

Originally from the Omaha, Nebraska area and having lived across multiple states, I work with clients nationwide via secure virtual sessions.

 

My goal is simple:
Help you stop the financial freefall and build a stable next chapter.

​

If you're looking for someone who has been through this, reach out - I'd be happy to help.

Who I help

I Work Specifically With:

  • Gen X and Baby Boomers (ages 45+)

  • People who feel ashamed, stuck, or financially defeated

You’re not “bad with money.” You may just need a structured recovery plan.

Facing Foreclosure or Considering Bankruptcy?
Before you make any major financial decision, get a clear, structured plan.

The Reality

If you are:

  • Behind on mortgage payments

  • Receiving foreclosure notices

  • Overwhelmed by credit card or medical debt

  • Being contacted by collectors

  • Considering bankruptcy but unsure

You are not alone — and you are not out of options.

Panic leads to rushed decisions.
Clarity leads to better outcomes.

How I Help

I provide Financial Crisis Coaching specifically for Gen X and Boomers who need calm, informed guidance.

Together we will:

✔ Map your complete financial picture
✔ Assess immediate risks
✔ Review foreclosure and bankruptcy considerations
✔ Develop a short-term stabilization plan
✔ Create a longer-term recovery strategy

This is structured, confidential, and judgment-free.

Three Stages of Support

Stage 1: Prevention
Strategic review and lender communication planning to explore options before filing bankruptcy.

Stage 2: Preparation & Navigation
Organizing financial documentation, understanding what to expect, and preparing for attorney consultations.

Stage 3: Post-Bankruptcy or Post-Foreclosure Rebuild
Credit rebuilding strategy, budgeting structure, and long-term financial stability planning.

Schedule a Confidential Financial Crisis Assessment.  
You do not have to solve this alone.

I am a financial coach — not an attorney.  I work alongside (not replacing) legal counsel when necessary.  Financial coaching services are educational and strategic in nature and do not replace legal or tax advice.
