Become a Lunch Money Certified Coach

In short, this program is designed to help you master Lunch Money so you can serve clients with confidence, grow your business, and give our users access to expert guidance we can’t always provide.

This certification is designed for coaches who want to build credibility, gain visibility in our community, and expand their coaching toolkit with Lunch Money.

By the end of the certification, you’ll be able to:

• Master Lunch Money tools: Learn and practice both foundational and advanced features of the platform, confidently navigate every function, and set up complete budgets quickly and effectively.
• Deliver powerful client experiences: Collaborate through shared budgets, transaction reviews, and real-time synced data while tailoring Lunch Money to unique client needs and keeping them motivated.
• Troubleshoot with confidence: Solve common issues independently and apply Lunch Money’s flexibility to recommend the right features in any situation.
• Grow your coaching business: Demonstrate credibility with Lunch Money certification, gain visibility in our directory, attract clients through guest publishing, and expand your reach in our blog, socials, and Discord.
• Build skills through practice and community: Hone your coaching approach by working with volunteer clients from the Lunch Money community, represent our mission with confidence, and connect with a growing network of certified coaches.

The emphasis of this program is on budgeting and expense management specifically through Lunch Money, and how you can apply that within your existing financial coaching practices. This program is not designed to teach you the fundamentals of budgeting, personal finance, or how to be a financial coach.

This will be a seven-week program that combines live, cohort-based learning with three to five hours of weekly commitment. You’ll get direct instruction, plus ongoing and real-time support and community in our dedicated Discord channel.

You don’t need specific licenses to join; this certification welcomes any coach or advisor interested in growing their practice with Lunch Money. That said, our early cohorts may give preference to applicants with established practices or credentials.

We just wrapped up our first cohort in December 2025 and we're looking to run our next cohort starting either in January or February 2026.

You can expect the program to last seven weeks, with a weekly commitment of three to five hours.

Certification for early cohorts will be priced at a discount of US$350. Periodic fees may apply to maintain your partnership, directory visibility, and access to updated training as new features are released.

Absolutely. Being part of the first cohort means standing out as one of only a few certified coaches, gaining early visibility in our large community, receiving priority support, and helping define the future of Lunch Money coaching.
