About the Financial Recovery Institute
In 1998, Karen McCall founded the Financial Recovery Institute to train and certify financial counseling professionals in the methods she developed and honed over twenty years in practice. Her graduates have gone on to create successful practices of their own; some have been profiled in publications such as Woman’s Magazine, Newsday, and Money Magazine.

The overall goal of the Financial Recovery Institute is to train professional counselors to help individuals and families form new relationships with money that are healthy and secure. The purpose of counselors is to help clients understand their relationships to money, confront their self-defeating money behaviors, and develop the financial tools, knowledge, and skills necessary to building or re-building solid financial lives.

The Financial Recovery Institute publishes a number of tools used by individuals and re-licensed by financial professionals for use with their own clients: the MoneyMinder® Workbook, MoneyMinder® Express software, and the Cash Tracker.
