About Michelle Petrowski, CFP, CDFA, Mediator

Michelle Petrowski (formerly Buonincontri) is the Founder and CEO of Being in Abundance and is on a mission to provide access to financial planning for those that seek it. She believes that wealth is more than money and solid financial advice should not begin and be centered on investments as has been the tradition with advisors of the past. Having been a successful woman in tech, tax-preparer, married, divorced, a step-mom, single mom, a sandwich generation care-giver, a mid-life career changer, and an entrepreneur, she knows that life is shades of grey, and all aspects are inter-related.

Michelle focuses on creating a judgement free space for clients to discover and achieve their goals and dreams through the building and using of their financial resources; meeting clients where they are, rather than where they or society has told them they “should be” at this point in their life. Through a planning approach, that aligns values and financial choices and considers choices through a tax lens, Michelle guides clients to becoming exceptional stewards of their own finances, uncovering previously “unseen” possibilities for their life, and creating opportunities to have a fuller life of impact.

Through her other firm, Being Mindful in Divorce, she works with singles, couples and other divorce professionals committed to reducing the emotional and financial impact of divorce for themselves and their family. Many times, these clients are thriving professionals, sandwich generation wealth-protectors, or those of Grey divorce with a common goal of re-building a financial foundation and to support generational wealth.

In both her professional, personal and philanthropic work, Michelle is committed to financial wellbeing and expanding the perspective that wealth is more than money. She continues increasing accessibility to financial planning through ongoing outreach, education, and comprehensive service offerings thought her firm and her work with Savvy Ladies in NY and Fresh Start Women’s foundation in Phoenix.

Michelle, is a nationally-recognized financial expert, and has been featured in CNBC, MarketWatch, Forbes, Yahoo Finance, and digital outlets, has spoken at FPA Knowledge Circles and is a contributor on Wealth Management to Retirement Daily; TheStreet. She is a former Board Member of the Financial Planning Association in New York & Greater Phoenix, and she currently serves on the Board for the Maricopa Association of Family Mediators and the Alisa’s Angel Foundation, both in Arizona.
