Welcome to The Money Portal.

A financial consulting and coaching practice led by Serah Blackstone‑Fredericks, a seasoned bookkeeping expert with a uniquely well‑rounded background. Drawing on experience as a musician, anthropologist, mother, and educator, Serah brings a perspective that goes beyond traditional accounting. Her work blends clear financial structure with a strong understanding of people and how they operate. With strengths in both analytical and creative thinking, she delivers practical, strategic support designed to help clients make confident, informed financial decisions.

Serah’s work is shaped by a long‑standing interest in human behavior and the ways people make decisions, especially in entrepreneurial environments. With an academic background in anthropology and decades of experience observing how individuals and communities operate, she brings a nuanced understanding of the challenges business owners face at every stage.

Her perspective is also informed by her lived experience as a single parent and as a woman navigating systems that aren’t always built with equity in mind. This fuels her commitment to supporting those who are building stability for themselves and their families, particularly single mothers working to create long‑term financial security.

In her practice, Serah combines expert bookkeeping with thoughtful, trauma‑informed financial coaching. She helps clients identify their strengths, understand their financial patterns, and develop practical tools for moving toward independence and sustainability. Her approach is clear, grounded, and supportive—focused on helping clients build confidence and clarity around their numbers.

Outside of her professional work, Serah has a love for languages, seasonal food, and the simple rituals that make life meaningful. These interests reflect the same balance she brings to her clients: structure paired with creativity, precision paired with humanity.

A note from Serah: You will notice this site is in progress. That is because it is new, and I am trying out a new platform as the drag and drop option I love is much too costly for a new venture when my goal is always to keep my overhead low.
