I’m Kizzy Roundtree — published author, motivational speaker, and independent financial strategist. As an independent agent representing many top-rated carriers, I help families protect their income, build wealth, and create a generational legacy — with honest guidance and no pressure, ever.
Not because they don’t work hard — but because no one ever sat down at their kitchen table and built them a real plan. That is exactly what I do.
If any of these feel familiar, you’re not behind — you’re normal. And you’re exactly who I help.
Start Building Your PlanConsumer-finance statistics are approximate figures drawn from published research and national surveys, including: the PYMNTS & LendingClub New Reality Check: Paycheck-to-Paycheck report series; Bankrate’s annual Emergency Savings Report; Bankrate and NerdWallet consumer debt surveys; the KFF Health Care Debt Survey; the FINRA Investor Education Foundation National Financial Capability Study; the LIMRA and Life Happens Insurance Barometer Study; the Federal Reserve Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking; and the American Psychological Association Stress in America survey. Figures are rounded for readability and may vary by survey year and methodology. This page is educational and is not financial advice.
Wherever you are right now, the goal is the same — a clear plan that protects the people who depend on you.

Your Financial Independence Number is the amount of invested money you would likely need to create the retirement income you want — without depending only on a paycheck, Social Security, or guesswork.
A common rule of thumb is the 4% withdrawal strategy: if your investments are large enough, you may be able to withdraw about 4% of the balance each year to help fund your retirement lifestyle.
Without a clear target, saving for retirement feels vague and overwhelming. Once you know your number, you can reverse-engineer the plan. You can estimate:
The goal is not to scare you. The goal is to give you clarity.
Knowing your number is powerful — but the real work is building a strategy to reach it. A financial strategy can help you organize your savings, protect your income, reduce unnecessary financial risk, and create a clearer path toward long-term independence.
Schedule a ConversationNo surprises and no pressure — just four straightforward steps from first conversation to lasting protection.
We start with a relaxed conversation about your family, your income, your goals, and what keeps you up at night. No forms, no pitch — just understanding.
I bring back a clear, written plan matched to your situation, explained in plain language, with options at different budgets so the decision is always yours.
Once you’re confident, I handle the paperwork and walk you through underwriting and approval. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.
Life changes — new jobs, new children, new homes. We check in regularly to make sure your coverage still fits the life you’re actually living.
Before financial services, Kizzy spent over two decades building a thriving beauty salon in Buffalo, New York — not just creating beautiful transformations, but helping people discover their worth and embrace self-love.
From there she became a real estate advocate for first-time homebuyers, breaking down barriers and guiding families through one of life’s biggest milestones. As a motivational speaker, she has inspired audiences of more than a thousand people to refuse mediocrity and demand excellence.
Today, as a published author and independent financial strategist, Kizzy brings all of that experience together. She represents many of the nation’s top-rated carriers — never just one — so every recommendation is matched to your family and your goals, not a single company’s shelf. Through her book, KIZZYISM, and her work in financial planning, the mission stays the same: empowering people to build the extraordinary lives they deserve.
Two decades helping people see their worth — it’s the heart of how I plan.
I represent many A+ rated carriers, not one — your plan is built around you.
Clear guidance and honest answers — never high-pressure sales.
