No—YNAB doesn’t provide financial advice or financial advisors, but we do offer other kinds of support. Financial advisors may encourage their clients to use YNAB as part of their financial advising (and may even use YNAB with their clients), but they haven't been through any sort of official YNAB training. We do, however, have a fantastic group of YNAB coaches and a wonderful Support team.

*   **YNAB coaches** paid for a rigorous course **and** passed an exam to become an official certified YNAB coach. Coaches help their clients use YNAB and make real progress toward their financial goals. If you're interested in coaching, we maintain a [directory of certified coaches](https://www.ynab.com/coaching/directory).
    
*   **Our Support team** receives extensive and ongoing training and are experts in YNAB, the Method and the app. If you’re stuck or just need encouragement, [tell the chatbot you need a human or send us an email](https://support.ynab.com/en_us/how-to-get-help-SygqcvtC5). You won't be provided with financial advice, but you **will** receive individualized support and/or encouragement!
