Our Story and Mission
Welcome to https://www.google.com/search?q=ItsFinanceGuru.com!
Our mission is simple: to cut through the confusion and jargon of personal finance so you can take control of your money. We believe that financial freedom shouldn’t be reserved for the rich or the experts—it should be accessible to everyone.
We focus on the fundamental, actionable steps that create real, lasting change, largely inspired by time-tested frameworks like the Dave Ramsey baby steps and foundational principles of budgeting, saving, and smart investing.
We are here to help you:
- Eliminate debt and build a solid financial foundation.
- Master simple, effective budgeting and saving habits.
- Start investing with confidence, even if you’re a beginner.
Meet the Founder: Deshan Costa
The site is led by Deshan Costa, a finance professional who brings over a decade of experience in corporate financial consulting. Throughout his career, Deshan has guided more than 100 businesses, ranging from small startups to mid-sized enterprises, in developing robust financial strategies, optimizing cash flow, and achieving sustainable growth.
I started this blog because I recognized that many individuals struggle with personal finances for the same reasons businesses do—a lack of clear strategy, no safety net, and confusion over core principles.
While I am deeply experienced in zero-based budgeting, forecasting, and long-term DIY index fund investing, it is important to know that:
- I am a financial content creator and educator, not a licensed financial advisor.
- My content is based on established financial best practices, extensive research, and corporate financial principles translated for personal use.
My goal is to share practical knowledge and motivate you to achieve your own financial goals by applying business-level clarity to your personal budget.
