Rising Stars: Meet Jocelyn Lacy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jocelyn Lacy. 

Hi Jocelyn, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
My name is Jocelyn Lacy and I am the CEO of Fortunewallet. At Fortunewallet, we provide a variety of financial services such as small business consulting, credit repair, and email automations. A little background about myself, I have 10 years of experience in the banking industry. My very first job at a bank was at the age of 19 years old. I started as a teller and worked my way up. My former position was as a business banker. I helped both consumer and small business customers with their financial priorities such as new accounts, account maintenance, credit, savings, etc. 

I’ve always been very passionate about credit because I once had bad credit and I repaired it myself. I told myself that I would learn all about credit, how it works, and never be limited again. 

After giving birth to my daughter in 2019, right before the pandemic. My husband and I felt it would be best for me to stay home and not return to my job as a business banker. 

A few months after I resigned, my sister approached me and suggested that I not let my expertise go to waste and to go into business for myself. 

Although, I was grateful to stay home with my daughter. Apart of me missed being able to help customers with their finances every day. It was a part of who I was and had been for 10 years of my life. 

Long story short, I decided to launch my own company providing financial services to assist individuals and small business owners. 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Owning a business is not all glitz and glam. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I focus on being consistent with marketing and networking. But I have faced obstacles along the way such as targeting my niche audience and social media presence. Fortunewallet is currently on Instagram and Facebook. But I’d like to make a Tik Tok and leverage all social platforms. 

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
At Fortunewallet, we offer financial services such as small business consulting, credit repair, and email automations.

What sets us apart is that we work with integrity and are passionate about doing what’s right for our clients. We take pride in educating individuals every week by posting fun financial quizzes on our social platforms.

We are currently focused on increasing our clientele. We will also be launching a budget planner very soon. Our budget planners will not be digital but a hardcopy and include a pen.

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
In the next 5-10 years, we plan to hire staff and expand our company. We also plan to add additional financial services.
