About Armond Croom
Armond is a husband, girl dad of 3, and U.S. Navy veteran.
He has always been a number’s guy; he graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in finance.
Armond has been a trusted financial advisor for over 15 years and is the founder and CEO of Croom Financial and The Financial Effect blog.
But, in the early years of his career as a financial advisor, something was amiss—he felt like a fraud. Why? Armond was $30,000 in debt and by his calculations, he was going to owe the IRS another $30,000 at the end of that year. YIKES!
Armond decided to take charge of his life and his finances. In less than a year, he was the first success story of The Financial Effect budgeting system.
Armond is committed to helping people live their best lives. He believes that by using money as a tool families can change their financial future, just like he did.

The Financial Effect
What is it?
The Financial Effect
What is it?
If you knew me you would know that I am a guy who likes to have fun. I like to smile, I like to show up to the party with the great bottle of wine and just kick it.
There are only a few things that I get serious about. My business, my family, and my wine.
I view my role in my family like a field-goal kicker on the field. I have one job and one job only – make sure the money is right. Sure, there’s some other things that I could do, but for the most part I need to make sure that the money is right. Crazy thing, once the money is right you are able to focus on so many more things.
- You’re able to spend more time with your children.
- You’re able to be more present with your spouse.
- You’re able to focus on your own personal growth or hobbies.
The Financial Effect is about the fight to keep control of your finances while your family tries to pull you into different directions. It’s about being a leader in your household when it comes to money. And making financial decisions for your family as if their lives depend upon it. In my mind if the money isn’t right, then my wife isn’t as happy. If my money isn’t right, then I’m not as happy. If mom and dad aren’t happy, we don’t show up to be the best parents we can possibly be for our children. Then the children don’t grow up to be the best that they can be. So, put me in coach I need to punt it in.
