Recovering from financial abuse together.
My Story
What is Strong Women Thriving?
Sherry Lutz Herrington is the owner of Sherrington Financial Fitness, a business consulting and accounting firm specializing in strategic business planning and solid financial accounting for businesses. Most small business owners know how to produce their product or service but often do not know how to run a business or do their own accounting. She felt she could help fill that gap. This has proven to be a win-win formula for over 11 years. Sherry started her firm with the mission of “Helping small businesses succeed.” She called this her outside mission.
She often found herself talking to women about their personal finances, encouraging and advising them on how to improve their lives. She began seeing this as her inside mission “to empower women personally and financially.” When she started writing her book about recovering from financial abuse, she realized that her inside mission had finally found a home. It all made sense.
Sherry’s company, Strong Women Thriving, focuses on empowering women to be financially savvy, particularly after experiencing financial abuse. In addition to writing her book, she is creating a course to help women recover from financial abuse. Sherry is also currently building her speaker’s portfolio and is available to speak to groups about financial abuse.

What is Financial Abuse?
Financial abuse in intimate partnerships is when one partner exerts power and uses manipulation over the victim to control finances in his or her favor, making it difficult or impossible for the victim to acquire, manage, or maintain financial resources.
Financially Savvy.
We define financial savvy as one’s ability to manage their own money with acumen; feel strong and powerful in one’s ability to handle money; make decisions on how to spend, save, and invest money; and possess a mindset of confidence related to money.
