budget consultant


Explanation:
Intervenant budgétaire
Personne qui aide les individus ou les familles à gérer leur budget. Elle recueille les renseignements concernant les revenus, les dépenses et les dettes de la personne qui la consulte, analyse avec elle les données recueillies, établit une démarche d'organisation budgétaire et de gestion des dettes, aide la personne à monter un budget type. Elle peut aussi être appelée à jouer un rôle d'intermédiaire entre la personne qui la consulte et ses créanciers ou d'autres instances concernées et à négocier des ententes avec eux. Elle assure le suivi de la manière dont l'individu ou la famille gère désormais son budget et, s'il y a lieu, suggère des modifications à apporter au budget initial.

NATURE OF POSITION:
The Budget Consultant will assist individuals, families, or groups who seek guidance in
managing their money wisely and planning for a secure financial future.
http://www.depts.ttu.edu/pfp/documents2/jobs/Mr_Credit_Solut...

Budget consultants, also called budget analysts, help individuals and organizations manage their finances by controlling spending and setting up budgets. They spend much of their time working by themselves, gathering and analyzing data, then preparing financial proposals. Their priority is to look for ways to cut costs and increase profits.

agree  Daryo

  -> thank you, Daryo
disagree  Lorraine Dubuc: in this context, intervenant is a social worker not a consultant, although budget consultants exist and are called either 'fiscalistes' or 'conseillers financiers' or 'planificateur financier' not in social work context.

  -> No, "conseillers financiers" are "financial advisors," and "fiscalistes" are "tax advisors/experts." A "budget consultant" is neither one of these.//A "planificateur financier" ("financial planner") is not the same as a "budget consultant," either.

budget counselor


Explanation:
Lorraine's comments on my previous answer got me thinking more about this term. While I still believe that "consultant" is valid here (see http://economiesocialequebec.ca/?module=directory&type=1&sub... I recognize that "counselor" might better convey the fact that one of the roles of the "intervenant budgétaire" is to counsel people experiencing financial difficulties.

MMI offers free budget and debt counseling to those who need help with budgeting, money management skills, and credit issues. Certified counselors take the time to thoroughly understand your situation and provide you with specific advice.
http://www.moneymanagement.org/Credit-Counseling/Debt-Counse...

Counselors help people of all community settings and economic backgrounds, assisting them with all kinds of life choices. A certified budget counselor aids in budget creation for economically challenged individuals or those who wish to get a more accurate picture of their finances. Those interested in a budget counseling career should hold a strong desire to help others through financial crises and be able to maintain a high level of confidentiality.
http://www.ehow.com/how_5891334_become-certified-budget-coun...

The terms "credit counselor" and "debt counselor" are certainly more common than "budget counselor," and there appears to be a great deal of overlap in meaning among the terms.
