Most kids graduate knowing algebra, but not how to budget a paycheck. They can recite formulas, but no one has shown them how to build credit, save for goals, or make smart financial choices in real life. This gap leaves too many students stepping into adulthood unprepared and overwhelmed.

That’s why I created Next Play CPA™. I’m Stephany L. Henderson, CPA, MBA, author and founder of The Financial Game Plan series. With over 10 years of experience in accounting, I’ve seen how much stronger young people can be when they learn money skills early. My mission isn’t to teach another math class, it’s to change the way kids and teens feel about money, turning stress into confidence and fear into freedom.

Our goal is simple: to help kids and teens step into adulthood with the clarity to plan, the courage to act, and the readiness to succeed.
