Cara Hartley

I am a freelance content writer with a passion for breaking down financial and legal information in a way that is educational, fun, and easy to understand. I have ghostwritten financial content for securities firms and financial coaches, and am a regular contributor to TermsFeed, a legal compliance platform. I specialize in simplifying complicated legal and financial topics–such as which disclaimers to include in your legal policies and the impact of inflation on small businesses–so that you can easily apply the information to your company. When I'm not working to explain jargon and demystify dense topics, I'm either editing my paranormal fantasy WIP, practicing yoga, or hitting the beach with my family.

Education & Credentials

BA in English from Indiana University

Expertise

I am a financial and legal SME with a focus on making complicated topics accessible and practical for small business owners.

Experience

I have 4+ years content and copywriting experience for both digital and print publications.

Personal Quote

"Energy flows where attention goes." - Tony Robbins
