CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Accredited Debt Relief, the nation’s leading debt consolidation company, today named Bobbi Rebell, a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®), Certified Financial Therapist™ (CFT™), author and former global business news anchor at Reuters, as the company’s chief financial education advisor.
In this role, Rebell will contribute to and help shape Accredited Debt Relief’s educational programming and content to help people in debt better understand and act on their options. Her work will enrich their client experience while also extending free educational resources to anyone navigating debt — supporting the company’s mission to make debt relief accessible so that no one has to face debt alone.
Bringing Dual Credentials in Financial Planning and Financial Therapy
Rebell brings a rare combination of credentials to the role. In addition to her CFP® designation, Rebell holds a Certificate in Financial Planning from New York University and is a Certified Financial Therapist™ — a credential that pairs financial planning expertise with training in the psychology and behavior behind financial decision-making. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Turning Understanding Into Action Through Behavior-Focused Education
“I partnered with Accredited Debt Relief because we share the belief that real progress starts with people, not just numbers. No one should have to figure out debt alone, and that’s exactly the gap I want to help close. Debt is a problem people can solve, but only when they have real information, a clear framework and someone willing to walk through it with them,” said Rebell.
Shaping Accredited Debt Relief’s Educational Programming and Resources
As chief financial education advisor, Rebell will help shape Accredited Debt Relief’s educational programming and resources, drawing on her expertise across evaluating and comparing debt relief options, the behavior and psychology behind money decisions, credit rebuilding and financial recovery after debt, family and multigenerational money conversations, and financial planning through major life transitions.
