Making $$ is simple with Veronica Deraleau

June 09, 2025 • Angela Bradford

Veronica Deraleau is a financial coach, author, opera singer, financial technology manager, and U.S. Army Veteran.

During the COVID pandemic, when performing artists abruptly found their livelihoods on hold, Veronica felt called to share her personal finance knowledge. In ‘Making Money Is Simple,’ Veronica details the actions and mindset it took to pay off over $100,000 of debt in three years on a median salary. In her signature Money Simple coaching program, Veronica helps professionals and creatives stop going paycheck to paycheck so they can provide an abundant life for their families and start living out their dreams.

A classically trained soprano, Veronica started her career serving as a musician in the US Army Reserve, where she performed across the country and abroad at cultural and political events for diverse audiences, including a President and Pope. She continues to sing today across a variety of classical genres, including opera, concert, choral, orchestral, recital, and film.

Upon graduating during the Great Recession, Veronica began working for a start-up and was hooked. Since then, she’s built her career in the commercial private markets, working for early-stage companies across various industries: alternative energy, real estate, private equity, and financial technology. One of her great joys has been supporting early talent in navigating and developing their careers.
Veronica lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Mike, and their dogs, Phil and Minka.
