Ashley McCann

Content Marketing Manager at YNAB

Ashley brings a powerhouse of skills to the YNAB team with a background in writing, journalism, and SEO wizardry. After spending far too long blaming the mysteries of math for her money problems, Ashley discovered YNAB (way back in the days of Whiteboard Wednesday) and learned to think about money as a possibility instead of a problem. Now she manages YNAB's team of accomplished writers and collaborates on messaging and content strategy in an effort to help others experience less financial stress.

When she's not rearranging the alphabet, defending the honor of the Oxford comma, and abusing alliteration, Ashley spends her days in South Florida meeting the many (many) needs of her cats and trying to convince her two young adult sons that her job is legitimate work, despite looking like so much fun.
