ABOUT THE HISTOR CONSULTANT
Cheryl Nester, RIA founder and managing member, brings a unique background to financial and business management. She has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and Master's Level training in Christian education. She has experience in finance having worked as a Registered Representative in 1982 with a national firm, and then in accounting with one of the big eight, now big-four, accounting firms.

Additionally, Cheryl served as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer for a decade within a classical Christian school and has served on numerous nonprofit boards.
During her tenure with nonprofits, Cheryl saw that one of their primary needs was a way to strengthen their management and financial operations while maintaining the integrity of their mission. Her time in the corporate world revealed a similar need with individuals and business owners. With her background in business, accounting, and economics, Cheryl wanted to provide a resource to offer this assistance. In 2008, she began her financial and management consulting work with her companies, HistorInvesting, LLC and HistorConsulting, Inc. In 2013 Historlnvesting, LLC became a Registered Investment Advisor providing fee-only financial advisory services for clients. In 2020, Cheryl became a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and has since worked as an advocate for many divorce proceedings across the United States.
