I spent over two decades working in finance roles — first with Transaction Advisory at EY across Australia and London, advising companies on the sale and purchase of other companies. Later I moved in-house, helping technology teams at Royal Bank of Canada and Transport for London manage significant capital programs. I've spent the last several years leading business management and finance functions inside a major Australian bank's technology division.
I have a Law degree, a Masters in Commerce, and completed the Chartered Accounting program. I've spent my career helping large companies manage their finances efficiently.
And yet — when my second child arrived, I realised I didn't have a clear plan for my own financial future.
That was the moment I started reading seriously. JL Collins. John Bogle. Scott Pape. Morgan Housel. The more I read, the more I noticed the same pattern: the strategy is genuinely simple. The formula fits on a napkin. But almost nobody follows it — not because they're not smart enough, but because nobody ever showed them the system and held them to it.
What surprised me most was who this applied to. Friends working in finance. High earners. People who understood how money worked professionally but had no personal strategy beyond their own home. The disconnect between financial knowledge and financial behaviour turned out to be universal.
That gap is what Simple Path Finance exists to close.
At a time when ASIC is actively cracking down on unlicensed financial content online, the line between education and advice has never mattered more. It's a line Simple Path Finance takes seriously — and one we're transparent about with every client from the first session.
