Trish is known for practical advice, to free up your cash, time, reduce stress and help you understand beliefs and actions around money. An internationally published author on business growth & financial intelligence, she can be your ‘as needed’ CFO, to make your numbers better.

She is available as your key note speaker on money or business growth topics and created and runs the L2G Business Leadership Programme.
When she’s not working Trish hangs with Craig and their four kids at their various activities. There are always a few extras at their house and many sleepovers for the kids. She loves umpiring for their netball games and relaxes with a good book, writing or meditating. Her burning inspiration is to help as many people as possible to understand what is holding them back financially.
