Helen Baker is an Australian licensed financial adviser and founder of On Your Own Two Feet, an Australia-wide service dedicated to empowering women to gain and retain their financial freedom. Helen has two Masters’ degrees, in Innovation and Change Management, and Financial Planning, as well as a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree. Before pursuing financial planning, Helen enjoyed eye-opening years in the entertainment industry putting her financial and project management nous to work as part of ie:music, working with well-known performers including Robbie Williams and Sia. She also managed a range of projects including a global acquisition for Reckitt and Colman in Europe, and helped businesses restructure and guided inventors to commercialise their products. Coming from a background that was loaded with love but not money, Helen taught herself to be dollar-wise. A life-long learner, she sought to become thoroughly educated and knowledgeable about money matters, and then wanted to share that with other women: a career-changing move for Helen and life-changing for some of her clients as well as the charities her work supports. Helen’s first book, On Your Own Two Feet: Steady Steps to Women’s Financial Independence was published in 2014 and her second book, On Your Own Two Feet, Divorce: Your Survive and Thrive Financial Guide was published in 2018.

* We live in a time where it has never been a better time to be a woman i.e. #metoo #thefutureisfemale, women need this information.
*Â We have gender pay gap, the retirement gap, and women late 50s+ as the new homeless, so we need to get the information out there.
* It is multi-generational - it helps you get started when young, helps Mum, helps Grandma, helps anyone who is making decisions about their financial future.
*Â Women are wired for financial security, heres to get it and get peace of mind at the same time.
