On the pod today I interviewed Nicole Martin, owner of Martin & Fortuin, teaching Financial Literacy Australia. Nicole began her career as an accountant in Cape Town, South Africa. After 4 years of training, she made the move into finance, working firstly for a Listed Investment Company, and then as the assistant accountant to the financial director in a manufacturing business.
When Nicole and her family moved to Australia, they settled in Coffs Harbour and she worked as a financial accountant for a company in the seafood industry. With a growing passion for education, she really wanted to work with people and so she launched her business Martin & Fortuin, an organisation teaching financial literacy where she works as an educator with both children and adults doing one on one coaching and also running workshops.
Nicole now also trains other bookkeepers and accountants and has made it her mission to spread and teach financial literacy in Australia.
