I help parents, financial advisors and wealth managers teach the next generation about money!I'm a CPA by training but I'm definitely not your “typical accountant”! I began my career at one of Canada’s largest accounting firms, but quickly transitioned into the real estate industry and from there, to the complex world of derivatives. Today, I'm a professional speaker and the award-winning author of The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life.I graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce (with High Distinction) from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and earned my Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA) designation in 1989.I'm also passionate about improving opportunities for women CPAs to advance into positions of leadership. From 2008 until 2017, I was a member, and then Chair, of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada’s Women’s Leadership Council.Specialties: Financial literacy, Personal finance, and investing.Women's leadership in the accounting and finance profession.
