Nicola became a Financial Adviser after seeing the impact of poor ‘everyone fits into one mould’ advice with detrimental long term implications. During her studies to become a Financial Adviser, Nicola was recognised as No.1 in Australia for Personal Financial Planning and Superannuation when undertaking the CPA Program.
Before being a Director at Venture, Nicola was a public practice accountant for a Melbourne firm, and was drawn to the Bendigo lifestyle, particularly its coffee culture and lack of peak hour traffic.
