About the author

With a strong background in finance and HR, I decided to turn my focus to content management in 2007, working my way up as an expert writer on personal finance, investment, and fintech topics.

I am currently the Country Manager for Financer.com US where I help consumers in the U.S. make better decisions about their personal and business finances.

I also work as a financial writer, editor, blogger, and ghostwriter for various well-known brands worldwide. Prior to joining Financer.com, I’ve owned and managed a small content development firm in South Africa, serving clients globally.

I am currently pursuing an LL.B degree from the University of South Africa and a financial degree from ICB.
