Jennifer Massey APFS says it best 🤝 #IndependentWomen
🌍 Addressing Women’s Wealth Inequality: A Call to Action 🌍 Despite significant strides towards gender equality, the wealth gap between men and women remains a pressing issue. Particularly as two thirds of women say that worry around finances and managing the work/life balance keeps them awake at night. 🔍 Why does this matter? Economic Stability: Wealth inequality limits women's ability to save for retirement. Social Impact: Reducing the wealth gap fosters more equitable societies and inclusive growth. Business Benefits: Companies with diverse leadership are more innovative and perform better financially. 💡 What are Independent Women at Forvis Mazars in the UK doing about it? - Educating investors: Through workshops and seminars for all employees, regardless of gender. - Supporting female leaders: Providing consultations to senior female employees and business owners - Building a female led network: To foster a positive supportive environment for women to connect, share experiences and insights, and to learn from each other. Let’s work together to close the wealth gap and create a more equitable future for everyone. 💪 #GenderEquality #WealthInequality #WomenInLeadership

Yesterday Lindsey Docherty and I hosted the second in a series of presentations for the #WomenInProperty Network. This time we focused on navigating the world of pensions, investments and retirement planning, answering questions like: ⭐️ When can I retire? ⭐️ How much do I need to retire? ⭐️ How should I structure my income and spending in retirement? If any of these are questions you are asking yourself, do not hesitate to get in touch. #IndependentWomen #WomenInProperty #FinancialPlanning #RetirementPlanning
