Does having more money automatically make you better with it? 🤔

Not necessarily.

In our latest Behind the Books episode, we're joined by Jason Leong, co-founder and CEO of PocketSmith, to talk about financial confidence, visibility and why simply being curious about your money can make such a difference.

We also get into open banking, AI, the future of Bookkeeping and why better technology doesn't have to mean fewer humans.

Jason's take? As technology takes away more of the grunt work, Bookkeepers have even more opportunity to focus on the insights, conversations and relationships that really matter.

Plus... we may have accidentally turned part of the episode into a PocketSmith discovery call for Kenn and Sandi. 😂

It may be the start of a new week, but our hearts and minds are still firmly enjoying what was an incredible day out at the Her Wealth, Her Way conference.

How often are there opportunities like this, where women get to put themselves and their wealth journeys front and centre? In a climate where less than half of Australian women demonstrate financial literacy, we believe every woman deserves to feel confident holding the pen when writing her own financial story.

It’s a big reason why we went in with the question: What chapter are you in right now?

With four options, visitors to our booth could choose from:
- Turning the Page
- Navigating a Plot Twist
- Writing the Next Chapter
- In My Favourite Chapter

With a custom-made button board that we created ourselves, we asked people to choose which one felt most like theirs. They could also see how others had voted via a live tally we had up onscreen.

We ended the day with over a quarter of the ~1,000 attendees having stopped for a chat, a press of the button, and a moment of reflection on what chapter of their financial story they’re currently in.

Perhaps unsurprisingly for an event of this nature, “writing the next chapter” was the clear favourite from the get-go. A room full of women who’d chosen to spend a day investing in themselves is busy shaping what comes next, after all! So many also generously shared the stories behind their chapters, and those conversations have stayed with us long after the last button was pressed.

A huge thank you again to Mel Browne Money and her team for creating this space, and to everyone who stopped by to say hi and share a little of their story with us. Whatever chapter you’re in, we’re cheering you on 💜

Greetings from the gals on the ground at Her Wealth, Her Way! What a day, and we’re only halfway through.

We’re having an amazing time talking with women of all shapes, sizes and goals to strive for, who have one thing in common - they’re all building their own version of financial success.

It’s been really energising to have these personal, face-to-face conversations with so many women. Every woman’s priorities, circumstances and ambitions are different, and those needs change as life unfolds.

We’ll be sharing more when we’re not so swept off our feet, but we are so glad we’ve gotten to be part of such a unique and wonderful event. Thanks so much Mel Browne Money!

“Australians now spend 1.7 times more on restaurants and dining out compared to 2019.”

Aussies clearly love their food! But is it a tightly-held value, or an indicator of something deeper? In episode three of our Global Spending Map series with our friends at Rask Australia, Gemma Mitchell and PocketSmith CEO Jason Leong dig into one of Australia’s biggest discretionary spending categories.

The data shows Australians are spending more on eating, even as other household costs climb. So what's driving it, where are people cutting back instead, and when is spending more actually worth it?

What does a night out really cost Australians — and what are househ...
