#120 Paridhi Jain

A question the Financial Advice industry has been asking for a long time is – how do we attract the 80% percent of people who do not seek advice?

To tackle this problem head on, Paridhi Jain (LinkedIn: /paridhi-jain) instead started asking – how can I educate people on money fundamentals and enable them to progress to a point in their life where they can afford to engage the services of a Financial Advisor? Enter Skilled Smart (https://skilledsmart.com.au).

Before Paridhi founded Skilled Smart, she spent a lot of time talking to both potential students and financial advisors to better understand their problems and how she might be able to bridge this gap in money education.

Through Skilled Smart, Paridhi has developed a six week program and partners with finance professionals to teach and help adults navigate their way around the ‘money game’.
