Tell us a bit about yourself.
Life is fun, busy and challenging when juggling work and family life. Outside of work I often feel like an Uber driver, dropping kids here, there and everywhere, but I also enjoy cooking for family and friends, playing tennis and planning holidays!
When did you join myprosperity? Where were you before?
I can proudly say I was one of myprosperity’s first employees back in November 2012! myprosperity was my first step out of the corporate world, having spent a number of years working in marketing in financial services at Vanguard, DKN and Norwich Union. A big change, but one I’m so glad I made.
What would you say is the top trend to watch out for in the accounting and financial planning industries?
A big trend we see a lot at myprosperity, and I suppose has been increasing over the last few years, is the number of accounting and financial planning firms that are broadening their service offering or partnering up to become a one-stop-shop for their clients.
What would you say is the most overrated trend?
While not exactly a trend, the white house recently abolishing their Y2K regulations 17 years after the event reminded me of the hype that surrounded Y2K, and the lengths businesses went to prepare for the date rollover bug. As with many overrated trends, it turned out to be a much (much) smaller deal than everyone thought…
What’s a little known fact about Jane?
Before the children, I lived in the UK in a small town called Hailey, in Hertfordshire.
