When Mariam Mohammed was stuck in a policy job in Canberra, she knew there had to be a better way to make positive change. So, she co-founded a startup - MoneyGirl – the first social enterprise of its kind in Australia.

TODAY’S EVENT

Today’s event has lessons not just for social entrepreneurs. It also has tips about how you handle your startup’s accounts. “If your personal finances haven’t been figured out then the same things are going to plague your business,” said Mariam Mohammed. Tune in to hear the MoneyGirl story and why its training workshops are getting sold out. Ask questions live to Mariam about managing your own finances and what your mindset has got to do with it all.

Mariam is listed on the Australian Financial Review 100 Women of Influence, and a 2020 NSW Young Woman of the Year Finalist. Besides the high achievements, she is all about community. In 2017, she became the President of Sydney University Postgraduate Association – leading the team that delivered a 600% increase in the organisation’s community engagement. By 2019, she had co-founded MoneyGirl to empower and inspire women to become financially independent.
