My Story
Hello, Ingrid Thompson here
Ingrid Thompson
Founder, Healthy Numbers
I love trying to figure things out - and I love working with and teaching others to figure things out and especially Figuring out the Financials!
When I first started work my mum bought me a ticket to attend a "Women and Money" workshop. The 2 key messages I remember 30+ years later
"You need to take charge of your money and create your own financial independence because there is no Prince on a white stallion coming to sweep you off your feet."
"Compound interest is the seventh wonder of the world."
20 years in Corporate Australia enabled me to build my financial foundations. I developed solid knowledge and understanding for how big business operates.
Starting my own business 16 years ago was certainly a shock and at the same time one of the best decisions I have ever made. Small businesses are the very backbone of every economy across the globe. One of the aspects of large corporations are the systems that underpin business operations. My appreciation for these systems only truly developed as I built and grew my own business.
Now it is an absolute privilege to provide financial education and business acumen training to business owners and entrepreneurs across Australia and around the globe.
Financials scare a lot of people. They can be - until someone demystifies them.
Those financial reports are intimidating. They can be - until someone shows you how to use them to tell you what's happening in your business and how to use the reports to make solid business decisions.
The numbers don't make sense. I get it, they don't - until someone shows you how to read the numbers and which numbers to use to make future decisions in your business.
That "someone" is me. This is what I do. I demystify those financials, those reports, those numbers.
