Hi, I’m Barbara!
I’m passionate about making SMSFs and property easier to understand, so Australians can confidently explore their options, make informed decisions and take greater control of their long-term financial future.
My "Why"
Â
With nearly 20 years of business experience and a background in finance, I’m passionate about helping people achieve their property and financial goals with confidence.
After studying Business at UTS, I built my career working with chartered accountants and investment banks, developing a strong foundation in finance, strategy, and client service. My passion for property started early when I purchased my first property at 19, giving me first-hand experience of the opportunities and challenges that come with building wealth through property.
I founded Financing Hope to provide a more personal, supportive approach to finance. I understand that every client’s situation is unique, which is why I focus on clear communication, trusted financial brokerage advice, and tailored solutions.
Blossom with Barbara is my education platform. It was a natural progression of my willingness to help people through different investment goals in the changing seasons of life. I have created courses which cover the questions I get asked most frequently - setting up SMSFs (Self Managed Super Funds), resetting financially after divorce and other courses to come! These courses are an affordable way for everyday Aussies to learn and implement all my tips and tricks, in a self-paced manner. There is also the option to complete courses with me, as your personal finance coach giving you guidance along the way.
Blossom Life is a smaller, but important piece of the puzzle when it comes to piecing together a comprehensive financial strategy - life insurance. Ensuring you are getting adequate cover to future-proof your investments and safeguard your assets for your family is essential. If you don't do this right, you could be left in the lurch if disaster strikes.Â
So, whether you're buying your first home, investing, refinancing, or growing your portfolio, my goal is to simplify the process, remove the stress, and help you make informed decisions with confidence. Through every stage of your journey, I’m committed to providing expert guidance and genuine support.
If you don't know which solution is best for you, then Book a Clarity Call at a time that suits you, for a complimentary chat.
Blossom with Barbara was built on a simple belief: financial confidence shouldn't be reserved for the few. When you understand your options, you make braver, better choices. Barbara's job is to make sure you do.

Thanks to Barbara, the daunting experience of being a first home buyer was effortless and worry-free.
Barbara not only provided the best finance solutions and property valuations, but she also saved my purchase with the super saver scheme. I had never heard of this before.
When purchasing my next property, Barbara will be the only person I work with.
