Our Story
Karen always had a good head for maths in school, and not in an abstract kind of way either. What she really wanted was to understand why things add up the way they do…
This ‘simple-math’ approach is why Karen’s clients love her.
Originally starting out in 1997 as a representative for a company specialising in family budgets, she began to appreciate how personal finance issues could be such a source of tension for so many people. Even armed with a well thought out plan, people needed more help than she could currently provide.
She soon realised that she needed to go out on her own in order to facilitate lasting change and this ultimately led her to becoming a finance broker.
Lakeshore Finance was started in 1998 and was born out of a desire to really help people thrive with their financial decisions.
