Meet Betsy Westcott
I believe that financial wellbeing is a fundamental right, not a privilege. I believe that when people have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their money, they unlock more freedom, choice, and opportunity in their lives. But for too many, money feels confusing, stressful, or out of reach. That’s where I come in.
As a Licensed Financial Wellness Coach, keynote speaker, and advocate for financial equity, empowerment, and inclusion, I help individuals, couples, and business owners transform their financial reality. Whether it’s one-on-one coaching, high-impact workshops, or thought leadership on stage or screen, my mission is to make financial education practical, accessible, and life-changing.
I bring deep expertise from advising Australia’s wealthiest families as a Private Banker (NAB & ANZ), scaling a digital bank as Director of Retail Banking (Xinja), and leading sales & communication at financial wellness fintech, Future U. I’ve co-created the Dealing with Financial Stress course with David Koch, championed financial literacy as an ambassador for Ladies Finance Club, and regularly appear as a financial commentator on The Project, Sunrise, The Morning Show, and Your Money, Your Life.
Through keynote talks, corporate workshops, panel discussions, and media commentary, I challenge outdated money narratives, spark critical conversations, and equip people with the tools to take control of their financial future. My work is about more than just numbers - it’s about shifting mindsets, breaking barriers, and ensuring financial wellbeing is a reality for all.
If you’re looking for an engaging speaker, MC, or expert voice on financial empowerment, let’s talk. If you’re an individual, couple or business owner ready to take charge of your finances, I’d love to help.
Let’s create a world where financial freedom isn’t just possible but it’s the norm.
My Why
I believe money should be a tool for empowerment, not a source of stress or exclusion. Growing up, I saw both the weight of financial strain and the freedom that smart money decisions can create. That understanding shaped my career, and my mission.
Through my work, I help individuals, couples, and business owners gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances. But financial wellbeing isn’t just personal; it’s deeply tied to equity, inclusion, and opportunity. Too many people, especially women, feel locked out of financial systems that weren’t built for them. I want to change that.
Because when people are financially empowered, they don’t just change their own lives, they create stronger families, businesses, and communities. And that’s the kind of impact I’m here for.
