• Hello & Welcome to "Your Business Your Finance"

    I am a CPA(Singapore) and a Fellow of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (UK). I have 15 years experience in finance & management in multinational organisations.

    A couple of years ago, I made a mid-life career change to ..... holistic healthcare. I run my private practice in Singapore, and provide online consultations (check out my site AllswellHomeo.com), lecture and write on related subjects like Homeopathy and Flower Remedies.

    This site is my first foray into the world of Blogging / Internet Business, aimed at sharing my financial knowledge with the world and connecting with like-minded souls. I am especially passionate about teaching children the value of money.

    Please bookmark my site and join me on this exciting journey into the world of money, business and finance.
