About Me

Hi There! 

I’m Jess, a Financial Coach and it’s my passion to help women and couples to take the stress out of money by teaching them how to spend their money with more intention and in line with their values, so they can create their ideal life. 

Jessica Skene, Financial Coach

I worked as a Corporate Accountant (CPA) for 15 years before deciding to follow my true calling in life, Financial Coaching. 

I’ve always had a love of numbers and finances which is why I went into Accounting. Maths was always my favourite subject in school and I loved all the things; spreadsheets, problem-solving, finding patterns, and analysing what the numbers meant. So much so that I even started budgeting to buy my first home at just 20 years old. This finance stuff was just in my DNA. 

But for some time in my career, I had felt something was missing. I realised that I was stuck in a career I was no longer passionate about. It wasn’t just the numbers I loved, I wanted to help people. 

This became even more clear after starting my own personal finance journey in my mid-20s. With my husband on board, over 4 years we cash-flowed our wedding and honeymoon to Europe and paid off over $40k of Student Loans

But our journey didn’t stop there. 

We would both talk about our dreams of traveling more but the truth was that our spending didn’t reflect those goals. Our priorities were shown in black and white on our monthly credit card statement and it was not reflecting the life we wanted to live.  

We realised we needed to get more intentional with our spending.

Over the next few years we set even BIGGER goals. We traveled to New Zealand for the first time to celebrate my 30th birthday and then went back to Europe with our band on tour (that’s right we had fun + paid off debt!).

Next, we started off with an even bigger goal: paying off our mortgage.

I knew from everything I learned and experienced through that journey that I could help others do the same; achieve their financial goals but still have fun and enjoy life. And that is why I started Minimise With Me Financial Coaching. 

I wanted to help people who felt stuck in life, just like I had felt, to know that they could change their life and create the life they’ve always dreamed of, but maybe never felt it was possible. 

I truly feel that being a Financial Coach and helping people with their finances is what I am meant to do. I’m here to help my clients create a plan for their money that they feel excited about, and that balances their financial goals whilst still allowing them to enjoy life.

A Little About Me...

I’m a Millennial, born in Sydney Australia in possibly the coolest era (that’s right I was a 90s kid) and I have lived here my whole life! I live in Western Sydney with my husband near the Blue Mountains. I love all things sci-fi, documentaries, going for walks, and travelling. In just my short time on this world, I’ve been to 14 countries and am keen to add more to that list! For fun, I play in a Progressive Metal band, go to concerts, musicals, and festivals and I love stand-up comedy.
