Leaving the City, Building on Your Terms & the Money Mindset Every Female Founder Needs | Fi Titus

She's back — and she's been busy. ✨ Welcome back to From Roots to Froots. If you were with us back in November 2024, you'll remember our first conversation with Fi Titus chartered accountant, Financial Fairy Godmother, and one of the most honest and energising voices in the world of female entrepreneurship and business finance. Last time, Fi reminded us that pensions matter and that retirement should look like a permanent holiday with a cocktail in hand. We haven't forgotten it. Since then, Fi has been anything but still. She is the co-founder of Fineo, an AI-powered platform helping accountants streamline and elevate their client service delivery — and she is still doing the work that earned her the Financial Fairy Godmother title in the first place: bridging the gap between small business owners and the accounting world.In this episode, Arlyne and Fi go deep. Really deep.
