Zohul started her career in banking, and loved being able to support her clients with their financial needs. However, she found that the demanding hours and competitive culture did not provide her with the flexibility and control she needed to balance her career and family. So, after undertaking the Academy programme, she set up a financial advice business, and is now in control of both aspects of her life.
"When I joined the Academy, I knew I was ready for a change. In big corporate companies I was a small cog in a massive wheel. This is my chance to make a mark on the world. I feel that financial advice should be for everybody."
