Julianne Bell, Founder and Managing Director
Writing has been my passion since I was a child when I would rather spend my school holidays writing stories than playing.
Soon after leaving school I became aware that the best roles for writing (and earning money from it) were in marketing, so I pursued it with a vengeance. As each marketing role was so very different to the last, I soon learned to write marketing material on everything from selling hotels to environmental management - and much stranger things in between!
My last 'real job' was as Business Development Manager for Godfrey Pembroke in Brisbane. I was taken under the Principal's wing, trained well and given the choice to become a financial planner. The technical side of finance didn't feed my creative needs, so I took the plunge and started my own business doing something completely different. (Don't ask!)
It soon became apparent that I wasn’t doing what I truly loved – writing. So in late 1999 I dreamt up Words Unlimited... a business that provided a professional newsletter writing service direly needed by so many financial planners.
As the business grew I extended the services to encompass client communication across the entire financial services industry.
I soon got so busy I couldn’t do it all myself, so I invited former financial planners with a flair for writing to join me. That decision turned out to be one of my best as Financial Writers Australia has access to some of the most passionate financial writers, ready to serve our clients at a moment's notice.
I couldn’t have done all this without the fantastic support of our Client Services Director, Anne Tucker. She is a dream to work with, as all of our clients and anyone who knows her will testify.
Anne Tucker, Client Services Director
I love my job. As Client Services Director, I focus on our clients and delivering the best service possible. In a nutshell, I manage the 'engine room', and closely monitor every project to ensure that our clients consistently achieve the results they're looking for.
I joined Financial Writers Australia when it was Words Unlimited in February 2002 following a varied and interesting career interstate. Backed by a Degree in Business Administration, I’ve worked predominantly within the financial services industry, gaining experience in both the corporate and small business sectors. My roles have ranged from Administration Manager to Business Analyst/Consultant, Managed Funds Development Coordinator and joint business owner of a boutique firm providing financial education to military bases in Darwin.
I am a perfectionist, so I have found my niche at FWA, providing exceptional service to our clients.
Happily married with an active toddler, our home life is a hive of activity. We love bike riding through the parks and taking our boat out in beautiful Moreton Bay.
I look forward to helping you with your next writing project.
