In this bold and honest episode of She Means Business, we meet Grace Hardy—an entrepreneur, investor, and unapologetic disruptor using tech to create lasting change.

Diagnosed with severe dyslexia at age 5 and ADHD at 20, Grace carved her own path outside the traditional system, proving that neurodivergence isn’t a limitation—it’s a superpower.

After launching her career through an apprenticeship and spending three years at a mid-sized accounting firm, Grace made a life-changing decision: she quit her job at 21 to start her own accounting firm. Since then, she hasn’t looked back.

Today, Grace runs her own firm, holds a fund license, and invests in female-founded businesses through a private equity crowdfunding platform she built from the ground up.

She’s a champion for female founders, financial inclusion, and using technology as a tool to open doors that were once shut.

🚀 This episode is a rallying cry for anyone who's ever felt underestimated—and chose to lead anyway.

In this episode of She Means Business, we sit down with Chloe Fallon—mathematician, accountant, and founder of Lodestar—to explore how women are redefining what leadership, flexibility, and trust look like in the world of modern accounting.

Chloe shares her journey from studying maths at university to launching her own firm at the dining room table while raising two children. After rising quickly through the ranks at a mid-sized firm and facing work-life balance challenges, Chloe made the bold decision to build something new: a values-driven, fully remote practice that prioritizes people as much as profit.

Now leading an international team across the UK, Bulgaria, and Saudi Arabia, Chloe opens up about remote-first culture, flexible work, and her transition from “doer” to empowered leader—with support from mentors, business coaching, and a clear vision for impact.

From B Corp certification to carbon accounting and virtual pub sessions—this is the future of accounting, reimagined.

Let’s champion tech, trust, and trailblazing women in finance—together.
