Makala Green is an accomplished chartered financial expert, wealth coach, and a trailblazer in the finance industry. As the first black female Chartered Financial Expert in the UK, Makala has made significant strides in a traditionally homogeneous field, breaking barriers and setting new standards for diversity and inclusion. With over 18 years of experience, she has not only transformed the financial wellbeing of individuals and businesses but also championed the importance of representation in finance.

Throughout her career, Makala has consistently leveraged her unique perspective to address the challenges faced by underrepresented groups in finance. She understands the systemic barriers that often prevent minorities and women from accessing financial services and education. This insight has driven her to create Green Wealth Planning Ltd and The Wealth Check, platforms that simplify wealth management and make it accessible to all. Her work has been recognised with numerous awards, including Financial Adviser of the Year for Southeast England and Marketing Influencer of the Year, highlighting her impact not just on individuals, but on the industry as a whole.
Makala’s influence extends beyond her financial expertise. As a speaker, she brings a powerful voice to discussions on diversity and inclusion, drawing on her own experiences to highlight the importance of representation in all sectors. She has been featured in leading media outlets like ITV’s This Morning and The Financial Times, where she addresses issues such as the gender pension gap and the need for financial literacy across different communities. Her ability to connect with diverse audiences and provide actionable insights makes her a compelling advocate for change.
