About Our Host
Nigel Baker is the founder of Scientiam.com.au, built by advisers for advisers to simply help advisers engaged with digital to help more people.
Scientiam is unique in that it believes advisers have an important role to play in educating and guiding clients. However, because of time and legislation, it is hard to help everyone and not everyone needs comprehensive advice.
In his private client business, Nigel and his team faced the problem of wanting to help people without turning them away - they looked for a solution and could not find one, so they built Scientiam.
Nigel has two decades of experience in the wealth management industry, having worked for some of the largest global institutions, and was a partner in one of Australia’s largest Accounting and Financial Advice groups. He is also the author of ‘The Super Secret’ which uncovers the truth about how to invest successfully.
Nigel is passionate about helping others understand money better so that they can achieve what is of utmost importance to themselves and their families.
