SPEAKER: Felicia Flinders

Founder, Wealthways Ltd -Wealth Creation Educator

Felicia is a pensions expert and qualified actuary turned multi-business owner, with over 25 years of experience in the financial services sector. Now a property investor and financial educator, she manages a multi-million-pound property portfolio and is the founder of multiple ventures focused on financial empowerment.

Having built a successful career in the City, both as an employee and an independent actuarial consultant—Felicia now channels her expertise into educating and supporting women across all stages of life. Through her work, she demystifies wealth-building by making pensions, property, and stock market investing clear, accessible, and jargon-free.

Her passion for financial education was deeply influenced by her work in pension review and redress, where she saw firsthand the long-term impact of personal pension mis-selling. Many individuals were encouraged to exit their employer-backed pension schemes and take out personal pensions, unknowingly missing out on valuable employer contributions. This experience shaped the foundation of her mission: to equip others with the knowledge and confidence needed to make informed financial decisions.

Felicia’s financial education platform, Wealthways, is structured around three pillars:

• Wealthways – Pensions: Offering practical tools and checklists to help individuals understand their pension options and ask the right questions.
• Wealthways – Property: Guiding first-time buyers and aspiring investors through the steps to property ownership.
• Wealthways – Stock Market: Reducing the overwhelm and boosting confidence for those new to investing.

Felicia is especially passionate about serving women, from her daughters in their 20s to mothers at the school gates and single mums like her own. Her mission is to empower women with the financial confidence and literacy they need to build sustainable, independent wealth.
