Financial copywriter | Ghostwriter for founders & financial managers | Building a remote business

I help in two ways.

1) Financial content that connects with your audience: 

> Ghostwriting for businesses and founders (articles, social-media content and others). 
> Landing pages and website copy.
> Action plans to make your content work (content strategies). 

2) Tips to create a freedom lifestyle:

> Build a slower business and lifestyle, where you get to do what you love at your own pace. 

Some feedback from my clients:

"I have enjoyed working with Thilini for a couple of years now. She is an excellent writer with deep knowledge of complex financial topics. She behaves like a fiduciary even when it's not required, which makes the compliance review painless and easy. Thilini is excellent with facts and is careful to seek out current information in a constantly changing legal landscape, even across borders. She really is a fantastic addition to any content team."
Kimberly Rotter, CEO of An Army of Writers

I can thoroughly recommend Thilini to anyone who requires the services of a financial copywriter. Not only is Thilini a talented and creative writer, she is a joy to work and an absolute pro.

Backstory:

I come from a financial background, with over a decade of experience in several roles between Australia and Sri Lanka. 

In 2019, I quit my full-time job in Sydney to travel and take a career break, and moved across the planet to Mexico. Later, I started building a remote business drawing from my experiences and adventures.
