Leadership and financial confidence are deeply connected. The ability to understand money, manage risk and make informed decisions shapes not only businesses but futures. At RISE 2026 – Women Leading the Future, the Money Mastery Lab has been created as a space where these conversations take centre stage, bringing together voices from finance, business and education to explore how women can strengthen their financial understanding and build sustainable success.
We are therefore delighted to welcome Kelly Jackson, founder of Jackson Accounts, as co-sponsor of the Money Mastery Lab at RISE 2026, bringing with her more than a decade of experience supporting entrepreneurs, professionals and growing businesses with practical financial insight and guidance.
Based in Bolton, Jackson Accounts has built a reputation for offering clear, supportive and trusted financial advice to small and medium-sized businesses navigating the realities of tax, compliance, payroll and financial management. Under Kelly’s leadership, the firm has grown steadily through long-standing client relationships and word-of-mouth recommendations, reflecting an approach that places people at the centre of financial services. Rather than simply presenting figures and reports, Kelly focuses on helping clients understand their numbers and what they mean for the future of their business.
Kelly’s journey into accountancy is also a story of determination. Early in her career she encountered a profession that often favoured traditional pathways, yet she continued to pursue her ambitions, gaining the experience and expertise that ultimately led her to establish her own practice. That experience has shaped the culture of Jackson Accounts, where clear communication, accessibility and genuine partnership with clients remain central to the firm’s ethos.
Her work also reflects a wider conversation about financial empowerment. Many discussions around financial literacy highlight how women can sometimes feel hesitant engaging with money due to limited exposure to financial education or fear of making mistakes in a field perceived as technical and complex. Through her work with businesses and individuals, Kelly plays an important role in demystifying finance and helping people feel more confident about the financial decisions that shape their future.
We are proud to welcome Kelly Jackson and Jackson Accounts as partners in the RISE journey, supporting a conference dedicated to equipping women with the knowledge, networks and confidence to lead the future.
