Understanding Breadwinning Women with Neela Hummel

This week I sat down with fellow Financial Planner and Abacus
partner Neela Hummel to discuss what we see in breadwinning
women.


Neela is passionate about women taking their finances to the next
level. Women are increasingly out-earning and in control of more
money than their male counterparts, yet many company policies and
financial services are leaving women out. Her goal is to step
outside the “paint it pink” model and tailor financial planning
to the unique needs of different types of women. As any woman
knows, different women have different needs, and She specializes
in working with breadwinners, decision-makers, and young
inheritors.

Neela is a partner with Abacus Wealth Partners. Since 2009, Neela
has helped grow a firm that values and supports women through
flexible policies, career advancement, and equal pay for equal
work. As a consequence, 50% of Abacus’ advisors are women, in an
industry were 20% is the norm. Neela was named as Investment
News’ “40 Under 40” for financial advisors in 2016 and is a
graduate of UC Berkeley.

Neela lives in Los Angeles with her wonderful husband, two
adorable children, and two rescue dogs. She is an avid traveler
and foodie, taking any opportunity to visit a new country, try a
new restaurant, or hone her language skills (she peaks both
Spanish and Italian).
