Expert Financial Education for Budget Consolidation Mastery

We're Here Because Budgets Shouldn't Be This Complicated

Started in 2021 when three friends realized their spreadsheets had spreadsheets. Now we help Australians bring their scattered finances into one clear picture without the usual jargon or confusing charts.

It Started With Too Many Bank Accounts

Back in early 2021, Rhett was juggling five different banking apps just to see where his money actually was. Credit card here, savings there, mortgage somewhere else. Sound familiar? His partner had seven accounts. Their friends? Same mess.

So we built something simple. No fancy promises about wealth or success. Just a way to see everything in one spot and make better decisions with what you've got. Turns out, hundreds of other Australians wanted the same thing. We're still working on making it better every month.

What Actually Matters To Us

These aren't values we put on a poster. They're how we decide what features to build and which ones to scrap when they're not helping real people.

No Hidden Stuff

Your data stays yours. We don't sell it, rent it, or do anything weird with it. Plain language in every policy.

Built For Humans

If our parents can't figure it out in three minutes, we redesign it. Financial tools shouldn't need a manual.

Honest About Limits

We'll tell you what we can't do. Better to be upfront than disappoint you three weeks in.

Who's Actually Building This

Small team, mostly working from cafes around Wollongong. We answer our own emails.

The Way We Think About Financial Education

Most budget courses throw every concept at you at once. We break things down into pieces you can actually use next week, not someday when you're magically motivated.

Start When You're Ready

Programs run every few months throughout 2025 and into 2026. Pick whatever timing works with your actual life schedule.

Learn At Your Speed

Some people finish modules in two weeks. Others take three months. Both approaches work fine. Move through content when it makes sense for you.

Real Questions Get Real Answers

Ask about your specific situation. Not generic advice pulled from a template. We respond within a day, usually sooner.
