Most Australians have no clear picture of their spending patterns. We help you spot the leaks in your budget and redirect funds to what genuinely matters. No magic formulas—just practical tracking methods that work for real households.
Talk About Your Budget
After working with hundreds of households across Queensland, we've noticed these patterns keep showing up. They're not dramatic—but they add up.
That streaming service you forgot about. The gym membership you haven't used since February. They seem tiny individually, but twelve months of here and there becomes real money.
Car registration. Christmas presents. School fees. These aren't monthly, so people forget to budget for them. Then they hit and throw everything off balance for weeks.
If your pay fluctuates—freelancers, commission workers, business owners—you need different planning. Basing everything on your best month sets you up for stress during quieter periods.
We tried the fancy apps. The elaborate spreadsheets. The envelope systems. Here's what we learned: if a method feels like homework, you'll stop doing it within three weeks.
Our approach focuses on the big categories that matter—housing, transport, food, and discretionary spending. We're not interested in whether you spent .80 or .20 on coffee. We want to know if you're spending 0 or 0 monthly on eating out, because that's where adjustment opportunities live.
Financial advice often says "save six months of expenses." That's great in theory, but if you're living week to week right now, it's about as helpful as telling someone to climb Everest when they're still learning to hike.
We start smaller. Can we find 0? That covers most unexpected car repairs or a surprise medical bill. Once that's comfortable, we build from there. The goal isn't perfection—it's progress that doesn't require you to eat rice and beans for six months.
Budget Consultant
I spent five years in retail banking before switching to budget consulting. The thing that surprised me? Most people don't need complicated investment strategies or tax minimization schemes. They need someone to help them see where money's going and make informed choices about redirecting it.
We work with teachers, tradespeople, small business owners—regular folks who want better control over their finances without turning it into a second job. If your budget feels chaotic right now, that's fixable. Usually within a couple of months.
