Build Real Financial Confidence Through Practical Learning
We've designed a program that actually makes sense for regular Australians. Not theory-heavy lectures or confusing jargon. Just straightforward financial education that you can use right away in your own life. Starting September 2025, we're opening our next cohort for people who want to understand money better.

Who's Actually Teaching This?
Rowan spent fifteen years working in financial planning before he realized most people don't need complex investment strategies. They need someone to explain the basics without making them feel stupid. So that's what he does now.
Declan manages the program logistics and keeps everything running smoothly. He's also the one who answers your questions when something doesn't make sense. Between them, they've helped hundreds of Australians get a better handle on their finances.
- Break down concepts into parts that actually make sense
- Use real examples from everyday Australian life
- Create space for questions without judgment
- Focus on what matters most to you personally
This isn't about becoming a financial expert. It's about feeling more confident when you look at your bank account or think about your future.
Interactive Workshops That Actually Stick
Look, we know you could watch YouTube videos about budgeting. But there's something different about sitting with other people who are figuring out the same things. Our workshops meet twice a month, and each session focuses on one specific aspect of financial management.
You'll work through your own numbers during the sessions. Not hypothetical scenarios from a textbook. Your actual budget, your actual debts, your actual goals. And that's where the learning really happens.
- Small groups limited to twelve participants maximum
- Evening sessions designed for working professionals
- Practical exercises using your personal finances
- Ongoing support between workshop sessions
What You'll Actually Learn
Four months. Eight modules. Each one builds on the previous, so by the end you've got a complete picture of how to manage your finances more effectively.
Understanding Your Money Flow
Where does it come from? Where does it go? Most people are surprised by what they discover when they actually track this properly.
Creating a Budget That Works
Not the restrictive kind that makes you miserable. The kind that helps you spend on what matters while cutting back on what doesn't.
Debt Management Strategies
Different types of debt require different approaches. We'll help you create a plan that actually fits your situation.
Building an Emergency Fund
How much do you really need? How do you save it without sacrificing everything else? Practical steps for regular people.
Superannuation Basics
Your super matters more than you think. We'll explain how it works and what choices you should be paying attention to.
Insurance and Protection
What do you actually need? What's a waste of money? How to protect yourself without overpaying.
Long-Term Financial Planning
Setting goals that make sense for your life. Creating a roadmap that adapts as things change.
Maintaining Financial Health
How to keep the momentum going after the program ends. Building habits that last beyond the workshop series.
Why Our Approach Actually Works
We didn't invent financial literacy education. But we did strip away the parts that don't work and keep what actually helps people make progress. Here's what makes this program different from other financial education courses.
And honestly? We've learned as much from participants as they've learned from us. Every cohort teaches us something new about what people really need.
Your Numbers Only
We work with your actual financial situation. Not case studies. Not hypotheticals. Your real bank statements and bills and goals.
Group Learning
You'd be amazed how much you learn from others in similar situations. And how much better it feels to know you're not alone in this.
Ongoing Support
Questions come up between sessions. We're available to help you work through them, not just during workshop hours.
