Why Finance Control Matters More Than Ever

Between mortgage rate changes and cost of living pressures in 2025, Australians need reliable systems. Not fancy apps that promise miracles—just solid methods you can stick with.

We focus on three things: knowing where your money goes, making decisions that match your actual priorities, and building habits that last beyond the initial enthusiasm.

Our autumn programme starts September 2025. Classes run Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings to fit around work schedules.

Our Teaching Approach

We skip the theory lectures and jump straight into practical exercises using your own financial situation.

1

Start With Your Real Numbers

Week one, we track everything for seven days. No judgment—just data. Most people are genuinely surprised by what they discover.

2

Build Your Control System

You choose your method. Spreadsheet, notebook, or app—whatever you'll actually use consistently. We teach the principles, not the tools.

3

Handle Real Scenarios

Car breaks down. Medical bill arrives. Tax refund comes through. We practice making money decisions under pressure before real pressure hits.

4

Maintain Long-Term

The hardest part isn't starting—it's staying consistent after three months. Our follow-up sessions keep you accountable through the tricky middle period.

What Eight Weeks Actually Covers

This isn't a quick fix programme. It takes time to change money habits properly. Here's how we structure the learning over two months.

Workshop materials and financial planning tools laid out on desk
Foundation Phase
Weeks 1-2
Understanding your current situation and setting up your tracking system. Most people find this eye-opening.
Building Phase
Weeks 3-5
Creating your personal control system. You'll test different approaches and find what actually works for your lifestyle.
Advanced Phase
Weeks 6-8
Handling irregular expenses, multiple accounts, and planning ahead. The stuff that trips people up after the basics.

What Previous Students Say

"I'd tried budgeting apps before. They never stuck. The difference here was learning why I needed to track things, not just being told to do it. Three months later, I still check my numbers every Sunday morning."

"The follow-up sessions made the real difference. When I hit a rough patch in week ten and stopped tracking, having that check-in scheduled got me back on track. I would've quit otherwise."
