Stop Wrestling With Spreadsheets
Your budget shouldn't need a degree in accounting. We've built something that actually makes sense—automation that works the way you think, not the way software engineers think.

Before and After Automation
Callum's Breaking Point
Three years running a cafe in Fitzroy. Every month, same story—spending Sunday nights manually categorizing expenses. Missing tax deductions because receipts lived in his glovebox. After switching to automated tracking in September 2024, he found an extra $4,200 in overlooked deductions. Not magic. Just proper categorization happening in real time.
The Overwhelm Phase
Most people hit this around month three of trying to "stay on top of it." You start strong, tracking every coffee. Then life happens. A busy week becomes a busy month. Suddenly you're three months behind and guessing at quarterly reports. Sound familiar? We designed our system for the messy middle, not just the motivated beginning.
Finlay's Eureka Moment
He'd been using budget templates for his consulting work since 2021. Thought he had it figured out. Then he saw where his money actually went versus where he thought it went. The gap was shocking—about 30% of his income disappeared into "miscellaneous." Once everything connected automatically, patterns emerged. Turns out software subscriptions were eating twice what he estimated.
What Changed
It wasn't motivation or discipline. People don't fail at budgets because they're lazy. They fail because manual systems demand perfection in an imperfect world. Automation removes friction. Your bank talks to your budget. Your budget talks to your tax prep. Everything connects while you focus on actual work.
We Teach the Why, Not Just the How
Anyone can show you buttons to click. Our twelve-week program starting October 2025 walks you through the thinking behind smart automation. You'll understand why certain expenses get categorized differently for tax purposes. Why timing matters for cash flow. Why your industry might need custom rules.
Classes run Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Melbourne time. Small groups—never more than fifteen people. Questions encouraged. By week eight, most participants have their entire financial system running on autopilot. Week twelve is about optimization and catching edge cases.
This isn't about becoming an accountant. It's about building a system that grows with your business so you can stop thinking about administrative tasks and start focusing on what you actually do.

What Students Actually Say
Angus Thorburn
Landscape Design Business
I wasted two years trying to figure this out alone. Watched YouTube videos. Read blogs. Still couldn't get everything talking to each other properly. The program helped me connect the dots in ways I didn't know were possible. My accountant actually commented on how organized my records became.
Declan Whitmore
Digital Marketing Agency
The remote learning tips made a huge difference. I'm in regional NSW, so Tuesday evening classes worked perfectly. Recorded sessions meant I could catch up when client calls ran late. What surprised me most was how practical everything was—no theory for theory's sake.
