Personalised Finance Coaching to Sort Your Budget for Good!

What is a Budget Money Coach?

If you’ve been searching for a budget coach, money coach, or financial coach, you’re probably looking for someone who can help you finally take control of your money.

A finance coach doesn’t tell you what you can and can’t spend.

They work alongside you to understand where your money is going, create a realistic plan around your goals, and help you build habits that actually last.

Unlike a financial adviser, who focuses on investments or superannuation, or a mortgage broker who helps you secure finance, a finance coach helps you master the everyday decisions that have the biggest impact on your financial future.

Whether your goal is paying off debt, buying your first home, building savings or simply feeling more confident with money, the right coaching can make all the difference.

At Your Budget Mates, we believe budgeting shouldn’t feel restrictive.

It should give you freedom, confidence and control over your financial future.

Our coaching is practical, personalised and designed around real life… not spreadsheets that get forgotten after a week.

Meet Your Budget Mates

Andrew & Alyssa Mates

A husband and wife team with a background in property and finance, living life in beautiful Normanville on the South Australian coast.

Andrew Mates - Finance Coach & Business Mentor at Your Budget Mates

Andrew Mates

Finance Coach | Business Mentor

Andrew has spent a decade proving that financial transformation isn’t about earning more – it’s about knowing your numbers and making them work.

Equipped with a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking (but not a broker), Andrew builds budget plans that actually fit real life. No spreadsheets that gather dust. No advice that sounds good but doesn’t land. Just clarity, structure, and the skills to manage your own money with confidence.

He’s witnessed hundreds of Australians break free from debt, buy their first homes, and stop living paycheck to paycheck – not through magic formulas, but through honest conversations and plans they could actually stick to. Andrew works with individuals and couples who are ready to stop playing the same old record and start building the financial future they deserve.

When he’s not in client sessions or building strategies, you’ll find him walking the beach or on a road trip with Alyssa – living proof that financial freedom buys you time, not just money.

“The numbers don’t lie. And once you stop being afraid of them, they stop having power over you.”

Alyssa Mates - Finance Coach & Business Mentor at Your Budget Mates

Alyssa Mates

Finance Coach | Business Mentor

Alyssa is one of the only finance coaches in Australia combining practical money management with mindset, grounding practices and woo – unashamedly and proudly.

Debt and mortgage-free by 38, Alyssa brings nearly a decade of coaching experience to her work with individuals and couples. But what sets her apart is what she pays attention to beneath the numbers – the patterns driving the spending, the beliefs running quietly in the background, the nervous system that flinches when the banking app opens.

She draws on astrology, biofield tuning and mindset work alongside solid financial coaching, because she has seen repeatedly that people don’t fail at budgeting because they lack discipline. They fail because nobody has helped them look at what is actually driving the behaviour.

Alyssa works with warmth, directness and genuine intuition – reading between the lines, asking the question that opens the door. Alyssa lives what she teaches: bare feet on the grass, tuning forks in the toolkit, walking the beach near her home.

“The answers are within you – if only you would take the time to listen”

What Does Your Budget Mates Do?

Who is a Budget Money Coach for?

Many people think they need to be struggling financially before they speak to a budget or finance coach.

The reality is quite the opposite.

Most of our clients earn good incomes. They’re professionals, business owners, couples and families who are working hard but still wondering where their money disappears each month.

Our couples budget coaching helps partners get on the same page with their finances, reduce money stress and work together towards shared goals.

Our family budget coach programs help busy households create structure, manage rising living costs and plan confidently for the future.

See our budgeting success casestudies where clients have achieved financial freedom OR secured their first home deposit OR paid off their mortgage.

If you’ve tried budgeting before but couldn’t stick to it, or you’re earning more than ever yet still don’t feel ahead financially, our budget coaching Australia service is designed for you.

You don’t need to earn more… You simply need a better plan.

How does Budget Coaching Work?

Working with Your Budget Mates is simple, convenient and completely online.

As an online budget coach, we work with clients across Australia using Zoom, making it easy to receive professional coaching no matter where you live.

Our process begins with understanding your current financial position. Together we’ll review your income, expenses, debts and goals before creating a personalised action plan.

From there, you’ll attend regular accountability meetings where we review your progress, celebrate your wins and adjust your plan as life changes.

Having a budget coach online Australia means you always have someone in your corner keeping you focused, motivated and moving forward.

The goal isn’t just to build a budget.

The goal is to build lifelong confidence with money.

Traditional budget services are keeping you poor.

Not helping you. Keeping you poor.

Their business model requires your dependency. If you learned to manage money yourself, you'd leave. So they never teach you. They just control your money and charge you monthly for the privilege.

Years pass. Nothing changes. Because nothing was supposed to change.

We've seen it play out over and over. Clients who spent YEARS with these providers. Paid thousands. Still drowning in debt with zero financial skills.

Then they work with us.

🎓 We teach them.
⚡ Empower them.
🎛️ Give them control.

Years later? Transformed. Debt free. Confident. Thriving.

Most budgeting servi

Most budgeting services create dependency.

We create independence.

Traditional budgeting providers 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 – paying bills, managing accounts, giving you allowances like pocket money.

The problem?

You never actually learn ℎ𝑜𝑤 to manage it yourself.

And when you stop paying them, you’re straight back where you started.

We’ve seen people spend years with these services – investing 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑠 – only to stay stuck in the same debt cycle. Still stressed. Still unsure. Still without financial confidence.

Our approach is different.

We don’t manage your money for you.

We teach you to take control – with expert guidance, strategic planning, and ongoing accountability.

Our clients achieve real results:

🏡 Couples moving from loan rejection to home ownership with zero consumer debt.
💰 Families eliminating six figures of debt while building real savings.
✅ Individuals becoming completely debt-free while protecting their assets.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲:

📚 Financial education and skill-building – not dependency
🎯 Strategic budget planning aligned with your goals
🤝 Coordination with your broader team (broker, accountant, planner)
📅 Monthly accountability + unlimited support
🌱 Sustainable systems that build lasting financial confidence

Financial stress doesn’t just hit your bank account – it impacts your relationships, your family, and your future.

Professional guidance shouldn’t mean giving up control.

It should mean gaining the skills to thrive with confidence and independence.
