We’re Just Like You
“Sort Your Budget, Sort Your Life” is so true.
We See it, We Teach it, We Live It…
Our philosophy that financial wellness extends far beyond just managing money—it’s about creating overall life satisfaction and relationship harmony.
We’d love to hear from you…
We are Andrew and Alyssa Mates, a husband-and-wife team with a background in property and finance. By understanding the power of knowing our numbers we became completely debt and mortgage-free in 2022 at the age of 39 years old and now enjoy living life in beautiful Normanville, South Australia.
Andrew left a high-stress corporate career to pursue a career in finance and became a mortgage broker with Aussie back in 2012, but during his time he quickly realised that his passion was helping people eliminate debt as a money coach, not accumulate it and promptly left the industry.
Alyssa, a property enthusiast, worked alongside Andrew whilst they developed their personal plan for property and cashflow which ended up becoming their personal finance system that provided clarity, structure, and a clear path to their personal financial freedom.
Since 2009, this system has guided our decisions personally, and since 2018 we have been teaching others our methodologies through personalised money coaching. Our role as your budget coach is to provide clarity on their current financial position, future goals, and helping them to implement steps required to achieve them — whether for household budgets, business finances, or preparing to borrow or invest.
Our approach is tailored to you, practical in nature, and focused on your self-reliance, without any third-party apps or subscriptions. We deliver an empathetic, fun, and exciting approach to managing money to ensure you receive your tailor-made budget finance plan that works for you – unique to your own circumstances and designed for your financial success.
If you’re ready to take charge of your financial future with a trusted budget coach, reach out today. This could be the most impactful step toward achieving your goals.
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 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.

The worst part about money stress isn't the debt.
It's what it's doing to your relationship.
The distance. The resentment. The way you both tiptoe around money conversations because they always end badly. The way intimacy suffers because stress is overwhelming everything else.
You're roommates managing survival – not partners building a life.
And your kids? They're learning this is normal. That money equals fighting. That love isn't enough when finances fall apart.
We help couples reclaim their partnership. We teach you to manage money together with confidence instead of fear. To communicate instead of blame. To build instead of survive.
Couples who came to us emotionally exhausted are now thriving together. Building savings. Making plans. Actually enjoying each other again.
