ANDREW MATES is co-founder of Your Budget Mates alongside his wife Alyssa. He's 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. Based in Normanville, South Australia, 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."
