ANDREW MATES is the co-founder and lead money coach at Your Budget Mates alongside his wife Alyssa. He's spent a decade proving that successful financial coaching 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 provides hands-on budget coaching and builds financial 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 dedicated support of an experienced finance coach to help you manage your own money with confidence.
He's witnessed hundreds of clients break free from debt, buy their first homes, and stop living paycheck to paycheck. Based in Normanville, South Australia, Andrew provides money coaching Australia-wide for 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 budget coach 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."
