We are your..
Whether you’re looking to reduce debt, improve your cash flow, save for your first home or simply feel more confident managing your money, Your Budget Mates provides personalised finance coaching to help Australians achieve lasting financial success.
Unlike traditional budget management services, we don’t take control of your money… we teach you how to confidently manage it yourself.
Searching for a finance coach, money coach, budget coach usually means you’re looking for answers – not just advice.
You may be wondering why you’re earning a good income but never seem to get ahead, why saving feels impossible, or why money has become a source of stress in your life or relationship.
A finance coach helps bridge the gap between knowing what you should do and actually doing it.
Unlike a financial adviser, who focuses on investments and wealth creation, or an accountant who manages tax and compliance, a finance coach works alongside you to improve your everyday financial habits.
Through personalised financial coaching, you’ll learn how to:
Finance coaching isn’t about restricting your lifestyle.
It’s about helping you make smarter financial decisions so you can enjoy today while building a stronger tomorrow.
Whether you’re preparing to buy your first home, wanting to pay off debt, build your savings or simply feel more confident with money, Your Budget Mates finance coaching provides practical guidance, education and accountability every step of the way.
Coaching that is personalised and designed around real life… not spreadsheets that get forgotten after a week.
At Your Budget Mates, we believe everyone deserves to feel confident about their finances.
As trusted finance coaches, Andrew and Alyssa have spent years helping Australians gain control of their finances through personalised coaching, practical education and ongoing accountability.
They’ve supported hundreds of individuals, couples and families to reduce debt, improve cash flow, build savings and achieve financial goals they once thought were out of reach.
What makes their approach different is that every coaching program is tailored to the individual.
No generic templates.
No judgement.
No unrealistic budgeting rules.
Just practical financial coaching designed around your goals, lifestyle and future.
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 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”
At Your Budget Mates, we provide personalised financial coaching that helps Australians take control of their money and build lasting financial confidence.
Whether you’re looking to reduce debt, improve your cash flow, save for a home or simply feel more in control of your finances, we’ll create a tailored plan that works for your goals, lifestyle and income.
No two financial situations are the same, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we work with you to build a plan that suits your income, goals and lifestyle.
When you work with us, you’ll get a completely personalised experience:
Our role as your finance coach is to give you the knowledge, tools and accountability to confidently manage your own money yourself. We’ll help you navigate money basics, financial jargon that feels overwhelming, and explore triggers and mindsets that are driving your financial habits.
We’re here to help you build lifelong financial habits, reduce money stress and create real, lasting change. Because true financial success comes from understanding your finances – not handing them over to someone else.
Many people think they need to be struggling financially before they speak to a finance coach.
The reality is quite the opposite.

Every month.
Same pattern.
Same stress.
Same outcome.
Week three would arrive, and a couple would find themselves out of money despite earning good income. The credit card would come to the rescue. The monthly pay would arrive and clear the card. Then they'd be short again.
It's a cycle we see often, and it's absolutely exhausting for the people trapped in it.
When they came to us, they knew something had to change. They just didn't know what.
We showed them.
By restructuring how money flowed through their accounts, we created weekly consistency that their misaligned pay cycles couldn't disrupt. Fortnightly and monthly income kept arriving at different times, but their spending became predictable and manageable every single week.
The pantry stayed full. The cars had fuel. Savings grew. The credit card disappeared.
Most importantly? The anxiety vanished.
Within months, they stopped checking their bank balance with fear and started checking it with satisfaction. By the end of 12 months, they had the confidence and tools to manage everything themselves.
This transformation is what fuels us. This is why we love what we do.
We're not here to create lifelong clients. We're here to create confident, capable people who never need us again.
That's what makes our work so powerful. That's what brings us joy.

Jo and Ryan were stuck in an exhausting cycle. One paid fortnightly, the other monthly. Every month at week 3, they'd run out of money and rely on their credit card. When the monthly pay came in, they'd pay it off in full, only to be short again. Round and round it went.
Ryan checked their bank account multiple times daily, heart racing, wondering if the next payment would bounce.
When we presented our fees, they thought: "How can we afford this?"
Then the game-changer: "How can we NOT afford to do this?"
That question changed everything. 🌟
𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫:
• Credit card paid off and closed (2 weeks ahead of schedule!)
• $17,000 in savings across multiple accounts
• 2 new cars, properly structured without damaging their budget
• Consistent weekly spending that actually works
• Full pantry, full petrol tanks, zero stress
• No more anxiety checking the bank balance
• No more 3-week stress cycle
But you know what we're most proud of?
Jo and Ryan now have the 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. They don't need to keep paying us fees forever, and that's exactly how it should be.
Thank you Jo and Ryan for trusting us with your journey. We're so excited for those international trips and camping adventures ahead! 🏕️✈️

We worked with a couple recently who were stuck in an exhausting financial pattern. Good income. Responsible people. But every three weeks, without fail, they'd hit a wall.
Money gone.
Credit card deployed.
Stress levels maxed.
They'd pay the card off in full each month, then find themselves short again. Round and round. Month after month.
The problem wasn't willpower. It wasn't discipline. It was the system.
Misaligned pay cycles (fortnightly and monthly) created chaos. Reactive spending replaced intentional planning. Anxiety replaced peace.
We built them a new system. One where weekly spending was consistent and guilt-free, regardless of when income arrived. One where savings happened seamlessly. One where buffers protected them from life's surprises.
The change was profound.
No more week-three stress.
No more daily bank balance anxiety.
No more credit card reliance.
Instead?
Clarity. Confidence. Control. (And $17,000 in savings by the end of their journey with us).
We love serving couples like this. Watching someone go from stressed to thriving in 12 months through focused action and genuine care never loses its magic.
Financial literacy is achievable when you have the right tools, structure, and guidance.
