Financial Decision-Making That Actually Makes Sense
Most people make money decisions based on gut feeling, random advice from someone's cousin, or whatever sounds good at the time. We teach a different approach—one grounded in actual frameworks and real-world scenarios.
This isn't about watching a few webinars and calling yourself an expert. Our program runs from September 2025 through March 2026, giving you time to absorb concepts, practice with case studies, and ask questions when things don't click.
How We Structure the Learning Experience
We've built this program around four main pillars that connect to each other. You can't really understand investment risk without grasping opportunity cost first. And budgeting frameworks only make sense when you see how they affect long-term planning.
Each module includes written materials, recorded analysis walkthroughs, and discussion forums where previous cohorts have raised surprisingly good questions. Some of those forum threads are honestly better than the original material.
Core Concepts First
We start with foundational ideas—time value of money, risk assessment basics, and how cognitive biases mess with financial choices. No spreadsheets yet, just concepts.
Applied Case Work
Then we move into real scenarios pulled from Australian contexts—property decisions, superannuation strategies, business cash flow challenges. You work through these with guidance.
Workshop Refinement
During live workshops, we tackle the messier questions that come up when theory meets reality. These sessions run fortnightly and honestly, they're where most breakthroughs happen.
People Behind the Program

Next Cohort Starts September 2025
We're taking enrolments through July for the autumn intake. Class size stays capped at 35 participants to keep workshop discussions manageable. If you're considering it, worth having a conversation now rather than scrambling in August.
