Building Financial Futures
Eight months of hands-on learning starting September 2025. We've spent years working with families and businesses across NSW who struggled with the same budgeting challenges. This program shares what actually works when planning years ahead instead of months.
Most budgeting courses focus on tracking daily expenses. That's useful, but it doesn't help when you're trying to plan a house deposit, business expansion, or five-year family goals. We focus on the longer view because that's where real financial stability comes from.
Understanding your current patterns before planning ahead. We look at income cycles, irregular expenses, and the gaps most people miss when they're only thinking month-to-month.
Creating flexible frameworks that adapt to life changes. You'll work on real scenarios like career transitions, housing decisions, and family planning with actual numbers and timelines.
Testing your budget against real situations. This is where theory meets practice, and you'll adjust your plans based on what happens rather than what you hoped would happen.
Both instructors have spent over a decade helping Australian families and small businesses build budgets that actually hold up over time. They've seen what breaks down and what keeps working.
Lead Instructor - Strategic Planning
Sienna worked in regional banking for thirteen years before switching to education. She noticed most budget advice assumed steady income and simple goals. Her approach accounts for irregular pay, changing circumstances, and multiple competing priorities.
Instructor - Applied Frameworks
After running her own bookkeeping practice for eight years, Briony saw patterns in which clients succeeded with long-term planning and which struggled. She focuses on systems that work when life doesn't go according to plan.
Classes run Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 PM AEST. Each session combines instruction with practical exercises using your own financial situations. You'll leave each class with specific tasks to complete before the next meeting.
The program includes access to our online workspace where you can work through examples, ask questions between sessions, and review recorded content if you miss a class.
September - October 2025
Understanding where your money actually goes over time. We track patterns across different timeframes and identify the gaps that short-term budgets miss completely.
November 2025 - January 2026
Creating flexible plans that account for income variations, irregular expenses, and competing goals. This phase involves lots of scenario planning with real numbers.
February - April 2026
Implementing your budget while life continues happening. You'll adjust plans based on actual results, unexpected changes, and the realities that emerge during execution.
