Understanding Money Without the Corporate Speak

Most finance courses drown you in jargon and unrealistic promises. We take a different approach—teaching practical skills that actually matter when you're sitting at your kitchen table trying to sort out your budget.

We Started Because Banks Weren't Helping

Back in 2019, Quillan Moresby noticed something frustrating. His neighbors kept asking him basic money questions that their banks should've explained years ago. Things like how offset accounts actually work, or why some debts matter more than others.

The issue wasn't intelligence—it was that most financial education either assumed you already knew everything, or tried to sell you investment products you didn't need yet.

So he started running weekend sessions in Maitland. No sales pitches. Just honest conversations about managing money in real life. Word spread fast, and by mid-2024, we'd helped over 300 families get their finances sorted without making them feel stupid for asking questions.

What We Actually Teach

Our programs run from September 2025 through March 2026, with flexible evening and weekend options

Budget Building

Not the restrictive kind that makes you miserable. We help you create spending plans that reflect how you actually live, with room for the occasional takeaway and unexpected car repairs.

Debt Strategy

Different debts need different approaches. We walk through your specific situation and create a realistic payoff plan that won't require eating noodles for three years straight.

Super Basics

Superannuation confuses nearly everyone. We explain how it works, what fees you're paying, and whether changing funds might actually benefit you. No pushy sales, just clear information.

Meet Quillan Moresby

Lead Educator

Quillan spent twelve years in banking before getting fed up with the industry's approach to customer education. He holds a Diploma in Financial Services but jokes that most of what he teaches came from sitting across the table from regular people who just needed straight answers.

These days, he runs our core programs and still does those weekend sessions in Maitland. His teaching style is straightforward—he uses real examples from his own mistakes and wins, and won't pretend there's a magic formula that works for everyone.

Outside of work, he's usually fixing up his old Holden or arguing with his teenagers about screen time budgets (which, he admits, are harder to manage than financial ones).
