Building Financial Confidence Across Australia

We started riwoceroybu because too many people felt overwhelmed by money decisions. Six years later, we're still here helping Australians turn financial anxiety into genuine understanding.

Our Beginning

Back in 2019, I kept meeting people who earned good salaries but still stressed about money every month. Smart people who could manage complex work projects but felt lost when choosing between savings accounts or figuring out if they could afford a house.

The problem wasn't intelligence — it was that nobody had ever taught them how money actually works. Schools didn't cover it, parents often avoided the topic, and most financial advice felt either too complicated or too basic.

So we built something different. Not another investment platform or budgeting app, but genuine education that helps people understand their choices without the jargon or pressure.

What Guides Our Work

Real-World Focus

We skip the theoretical stuff and focus on decisions you'll actually face — like whether to pay off debt faster or save for emergencies first. Every lesson connects to something practical you can use.

No Judgment Zone

Whether you're 25 or 55, earning minimum wage or six figures, everyone starts somewhere with money. We create space for questions without making anyone feel behind or inadequate.

Individual Paths

Your neighbour's financial plan won't work for you. We help you understand the principles, then figure out how they apply to your actual situation and goals.

Long-Term Thinking

Quick fixes don't work with money. We focus on building understanding and habits that serve you for decades, not just solving this month's budget crisis.
