What people are saying
Read about the experiences our community have had with our processes and tools.
Amanda is an empathetic, pragmatic and insightful coach. She met me where I was and confidently supported me to articulate the financial future I want and helped me craft a manageable (and energising) plan to reach it. She is incredibly easy to talk to and rapidly created an environment where I felt able to share and reflect openly. Her compassionate approach, coupled with her rare skill of gently challenging my thinking to open up new possibilities, enabled me to gain the clarity I need to move forwards towards my desired future. I look forward to continuing to work with Amanda and recommend her unreservedly as a skilled and supportive coach.

When my parents asked for my help to prepare their Will, I turned to the Financial Snapshot. They’re both in their 70s and English is their second language. I’m surprised at how simple, stress-free and helpful it was in building a complete picture. They were able to take their Financial Snapshot to the lawyers with a summary of their wishes and communicate it all in a one hour meeting, no additional investigation required. I highly recommend this process to save you stress, time and money.

“This has been a wonderful tool to use together with my wife, I'm fairly Excel illiterate and the fact that Amanda has set this up as 'ready to go' really helped my self esteem levels. At first we used to do the accounts together. Three years later and I'm in charge of the accounts! We love the fact that we can name categories to suit our lifestyle (we even have a item called 'Idiocy' for when we make the type of mistakes that cost us money, which makes us double check things a lot more!). We definitely manage our money better having the Tidy Money Tool in our lives. Thank you Amanda.”

“The Tidy Money Tool is fantastic. It is easy to use and gives you incredible insights on your spending (sometimes eye-opening!).
It is easy to see where your money is going and where you can find room for savings. Definitely essential when you are trying to stick to a budget or if you want to see if your next big ticket item is even feasible at a certain point in time.”
— Nicole
“Tidy My Money is a great workshop for anyone wanting to take control and be held accountable for their finances. In a non-intimidating environment – Amanda takes you through a step-by-step no nonsense approach to managing your home money. Do yourself a favor!”
— Rachael
Before the workshop I always considered myself allergic to any form of home budgeting – The workshop really gave me the confidence that I can actively track my home budget and expenses without over complicating the process and gain valuable information from it. Thank you! I can finally base my financial decisions on real actual tracking.

“It’s a great workshop! I went through a divorce and was at a loss at where my finance were, at being a housewife. I went into tremendous emotional turmoil. Women must be aware of the finances!”
— Jesinder
“Very warm and helpful. Amanda is very engaging and I will genuinely use the tool. I also like the 31 day wallet for receipts keeping – receipts have been a problem for me!”

“I started using the Tidy My Money tool in 2017 and have never looked back.
Managing my own company, investment properties, household finances and the lives of two busy boys, its clear to say that that we have a lot of expenses to manage, and my wallet is often bulging with receipts! Now the tool really allows me, month on month to review all these expenses and evaluate how we can save money, cut costs and how comfortable we are with our bank balances at the end of each month. This is turn allows us as a family to think about future investments and planning for future costs.
At first, I was worried that the monthly logging would add to my never ending to-do list. However after a few months, I am amazed at how easy it is to do. On average I devote 2 hours per month to this process and its time well spent.
Knowledge of where money is being spent and what money is coming in really allows me to make better, more informed decisions on future spending and saving strategies.
Without a shadow of doubt I would highly recommend the Tidy My Money Tool. I would be lost without it!”
