We Turn Financial Planning Into Something You'll Actually Enjoy

Seven years ago, we started ravionther because traditional financial advice felt stuffy and disconnected. We believed budget planning could be personal, practical, and dare we say it — even enjoyable when done right.

Our Mission

We make budget calendar planning accessible and genuinely useful for everyday Australians. No financial jargon, no complicated formulas — just practical tools that help you see your money clearly and plan with confidence. Every strategy we develop gets tested in real situations first.

What Drives Us

Financial stress affects too many people unnecessarily. We've seen clients transform their relationship with money simply by having the right planning framework. Our approach focuses on building sustainable habits rather than quick fixes, because lasting change happens gradually.

How We're Different

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Your calendar planning system should reflect how you actually live and work. Whether you're managing irregular income, planning major purchases, or just want better visibility into your spending patterns, we customize everything.

Our Journey Since 2018

What started as a simple idea has grown into a comprehensive approach to financial planning that's helped hundreds of Australian families and businesses.

2018
The Beginning
Started ravionther after realizing how many people struggled with traditional budgeting methods. Our first calendar-based planning system was literally drawn on paper — it worked so well, clients started asking for copies.

Digital Evolution
The pandemic changed everything about how people managed money. We rapidly developed our digital planning tools to help clients navigate uncertain times. Our virtual consultation model was born out of necessity but became surprisingly effective.

Community Growth
Launched our educational workshops and expanded throughout Victoria and New South Wales. What surprised us most was how eager people were to learn together — financial planning doesn't have to be a solo struggle.

Looking Forward
Today, we're focused on making our calendar planning approach even more intuitive. Our new client portal launches mid-2025, and we're developing specialized programs for small business owners and retirees.

Meet the People Behind Your Planning

We're a small team, which means you'll actually get to know us. No call centers or automated responses — when you work with ravionther, you work directly with the people who care about your financial success.

"The best financial advice comes from understanding how you actually live, not how you think you should live. That's why we spend time learning about your real habits before suggesting any changes."
