You're working hard, but your money doesn't feel under control

 

Sound familiar?

You get paid, pay the bills, and then wonder where the rest disappears to. There's no clear plan, and you're just hoping it all works out each fortnight or month that you can save a little, but it never ends up that there’s any left.

You feel guilty every time you spend money on something you enjoy. Is this okay? Should I have saved it instead? Can I actually afford this?

You see your partner spending all the money each pay, but you are trying to keep a handle on it all, and aren’t sure how to make them see what could be possible. To reduce the stress about all the upcoming bills, you want to have a chat with them, but don’t know where to start.

You're making decisions based on your bank balance, not based on what actually matters to you. If there's money there, you spend it. If there's not, you panic.

You avoid looking at your accounts because you're worried about what you'll find. It's easier to just... not know.

You know you should be better with money, but you don't know where to start. And most advice out there is either too basic ("just budget and create a meal plan") or too complicated (multi-coloured spreadsheets that make your head spin).

When we look at it further, you're not bad with money. You're just trying to manage it without a clear system or focus. And that can be exhausting.

You were never actually taught how to do this

Most of us left school knowing how to find the square root of something, but not how to manage our actual money in real life.

The "advice" you hear is either:

  • Too vague: "Just make a budget!" (Okay, but how? And what if I hate spreadsheets?)
  • Too judgey: "Stop buying coffee, and no more smashed avo!" (But I like coffee, and I LOVE avocado. And that's not actually the problem.)
  • Too complicated: Financial jargon that makes you feel like you need an economics degree just to understand where your money's going.

What you actually need is someone to show you:

  • Where your money is going right now (without judgment)
  • How to create a focus for your spending so you're not just winging it
  • Which costs to tackle first so you actually make progress
  • How to enjoy your money without the guilt spiral

That's what this workshop does.

Make Your Money Go Further

A 90 minute live workshop where I walk you through the exact process to understand your current spending, create a clear focus for your money, and prioritise what actually matters, in plain English, with real examples, and a no shame & no judgement policy.

What makes this different: 

Built for real Australians living real lives. Not generic advice from overseas. Not "just stop spending" lectures. This is about making intentional choices that fit your life. 

Taught by someone who's worked in finance for over 20 years. I am an accountant, money coach, and Profit First Professional. I've helped hundreds of people sort their money without the overwhelm. 

Practical, not theoretical. You'll walk away with clarity and a framework you can use immediately. No complicated systems. No spreadsheets you'll never look at again. 

Focused on what you need right now. Not everything you could ever know about money. This is setting the foundations that matter so you can stop feeling stressed and start feeling in control. 

Here's exactly what we'll cover in 90 minutes

What's included:

  • 90-minute live training session on Zoom
  • Downloadable workbook to follow along
  • Replay access for 30 days (in case you need to rewatch or miss the live session)
  • Access to ask questions at the end of the workshop

This workshop is perfect for you if...

✅ You're earning money but never quite sure where it all goes

✅ You want to understand you're spending without needing a finance degree or complicated spreadsheets

✅ You're tired of feeling guilty every time you spend money on something you enjoy

✅ You're ready to stop winging it and start making intentional choices

✅ You're an Australian dealing with Australian living costs (this isn't generic US advice)

✅ You can commit 90 minutes to sort this out properly

This probably isn't for you if...

❌ You're looking for investment advice or how to buy property (this is about everyday money management)

❌ You already have a solid handle on your spending and just want advanced strategies (this is foundations)

❌ You're not willing to look honestly at where your money is going (no judgement, but you do need to be ready for reality)

Yes, I'm Ready to Join

Hi, I'm Jodi Porteous

I've been working in finance and accounting for over 20 years, and I've spent the last 5+ years as a money coach and Profit First Professional helping Australians get their finances sorted.

I created this workshop because I kept seeing the same thing over and over: good, smart people who were earning decent money but had no idea where it was going. They felt stressed, guilty, and overwhelmed – not because they were bad with money, but because no one had ever actually taught them how to manage it in a practical, real-life way. 

I don't talk like an accountant. I explain things the way I'd explain them to a mate over coffee – jargon free straight talk about what works and what doesn't. 

 My approach is simple: you don't need to be perfect with money, you just need to be intentional. And that's exactly what I'll teach you in this workshop. 

I run multiple businesses & programs to educate people about their finances: 

  • Northwest Accountancy – tax preparation for Australian wage earners 
  • Profit First Accounting – Specialist cashflow accountants for Australian Businesses who will look after your books and your money, to assist you to make the best business decisions 
  • Intentional Money Management – money coaching for individuals and couples 
  • Where Did My Money Go? – financial education and expense tracking 
  • Unexpected Bookkeeper – a bookkeeping program and money management system for the ones trying to juggle business, finances, and everything else. 

I live in Perth, I'm obsessed with helping people make sense of their money, and I genuinely believe this stuff should be taught in schools (but since it's not, I'm teaching it here). 

Here's What Past Participants Say

"We had a lot of surprise moments where we couldn't believe how much money we were wasting on 'stuff' and were especially horrified at our very large grocery and takeaway spending."

Claire S., Bookkeeper

"I finally understood where my money was going. It wasn't scary – it was actually a relief to see it clearly."

Workshop participant

"Jodi explained everything in a way that actually made sense. No confusing jargon, just real talk about real life."

Workshop participant

"They should teach this at schools."

Kylie, Manager

"I've been putting this off for years. I wish I'd done it sooner."

Still On the Fence? I Get It.

This is 90 minutes to sort it out properly so you don't have to keep carrying that stress around. 

You've got nothing to lose and a whole lot of clarity to gain.
