We started telasorari because too many Australians were struggling with money stress despite earning decent incomes. The problem wasn't lack of funds—it was lack of sustainable systems for managing them.
Back in 2018, I was working as a financial advisor when I noticed something troubling. Clients would nod along during our meetings, take detailed notes, then return months later with the same problems. Traditional financial advice wasn't sticking.
The breakthrough came when I started focusing on small, daily habits instead of grand financial plans. A client struggling with overspending began tracking every purchase for just one week. That simple awareness exercise changed everything for her.
"We realized that sustainable financial health comes from changing how people think about money on a Tuesday afternoon, not just during annual budget reviews."
That insight became the foundation for telasorari. We've now helped over 3,200 Australians develop money habits that actually work in their real lives—not just on spreadsheets.
Most financial education focuses on what you should do. We focus on how to make yourself actually do it. These three principles guide everything we create.
We begin with changes so tiny they feel almost silly. Saving fifty cents daily beats planning to save 0 monthly and failing. Small wins build the confidence needed for bigger changes.
New habits stick when they attach to existing ones. We help you link financial behaviors to things you already do automatically, like checking your phone or making coffee.
Tracking everything is overwhelming. We help you identify the two or three metrics that actually predict financial progress, then make monitoring them effortless.
We're a small group of educators, behavioural specialists, and former financial advisors who believe sustainable change happens through understanding, not willpower.
Financial Education Director
Former financial planner who got tired of giving advice that didn't work. Now designs programs based on behavioral psychology research and real client outcomes.
Program Development Specialist
Creates the systems and tools that make habit change feel natural. His background in educational design helps people learn without feeling overwhelmed by information.
These aren't marketing slogans—they're the principles that shape how we design programs and measure success.
A budget that works 70% of the time beats a perfect plan that you abandon after two weeks. We celebrate consistent imperfection over sporadic excellence because that's what actually creates lasting change.
Financial advice that ignores your actual life situation is useless. We account for shift work, caring responsibilities, irregular income, and the hundred other variables that affect how money really works in your world.
We test our approaches with real participants and adjust based on what actually works, not what sounds good in theory. If a technique doesn't improve outcomes after six months, we drop it.
Quick fixes don't exist in financial health. We're here for the ongoing support, the setbacks, and the gradual progress that comes from building sustainable systems rather than chasing dramatic transformations.
