We started orivantexalo because budgeting advice was either too complicated or didn't fit real Australian life. Our approach is different — practical tools for everyday people.
orivantexalo began in 2019 when we realized most budgeting advice didn't work for regular families. Here's how we built something better.
After watching friends struggle with complicated budgeting apps that required PhD-level spreadsheet skills, we knew there had to be a simpler way. Most tools were either too basic or overwhelmingly complex.
We spent two years working directly with Melbourne families, learning what actually helps people stick to budgets. Turns out, it's not about perfect categories — it's about understanding your spending patterns.
After helping hundreds of families in person, we built our online platform. Same personal approach, but now accessible to anyone across Australia who wants straightforward budgeting help.
Today we're helping thousands of Australians take control of their finances without the stress. Our methods work because they're built around real life, not perfect spreadsheets.
These aren't just corporate values on a wall. They guide every decision we make and every tool we build.
If you need a manual to use our budgeting tools, we've failed. Everything should make sense immediately, even if you hate dealing with money.
Perfect budgets don't exist. We design for messy reality — unexpected bills, impulse purchases, and those weeks when cooking dinner feels impossible.
Everyone's financial situation is different. We don't lecture about coffee spending or assume everyone can just "cut back." We work with what you've got.
Big financial changes happen through tiny improvements. We celebrate every step forward, whether it's saving five dollars or paying off debt early.
We're a small team who actually uses our own budgeting methods. No fancy financial backgrounds — just people who figured out what works.
