We're here because money stuff shouldn't be confusing
Started in 2019 when three financial educators got tired of watching people struggle with basic money decisions. Not because folks weren't smart enough. Just because nobody ever sat down and explained things properly.
So we built screnavolex around a simple idea. If you understand how your money actually works, you can make choices that fit your life. Not some textbook version of what financial success should look like.
What actually drives us
These aren't corporate wall decorations. They're how we decide what programs to build and what approaches don't make the cut.
Real education first
We skip the jargon and complicated formulas. If you can't explain why something matters in normal conversation, it probably doesn't belong in our programs.
Your situation matters
Generic advice doesn't cut it. What works for someone earning six figures won't help if you're juggling part-time work and study. We build content for where you actually are.
No hidden agendas
We don't sell financial products. Never have. Our recommendations come from what genuinely helps people understand their options, not what earns commissions.
How we got here
Back in 2019, we were running free workshops at community centers around Launceston. Small groups, folding chairs, whiteboards covered in budget examples. People would show up with real questions about mortgages or super contributions, and we'd work through the numbers together.
Those sessions taught us something important. When you strip away the financial industry complexity and talk about money in plain terms, people get it. They don't need fancy software or expensive advisors for basic financial literacy. They just need someone to explain things without the rubbish.
By 2021, demand outgrew the community center rooms. We started building structured programs that people could work through at their own pace. Same straightforward approach, just organized better. And honestly, same messy reality of personal finance that doesn't fit neatly into spreadsheet categories.
"The moment it clicked for me was realizing financial education isn't about perfect systems. It's about giving people enough understanding to make decent choices with whatever situation they're dealing with."
