How We Got Here
Started in early 2023 when three of us noticed the same pattern—businesses were getting budget advice based on outdated comparisons or data from completely different markets. A café in Hobart was being measured against Melbourne metrics. Made no sense.
So we built something more useful. Collected actual spending data from Tasmanian businesses willing to share anonymized figures. Added mainland comparisons where relevant. The result? Business owners could finally see if their utilities bill was genuinely high or just felt that way.
We're not financial advisors in the traditional sense. Think of us more as your budget reality check—showing you where you stand compared to similar operations, without the usual consulting fluff.
