From a simple idea in 2019 to empowering thousands of Australian households with practical budgeting tools
novalitharo started when Melbourne couple Sarah Chen and Marcus Williams realized their friends constantly asked for budgeting advice. What began as informal coaching sessions over weekend coffees grew into something bigger.
First breakthrough: Creating a budgeting method that actually worked for busy families with irregular incomes
By early 2022, word-of-mouth had brought us over 2,500 active users across Australia. We'd moved from a simple spreadsheet system to a proper web platform, helping families save an average of 0 per month through better budgeting habits.
Major milestone: Partnering with three Australian credit unions to offer our budgeting workshops to their members
Six years later, novalitharo has evolved into a comprehensive household budgeting platform. We've helped over 15,000 Australian families develop sustainable money management habits, with users reporting reduced financial stress and improved savings rates.
