Our team combines decades of real-world experience with a genuine passion for helping Australian families build stronger financial foundations. These aren't just consultants – they're your neighbors who understand the unique challenges of managing money in today's economy.
After watching her own parents struggle with debt during the 2008 crisis, Rhea spent fifteen years working with Commonwealth Bank before joining our team in early 2024. She specializes in helping families break the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle through practical budgeting strategies that actually work in real life – not just on spreadsheets.
Marcus brings a unique perspective as both a certified financial planner and father of three teenagers. His approach focuses on teaching entire families – including kids – how to make smart money decisions together. He's particularly skilled at helping families navigate the costs of education, healthcare, and those unexpected expenses that always seem to pop up.
We don't deal in theoretical scenarios. Every strategy we recommend has been tested by real families facing real challenges – from single parents to growing households.
Money mistakes happen to everyone. Our team creates a safe space where you can be honest about your financial situation without fear of criticism or pressure.
Quick fixes rarely work in personal finance. We focus on building habits and systems that will serve your family well for decades, not just next month.
maroventrix didn't start as a grand business plan. It began with a simple observation: most financial advice assumes you have money to invest, but what about families just trying to make ends meet? Here's how we evolved into Tasmania's most trusted family budgeting resource.
It started with neighbors asking for help over coffee. Rhea and Marcus found themselves explaining budgeting basics to friends who felt overwhelmed by traditional financial advice. These informal chats revealed a huge gap in accessible, practical money guidance for everyday families.
After helping dozens of families through word-of-mouth referrals, we realized we needed a more systematic approach. We spent months developing our signature budgeting methodology – one that accounts for irregular income, unexpected expenses, and the emotional side of money management.
The demand for our services grew beyond what we could handle through individual consultations. We launched our online platform to reach more Tasmanian families, while maintaining the personal touch that makes our approach different from generic budgeting apps.
Today, we're proud to serve families across Australia while staying true to our roots. Our team has grown, but our mission remains the same: making financial stability achievable for every family, regardless of their starting point or income level.
