We Help Families Take Control
Real people building practical tools for everyday budgeting
Started in a kitchen in 2019, talirynthos grew from personal frustration with confusing finance apps into something thousands of Australian families now use to manage their money without stress.
How We Got Here
From sketches on napkins to helping families across the country—our path has been anything but straight.
The Kitchen Table Beginning
Three friends dealing with their own budget chaos decided to build something better. We wanted tracking that actually made sense—no finance degree required.
First Hundred Families
Word spread through school groups and local networks. Parents told other parents. We learned more from their feedback than any textbook could teach us.
Regional Expansion
Opened our Dubbo office to better serve families outside major cities. Rural communities face unique financial challenges, and being there matters.
Growing With Purpose
Now supporting over 3,000 families with budgeting tools that adapt to real life—unexpected expenses, changing incomes, and actual human behavior.
What's Next
Planning workshops throughout regional Australia. Also testing new features for tracking irregular income—based on feedback from gig workers and seasonal employees.
What Drives Us
These aren't corporate values from a boardroom. They're principles we actually argue about and use when making decisions.
No Jargon Allowed
Financial advice shouldn't need translation. We write like we're explaining things to our own families—clear, honest, and actually helpful.
Built for Imperfect Budgets
Life is messy. Kids need new shoes. Cars break down. Our tools work with reality, not some perfect-world scenario that never happens.
Privacy Without Compromise
Your financial data stays yours. We don't sell it, share it, or use it for anything beyond helping you manage your budget better.
Real People Support
When you contact us, you get humans who understand budgeting struggles—not scripts or chatbots reading from flowcharts.
Accessible Pricing
Good budget tools shouldn't cost a fortune. We keep prices low because the people who need help most can't afford expensive subscriptions.
Constant Learning
We test everything with actual families first. If something confuses people in testing, it doesn't ship—no matter how clever we think it is.
Freya Lindqvist
Community Education Lead
Freya joined us in 2022 after working in community services for eight years. She'd seen too many families stressed about money—not because they spent recklessly, but because tracking everything felt overwhelming.
Now she runs our workshops across regional New South Wales, teaching practical budgeting methods that actually stick. Her sessions focus on building habits that work long-term, not quick fixes that fall apart after two weeks.
She's particularly passionate about helping families transition through major changes—new babies, job shifts, or moving to a new area. Those moments when everything feels uncertain and money stress piles on top of everything else.
Our Approach to Family Budgeting
Start Where You Are
We don't lecture about what you should've done differently. Everyone's situation is unique, and shame doesn't help anyone build better money habits.
Track What Matters
You don't need to account for every coffee. Focus on the big patterns—where money actually goes each month, what expenses are flexible, and what's locked in.
Build Sustainable Systems
Budgeting that requires perfect discipline fails fast. We help you create systems that work even when you're tired, busy, or dealing with unexpected chaos.
