Real People, Real Results in Financial Education

We started teliooseon because too many Australian businesses were struggling with budgeting basics. What began as helping a few local companies has grown into comprehensive operational budgeting education that actually works.

How We Got Here

Back in 2018, I was working with small businesses around Toowoomba and kept seeing the same problem. Smart business owners who knew their industry inside out were making costly mistakes with their budgets.

One client - a successful cafe owner - was profitable on paper but constantly cash-strapped. Another manufacturing business had grown 300% but couldn't figure out why their margins were shrinking. The issue wasn't lack of business knowledge. It was operational budgeting.

Traditional finance courses were either too academic or focused on big corporate structures. Small and medium Australian businesses needed something different - practical, hands-on budgeting education that connected directly to their daily operations.

That's when teliooseon was born. We focus exclusively on operational budgeting because that's where real business success happens - in the day-to-day financial decisions that either build or break your company.

What Drives Us

Every business deserves financial clarity and control. We've seen too many great Australian companies struggle not because their products or services weren't good enough, but because operational budgeting wasn't given the attention it deserved. Our programs are designed to change that - one business at a time.
