Meet Jackie
Hi, I’m Jackie Matjasec, founder of The Simple Budget.
I’m a financial literacy educator, author and workshop facilitator based in Logan, Queensland. I help everyday Australians make sense of their money in a simple, practical and judgement-free way.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to start, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we can build a budget that fits your real life.
Logan-based personal budgeting support
The Simple Budget is based in Logan, Queensland and offers personal budgeting support online across Australia.
In-person sessions may be available in the Logan area, depending on availability.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by money, trying to get back on track or wanting a simple budget that fits real life, Jackie can help you take the next step.
