Financial Education That Actually Makes Sense
We started qorinavelos back in 2019 because too many businesses were getting blindsided by risks they never saw coming. Not the dramatic, headline-making risks—but the quiet ones that chip away at budgets month after month.
Our courses teach people how to spot budget risks before they become actual problems. And yeah, we've seen what happens when companies ignore the warning signs. It's rarely pretty.
Based in Sydney's business district, we work with professionals across Australia who want practical skills—not theory that sounds impressive but doesn't help when you're staring at a budget spreadsheet at 11pm.
What We're Actually Doing
Teaching financial risk management without the jargon overload. Our programs focus on real scenarios—the kind where someone miscalculates quarterly expenses or forgets to account for currency fluctuations. We break down budget planning into steps that make sense when you're under pressure.
How We Approach It
Honest education means admitting when financial decisions get messy. We don't pretend every risk is predictable or that our methods work in every situation. Instead, we share what tends to work based on patterns we've observed, and we're upfront about the limitations.
How We Got Here
Six years of figuring out what actually helps people manage financial risk versus what just sounds good in a course description.
Started Small
Launched with weekend workshops in a borrowed conference room. Ten participants, one whiteboard, lots of real budget scenarios from companies that had recently dealt with unexpected costs. The feedback was blunt but useful.
Moved Online
When everyone went remote, we rebuilt our entire curriculum for virtual learning. Turns out, teaching budget risk management over video calls requires completely different examples. We learned that the hard way through several awkward sessions.
Expanded Program Range
Added specialized tracks for different industries after realizing retail budget risks look nothing like tech startup budget risks. This meant rewriting about 60% of our material, but the courses became way more relevant.
Where We Are Now
Currently running programs across Australia with a mix of online and in-person sessions. We're constantly updating course content based on new financial patterns and—let's be honest—the mistakes people keep making despite our warnings.
Who's Teaching This Stuff
Bronte Kellerman
Spent twelve years watching businesses make the same budget mistakes over and over before deciding to do something about it. Previously worked in corporate finance where she got really tired of seeing preventable financial problems.
Now develops our curriculum and teaches the advanced risk management modules. Still occasionally gets surprised by creative new ways people can mismanage budgets—which honestly keeps the work interesting.
Our Teaching Philosophy
Financial education shouldn't require translating everything from academic-speak into actual English. We focus on teaching skills you'll use next month, not theories that sound impressive but don't help when you're facing a real budget decision.
Real Scenarios Only
Every case study comes from actual businesses that dealt with budget issues. We change the names but keep the messy details that make the lessons stick.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
We teach approaches that tend to reduce financial risk. But markets change, circumstances vary, and sometimes things go sideways anyway. That's just how finance works.
Continuous Updates
Financial patterns shift. What worked in 2023 might need adjusting for 2025. We update course material regularly based on what's actually happening in Australian businesses right now.
