About Jackie

Jackie is a personal budgeting expert, author, and founder of The Simple Budget. Her mission is to empower people to take control of their finances and simplify budgeting for individuals and small businesses alike. Jackie’s passion for personal finance was ignited when she and her husband purchased their first home 20-odd years ago and started thinking about their long-term financial plans. With a bachelor of Commerce from Griffith University, Jackie has dedicated her career to helping people manage their money more efficiently, regardless of their income or educational background.
Jackie noticed that many people struggle with managing their money, regardless of income or education, and began helping friends and family set up budgets on scraps of paper. This led her to write her first book, The Simple Budget, and develop an accompanying budgeting workbook and now offers half-day budgeting workshops aimed at individuals and small businesses to help them understand and set up their own unique budgets.
