Building Financial Confidence Through Real Understanding

We started lomberaviqo because too many Australians felt overwhelmed by financial decisions. Our mission is simple: make money management accessible, practical, and genuinely helpful.

Why We Do What We Do

Back in 2019, I was sitting in a café in Civic when a friend asked me to explain superannuation. She'd been working for eight years and had no idea how her super actually worked. That conversation lasted three hours.

It hit me then — financial education in Australia has a massive gap. People get advice about what to do with their money, but rarely understand why those decisions make sense. We founded lomberaviqo to bridge that gap.

Today, we work with individuals and businesses across Canberra to build genuine financial literacy. Not quick fixes or get-rich schemes, but real understanding that lasts a lifetime.

What Drives Our Work

Education First

We believe understanding comes before action. Every session focuses on building your knowledge, not pushing products or services.

Practical Focus

Real scenarios, actual numbers, genuine situations. We work with what's happening in your life right now, not theoretical examples.

Long-term Partnership

Financial literacy isn't a one-time workshop. We build ongoing relationships that evolve as your circumstances change.

The Person Behind the Process

Kieran spent his early career in traditional banking, watching clients make decisions they didn't fully understand. After completing his CPA and working across retail and commercial banking, he realized something important was missing from financial services.

"I'd explain mortgage structures or investment options, and clients would nod along. But I could see they weren't really getting it," Kieran explains. "They'd agree because they trusted the institution, not because they understood the choice."

This led him to develop a different approach. Instead of presenting solutions, he started with questions: What are you actually trying to achieve? What keeps you awake at night about money? How do you want your financial situation to look in five years?

That questioning method became the foundation of lomberaviqo's educational approach. Every session starts with understanding your goals, then builds the knowledge you need to achieve them confidently.
