Programmes

Three programmes, each built for a different kind of need.

One session, five weeks, or four months — the right scope depends on what you are trying to understand. All three are held at our Cyberjaya studio or over video.

Our approach

How we work across all three programmes.

Start with what you have

We work from the participant's actual situation — their bank statements, their pay slips, their current accounts — rather than from abstract examples that may not apply.

No jargon without explanation

If a technical term comes up in a session, the facilitator explains it in plain language before using it again. Financial literacy is built gradually, not assumed.

Leave with something concrete

Every programme ends with something the participant can take away — a clear picture of one month's cash flow, a set of weekly frameworks, or a printed five-year household plan.

Programme 01

Monthly Money Walk-Through

Single session · approx. 90 minutes · RM 490

A ninety-minute session for adults who would like to look at one recent month of their spending and saving in the company of a calm facilitator. The session covers the shape of the month's cash flow, any irregular items that might be better planned for in future, and one or two small, realistic adjustments the participant feels ready to try.

The programme is deliberately modest in scope. It is not a financial plan, and it is not a comprehensive audit. It is a structured first look — one month, one conversation, one set of observations — held either at the Cyberjaya studio or over video.

What the session covers

  • Full review of one month's inflows and outflows
  • Identification of irregular or unplanned items
  • One or two realistic, participant-chosen adjustments to consider
  • Brief written notes from the facilitator, shared after the session

How it runs

1
You send one month's bank statement (or bring it on your phone) ahead of the session
2
The facilitator reviews it and prepares a simple summary of the month's shape before you arrive
3
The session walks through the summary together, with space for questions
4
Brief written notes from the session are sent to you within 48 hours

A second person (partner or household member) is welcome at no additional charge.

Programme 02

Young Professionals Group Programme

Five weeks · two hours per session · groups of up to 8 · RM 1,620

A five-week small-group programme for professionals in their twenties and early thirties, meeting once a week for two hours. Groups are capped at eight participants and meet at the Cyberjaya studio, with reading materials sent in advance each week.

The content is built for someone earning a working-age income in Malaysia — it covers the documents and decisions that come up early in a professional career, and it does so without assuming significant prior knowledge.

Topics across the five weeks

1
Reading a pay slip: gross pay, deductions, EPF, SOCSO, PCB
2
Setting up saving instructions: accounts, proportions, and how to make it require less willpower
3
EPF as a long-horizon account: how to think about it, what voluntary contributions involve
4
Personal insurance: what it is, how it is priced, how to think about what you need
5
Medium-term saving goals: what they look like on a typical working income in the Klang Valley
  • Reading materials sent ahead of each weekly session
  • Studio-based, with video attendance possible for select sessions
  • No financial products recommended or discussed in sales terms

Programme 03

Five-Year Written Plan Engagement

Four months · four meetings · RM 4,350

A four-month engagement that produces a short written household plan describing current financial position, considered priorities, and a small set of annual checkpoints across the next five years. The plan is printed on good paper and handed to the household at the closing session.

The engagement is built around four meetings: a detailed listening session where the facilitator gathers information about the household's current position and what they are trying to work toward; two working sessions on current position, medium-term goals, and risk; and a closing review where the document is read line by line together before being handed over.

Four meetings, four months

1
Listening session: Understanding current position, what the household owns, owes, earns, and spends
2
Working session one: Current financial position in detail — assets, liabilities, monthly structure
3
Working session two: Medium-term goals and risk — what the household is trying to reach and what trade-offs feel acceptable
4
Closing review: The completed document is read line by line and any points are discussed before handover
  • Twelve to eighteen pages, written in plain language
  • Printed on quality paper — a physical record, not a PDF
  • Payment can be split: half at start, half before session three
  • Suitable for individuals, couples, or households
