Tony van de Kerkhof

If you’re running a business, managing a household, or working toward building something bigger for your family, you already know one thing: money isn’t simple. Your personal finances affect your business. Your business decisions affect your ability to borrow. And when those two worlds overlap, most people are left trying to figure it out alone — or working with professionals who only understand one side of the equation. This course is built differently. Created by Tony van de Kerkhof, co-founder of The Finance Family, this program is grounded in real-world experience helping business owners, families, and everyday Australians structure their finances in a way that actually supports what they’re building. Since 2017, Tony and his team have helped hundreds of clients, from first home buyers to multi-site business owners — navigate the complexity of managing money across both personal and business life. Inside this course, you’ll learn the foundations of managing money properly — from understanding how money works, to building a budget, reducing debt, and creating sustainable savings. But more importantly, you’ll learn how to think about money in a way that aligns with your goals — whether that’s growing your business, investing in property, or creating financial stability for your family. Because managing money isn’t just about numbers, it’s about building something that lasts.
