Building Financial Literacy Through Real Experience

We started nexbexsolwex because too many Australians were making financial decisions without proper guidance. Our approach combines practical education with real-world insights to help you understand money management in today's complex landscape.

Our Story

From Personal Struggle to Educational Mission

Back in 2019, I watched my neighbour lose thirty thousand dollars to a financial advisor who promised unrealistic returns. That conversation over the fence changed everything for me.

I'd been working in financial services for twelve years, but seeing someone I knew personally get hurt by poor advice made it real. The problem wasn't just bad advisors — it was that regular people didn't have the knowledge to spot red flags or ask the right questions.

nexbexsolwex started as weekend workshops in our Nowra community center. We wanted to teach practical finance skills that people could actually use. The response surprised us — within six months, we had waiting lists.

Teaching Finance Through Real Scenarios

We don't just explain concepts — we walk you through actual situations you'll face, using examples from our years of client work and market observation.

Investment Fundamentals

Learn to evaluate investments by examining real ASX companies, understanding their reports, and recognizing warning signs that many investors miss.

Property Market Insights

We analyze actual property deals from the South Coast region, showing you how to calculate genuine returns and spot overpriced markets.

Risk Assessment

Using case studies from the 2020 market crash and 2025's economic shifts, you'll learn to identify and manage financial risks before they hurt you.

Retirement Planning

Break down superannuation rules, calculate what you actually need, and understand how legislative changes affect your long-term plans.

Our Teaching Philosophy

Most financial education is either too basic or too complex. We aim for the middle ground — giving you enough knowledge to make informed decisions without overwhelming you with unnecessary detail.

Our classes use real examples from the Australian market. When we discuss share analysis, we'll look at actual ASX companies. When we cover property investment, we use genuine South Coast property data. This approach helps you apply what you learn immediately.
