A Personal Mission to Help Families Thrive Financially

Finviva was born from lived experience—where money wasn’t just about numbers, but emotions, habits, and relationships. I'm Maggie, a Certified Financial Coach, and I’m here to guide families through clarity, calm, and practical action.

Turning Pain into Purpose

My relationship with money was shaped by fear, silence, and survival. Growing up in a traditional Asian household, financial conversations were often tense and controlling. Later, I found myself in an emotionally abusive relationship, constantly in survival mode—financially and emotionally. That experience pushed me to take back control, build my independence, and create a life where money didn’t hold me back, but gave me freedom.

After working in the finance industry alongside top wealth advisers, I realised that many families—regardless of income—struggled with the same things: misalignment, emotional baggage, and financial stress. I started Finviva to bridge that gap. It’s a safe, supportive space where couples and families can reset their money habits, communicate openly, and feel empowered about their future.

The Experience Behind the Empathy

Before founding Finviva, I spent years supporting high-net-worth clients in the financial services industry. But my deeper understanding came from lived experience—navigating money stress, emotional strain, and the need for real-world solutions. I became a Certified Financial Coach to help families build strong financial foundations with both clarity and compassion.

From Money Stress to Confidence

Real stories from individuals and families who turned financial stress into confidence. Their journeys show what’s possible when you get the right support.

Before working with Maggie, I didn’t have a clear plan for managing my finances. Budgeting wasn’t something I had ever really done, and I often found myself spending money without much thought. I also struggled with certain beliefs about money that held me back from
feeling in control.

Through her coaching, Maggie helped me gain a better understanding of my spending habits and gave me practical tools to manage my finances more effectively. She provided a structured approach that made budgeting feel more manageable and helped me see where
my money was actually going. I really appreciated her honest, non-judgmental approach. She created a comfortable space to talk about finances and gave me clear, realistic steps to improve my situation.

Now, I feel more confident with my money and more aware of my financial decisions. If
you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely wants to help,
I highly recommend Maggie.

I first discussed my money situation with Maggie when I became a stay-at-home mother. I wanted to continue staying at home and needed to start being smarter with the income I had. Maggie gave me great insight into investing the money we had as a family and how to manage the incoming money to ensure we were making the most of every dollar. I nowensure I have a realist budget which allows me to enjoy my days with my children but also tracks spending and helps keep us on top of bills. After my sessions with Maggie my partner and I communicate regularly and positively about money as we have understood our shared goals and lifestyle choices.

I was heading for a divorce and needed to work towards financial independence. Although being now a single mother and juggling work-life balance, I have achieved the freedom to have the choice of what to do with my money. Maggie was approachable, personable, and genuinely wanted to get a good understanding of my circumstances to guide me through my tough times. She empowered me to fight for my freedom, guided me on budgeting and financial knowledge. I am now on my journey to build my financial future, e.g. putting funds towards my superannuation and saving up for holidays as well as future investments.
