Our core values
We believe in four core values and are committed to customer satisfaction and excellence.
Embrace change
By nature we’re curious and adventurous. We love being bold and making iterative improvements often. The ability and willingness to iterate fast is in our DNA.
Based on client feedback, we’re always at-the-ready to realign our road map to consistently deliver value to customers.
Carte Blanche
We loathe bureaucracy and avoid micromanaging, we see leadership as a support function. We build co-worker and organisation trust and encourage diverse thinking through well-defined processes that give our people freedom and flexibility.
Employees enjoy discretionary powers to make decisions using good reason and judgment. Clearly communicated KPIs for teams and individuals removes bias, provides transparency, upholds accountability, and awards recognition.
Find wisdom in data
Data first! Always make use of data and information to answer questions and solve problems. Use knowledge from data to drive decisions and back any claims or ideas you put forward. Be resourceful, measure, analyse and influence positive change.
We all 'own it'
Our determined, optimistic attitude drives us to step up and take a lead role. We’re all shareholders so we all have a shared interest and meaningful purpose to take responsibility and own it! Collectively, our ‘get it done’ attitude makes a great impact.
Our history
Our Founder & CEO, Simon Lenoir, experienced the struggle with expense management first-hand, back when he founded his first company, Rezdy, a global B2B SaaS business.
In fact, Simon mentioned to his long-time friend, the CEO of Spriggy (a mobile app and prepaid Visa card that makes it easy for parents to manage pocket money), that “if parents can trust a 12 year-old with a card, then CEOs can certainly trust their employees with a card!”
However, Simon could not find a suitable solution in Australia, so he decided that he would be the one to build it, solving this problem that so many small-to-medium Australian businesses experience.
The urge to build Budgetly was born.
