Transparency matters — here’s the fine print, without the fine print feel.
At The Wealth Nerd, I’m all about helping Australians make smarter money moves — whether that’s choosing the right accounting software, mastering your business budget, or understanding how to keep the ATO off your back.
To support the time and tools it takes to create this content (and keep my coffee fund going), I sometimes use affiliate links on this site. Here’s what that means, and what you can expect from me:
What Are Affiliate Links?
When you click on a product or service I recommend and sign up or make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
It’s kind of like a digital high-five from the company for sending you their way.
These commissions help me keep this site running, create honest reviews, and share free financial content — without cluttering the site with annoying pop-ups or irrelevant ads.
My Affiliate Philosophy
Not everything gets a feature here. In fact, most tools don’t.
I only recommend products or services that I:
✅ Personally use, have tested, or would confidently recommend to a fellow small business owner or solo operator
✅ Believe are genuinely useful, fair value, and help solve a real-world financial problem
✅ Would still talk about even if there was no commission involved
If it’s not something I’d use myself or suggest to a friend — it doesn’t make the cut. Simple as that.
Sponsored Posts & Paid Partnerships
Occasionally, I may publish content in partnership with a brand. If that happens, it’ll always be clearly disclosed at the top of the post. I never accept payment to write a glowing review, bend the truth, or sneak in promotions that aren’t a fit for you.
Integrity first — because trust is worth more than a quick buck.
How This Affects You
When you click an affiliate link or sign up through this site:
- You never pay extra
- Sometimes, you actually pay less, thanks to exclusive discounts (like 90% off Xero for 6 months)
- You help support a local blog that’s all about making finance less complicated and more empowering
So thank you — it really means a lot.
Questions? Want to Chat? I’m always up for a transparent conversation. If you have questions about an affiliate link, want more info on how I vet tools, or just want a second opinion before buying something — get in touch here.
TL;DR
- Yes, I use affiliate links
- No, you don’t pay more
- Yes, I only recommend what I believe in
- No shady stuff, ever
